Hi Scott nice start mate, always liked the look of this one ever since it was released, so if you don't mind, I'm going to be tagging along for this one buddy ;)
 
Another 'Big German'! I shall definitely be watching this one come along.


Cheers

Hi guys I am going to say that I very highly recommended this kit, the sections go together better than any kit I have ever made and I have not had to use filler once so far on seam lines. I will however say that they ask you to add 90g behind the cockpit to allow it to sit up that's not enough, I have used 110g behind the cockpit and a further 66g in each nacelle.

Looking good Scott and I'm pleased to know the build is OK as I've got one in the stash!


I'm a tad concerned about the weight you've added though. Will the undercarriage be strong enough to support it? I have a sneaky suspicion I've read a review somewhere saying it won't - I'll have a look over the weekend.
 
I built th 1/48 Version of the same kit and I really enjoyed the kit 100%. The paint schemes on these " Owls are the best I have seen.


Looking good Scott ( I would love to build another sometime ( 1/32 it's gonna be a big ass bird ) Stona watch out!!!!


I'm in for this one


Regards

Definitely one of the prettiest planes of WWII, nice to see it's such a good kit to build.


What camo scheme are you going for Scott?
 
Nice work so far Scott, that is an enormous looking kit. Hoping your landing gear can handle the payload :)
 
looking good scott , its a very impressively sized kit isnt it . I agree with dave though about the weight , its a big heavy kit anyway and with over half a pound of weight added i would definitely get some metal undercarriage legs to avoid it doing the splits!! try these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAC-32069-Revell-1-32-Heinkel-He-219A-7-Uhu-White-Metal-Landing-Gear-/390854804866?hash=item5b00c30582:g:i4sAAOxyrrpTi6v- , cheers tony
 
It's a lot of weight (I make it just over 6oz Tony :) ).


I've not seen this kit, but it sounds like there is nowhere right at the front, in the nose, for the weight to go? Obviously the further in front of the main undercarriage you can get it, the less is required.


Looking good. It was a good looking aircraft, even if it didn't quite live up to expectation.


Cheers

But did scott put 66 grams in EACH of the nacelles as well as the 110gram in the cockpit! he'll have to strengthen his shelves too!! :D :D

Well if it collapses I will hang it from the ceiling although I may have to re enforce that too, slight error behind the cockpit is only 88g not 110g.

There are (expensive!) A/M metal undercarriage replacements available Scott - but I'll be b******d if I can find the review I thought I saw about the problem!:confused:


Mind you, I've just had a look at my kit and it would seem that you can add some metal pins inside the u/c parts - with a bit of tweaking. It certainly wouldn't hurt ......

Lovely looking aircraft Scott, doing a great job on it as usual ;)

Cheers much appreciated, will post more pics tomorrow regarding the undercarriage.
