Hacker Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hi Hacker, what are you using for references ? I don't think C's had a rear seat like that butI hate to say never regarding LW research. The only references to earlier rear seats looked like a woven strap affair, something like this: Sometimes that indentation for the rear gun to rest in wasn't that noticable because it was often covered over for some reason. Nice addition tho Mike a b e n ...just wondering. this seating was introduced in the G variant when production was restarted. l have seen variations on this one like the one here and a more squareish type. Form what l see both are correct which leads me to believe right or wrong that there was two types manufactured by two different manufacturers. Personally l am going for the square one when l get there. not a very good pic but this is what l am after in the C-4 version hacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Have you had a geezer at the Eduard interior detail set for the G-4 kit. Its veeeely nice. Cheers Matty l have the interior set and though some of it ok alot of it is questoinable. For one the gunner/radar operator looks under size. l am using some of it l would like to get another instructment panel form it and seatbelts but you guys know me l mostly scratch build most of my stuff hacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 one of the difference between the C-4 and the G-4 is the rear cockpit. No self respecting 110G-4 would not be with out the Schrage musik gun installation. Here is what l am up against here rear gun position Schrage Musik installation hope this helps you with the differences l have to build into each. Even though access to the G-4 rear fuselage is closed in unlike the C-4 it will be more crowded. Wish me luck hacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 some work on the G-4 but still in a rough stage of things. l have to level out the radar operator/rear gunner seat and refine the Schrage Musik gun assembly a bit more. hacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well did some more work on the 110s here is what l have got so far l have been working on the radio and radar equipment. l need only one set of radar equipment but l needed two sets of radios. nothing like production scratch building. l have the PE units but they have no depth. Too me they are too two dimensional for my likings More later hacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 The radio equipment painted. l will wire it up later. one lower half is done in RLM 02 for the C-4 and the other is RLM 66 for the G-4. the white under the radar units is unpainted plastic as it will be glued to the top later Hacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Morning gang did some work on the C-4B rear cockpit. did alot of detailing on this half. The other half there is not much to do there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 also worked on the G-4 while l was at it. it is slightly different but not by much. l only did what is visiable there as the ammo bins and the radio equipment hides alot of the detail so l opted not to go there. also with the rear being closed off on this version l did not have to go as far back either. Well time to build both cockpits up front. wish me luck. l have only one instructment panel so l have to see what l can do here. l may end up going to a freind to mold it for me. Later dudes hacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
