Chris/Germany Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hy mates, after beeing very busy this year with job and family business I´m back on serious modelling again and entered a real challenge......my first Vac! It will be the beautyfull He 219, and for sure this bird will be .......ripped! Progress goes on good so far, here are the pics of the last few weeks: 1st step: preparing vac parts ( started with starboard wing) and comparing measurements with drawings, pics and a 1/48 TAMYIA kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris/Germany Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 first main problem: motors! I will show both engine nacelles with complete opened flaps ( upper and lower) so i need motors.............a copy of a 1/32 spare motor was definatly to small/ short ( don´t know why) so I simply decided to scratch a master and copy it. Master was made from a Balsa core, covered with styrene sheet, a small electro motor is testfitted in this pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris/Germany Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 next problems: cowlings! I have a set of resin parts from Jerry Rutman with nice cowlings, only problem there: they are massive! From a front view the cooling-radiators will be visible, so I decided to cut everything but the front-cowlingring away from the Rutman parts and scratch the complete radiators.
