    Looks great.. Also seeing the workbench in the reflection, real nice own space there.

    WoW....il looks stunning, like it alot. one of my first builds, yes 7yrs old in the Seventies were a Matchbox Helldiver in 1:72.... and this gave ne so sweet memories of that aircraft. like it alot.

    Allright. geez real sparse info on that fire extinguisher in Arado, but there are alot of similarities with Stuka on many things in layout....oh well later, Focusing on that navigator/gunner seat, as mentioned, the one provided in the model is superior compared to HGWs in this case, so work on that, reference pics i got, yes ad detail so Plastic Card to the service, drill em holes and glue them in to place, paint, wash...all that, and yes, seen many attach them belts under the seat, nope they should be attached on the arms/console...and yes try so random as possible and make em lay down natural with metal parts...took i while. This will do just fine for me, it looks like im getting closer to get another model in my glass cabinet.

    Oh boy what a brutal beast. like that mean look, similar that FW190 Sturm with armoured windows and side plates do. looks so massive, so cool aircraft imo. if i build Brittish aircraft, it will definitly be a Typhoon Cardoor, and you sure give me cravings to do so...yes you do...but hey i stick to one model at the time....
  7. Mal_Belford
    Looking the RFI pics, a question. That attachment, how did you do that, love all them details you done.
  8. Mal_Belford
    Hmmm. New search...recall as ive seen a fire extinguisher somewhere, located near that Compass...and yes im not sure at all. ill see how i do about that, yes or no...getting buzy in the navigator area allready haha. not sure...oh well, another quest then lol. Luftwaffe fire extinguisher hey we will see then. And yes never done so much research about an aircraft with so little documented references before in the cockpit, exterior tons of pics, but inside yaikes, indeed a puzzle, pieces here and there to put up a whole picture.

    Small steps the time, i really enjoy this build very much....that backrest belt is done, aswell the triangle attachment points, use the parts that looks best, so it is a mix of Eduard, Quintas 3D, HGW, in this case HGW and Quintas 3D, and the navigator seat, well using the one the model, HGWs is little to small and doesnt look that good either. The MG mags, geeez they are horrible, sink mark in almost everyone, so they are useless, ordered few days ago new ones and MG15 from Eduard. so will arrive early next week.

    @Furie Funny you mention, a friend asked if i could build a Tintin version, Commission build, he changed his mind after what it would cost in this scale with all AM and scratch, suggested 1:72 quickbuild and no extra except exhaust stains....and benefit it will fit anywhere in a bookshelf lol
  11. Mal_Belford
    Thanks Kev, sure need it. this build is sure a jigsaw puzzle in info and research on this aircraft i have to put together, pieces here and there to get a full view...so far sure been right....this is in a way a mysterious aircraft.
  12. Mal_Belford
    This is different in photos taken. i like it alot. LoL if you around me close in Sweden in would love to invite you to take pics on my Arado when done in the future 🥰
  13. Mal_Belford
    Looks fantastic. Black camo is more challenge imo, harder to break up that monotone, and you acheived real real fine result i like, ill try someday to do s night camo on a aircraft. i like it.
  14. Mal_Belford
    Also this piece, not sure if use it. it is for the navigator/gunner, back belt that goes from one to otherside. Real hot situation it cannot be so practical, due the seat is on rails, and change position and that belt is in the way in situations and all that, so having qualified guessings that it is removed...but not confirmed by real photos. Ill see how i do about this.
  15. Mal_Belford
    Meanwhile before new Quintas 3D decals on its way, other things to do. That harness...allright, fun therapy work when its best.. love it. But also noticed a mistake om the unclear manual. The Pilots harness is on top and the navigator/gunner below...Sorry HGW, that extra belt, where is it suppose to go, well not the pilot, as ive seen it somewhere....and yes on the floor, get the drill and couple small holes for that attachment, used wire, aaaaand now in place, no it is not glued yet, it will be fixed later in position. also that seat, the one HGW will not be used, the provided in the kit is the one to go for in this case, will use milliput to do a new cushion, and yes it ks suppose to have buttons like a sofa. but later.
  16. Mal_Belford
    Real nice work on the landing gear. i like them flaps, the comb edge, and yes PE is the thing on this build
  17. Mal_Belford
    Yeah and we are quick learners. Later this evening focus on the navigators seat and harness, meanwhile waiting for new Quintas 3D decals, got the engine, riveting awaits aswell. so will be occupied with this kit doing other parts.
  18. Mal_Belford
    no update this evening that was the idea. Worked on the main IP panel, and shredded that 3D Quintas IP panel as had that great idea of adding levers....and drilled holes for them shafts. that were indeed a real real bad idea, 😫 😆.... that mistake costed me $30, ordered new one few minutes ago. and no pic on that. Work on other things on this model tomorrow. And ill asure you all, wont do that again.....ever. Now you know.

    Thanks Andy. As ive figured out Plywood. googled alot about this but very very sparse on info, from end of cockpit to stern, fuselage is covered with fabric
  20. Mal_Belford
    Yes..yes...i like it alot...weathering... I like that metal finnish you acheived. i like it very much.
  21. Mal_Belford
    I like this...neat and crisp, those exhaust pipes look fantastic....
  22. Mal_Belford
    And i stand in same choir as the rest wrote ... WoW...indeed. i saw it first...second..third, yaih i like it very much.
  23. Mal_Belford
    Yes...thats it, thanks 😊...now i know what its called in English
  24. Mal_Belford
    Oh boy...that looks fantastic imo, said it before and say it again. Also, big+ is the workbench where it all happens, when working mine is similar, with resets. love it.
  25. Mal_Belford
    Forgot to ad, small detail. Navigation triangle will be added later on the desk, as map, ruler and (dunno what its called in English the two needle tool to measure distance on a map) is allready on the nav desk. yes studying navigation now and then for sailing....lol
