dutik Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 I paint so I'm a painter: Brushpainted the u/c for a different look. Chips and scratches are on the u/c. The large T-shaped central part will follow next days. Then washes, fading, dust. Hey, I am painting the exterior! Do not remember when I made it that far with an aircraft kit Both jet exhaust got fitted. Meanwhile struggling to fit the jet intakes.

Kagemusha Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Would that be a re-release of the Cammett kit, or a new one? It'd be a re-release, Mastercasters have taken over the Cammett line. Have one in the stash myself, had to after seeing this http://www.hyperscale.com/2008/galleries/he162mistelsp_1.htm dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 It has just to materialize and to hit the shelves. How many years has been Trumpis Devastator coming now? But it's nice to have one E-377, indeed I confess to have that Hyperthingee link stored within my favorites. Very nice build. BTW, I've added some handles too. But if you compare my attempt and Spencer Pollards model you will note that I follow my own ideas about choice of colours. Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Awesome! I personally like th yellow on the trolley. It definitely reminds me of the old super used Luftwaffe power karts and what not. Great work so far Dutik. I will pick on of these up for SURE when they come out. dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Fading and pigments done: Some of the subtle shades and colorations got eaten by the flashlight. When assembled I will use the light box. A short brake to follow now. Have to do some travelling. A welcome braek to give the paints and solvents more time to cure finally. Next step are a coat of flat varnish (Gunze, the blue cans), followed by some dry mud splashes from below, grease, rainmarks and fuel spills from above. After this the trolley will fully assembled. Enjoy! - dutik Lars Befring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Back at the workbench: The painted and wheatered trolley: Close-up of the wheels and tires: The wheel carriages are glued, but only dry-fitted to the main axle. The upward facing bomb support legs are just clicked into the carriages, but not glued yet. I want to have some give and take for the fitting of the bomb and to get all wheels in contact with the ground when ready. Enjoy! - dutik Out2gtcha and tomv87 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy vd M. Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Only thing I was wondering about, aren't the (pneumatic?) cilinders supposed to be bare metal? Or is that still something that needs to be done? dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy vd M.

dutik Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Quite right. Ordered chrome BMF at the weekend and waiting for delivery. I was eager to build it and to see how it looks like No time to loose, so to say. Just get it ready now. A small step for mankind, but a large for dutik Also decided to add an towing eye at the front of the front wheel. Guess they didn't push it around by hand only. At least not with missle and airplane on top. Regards - dutik Edited February 11, 2014 by dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
