    This whole thread belongs on the SiFy and fantasy models forum :-) Luft 46?? Had the Normandy beachead been thrown back etc then Oppenhimers gadget would have put paid to Germany in August 45. Have fun modeling, diversify into other genres sify, tanks, ships that's why this is a great hobby but please don't refer to this as a scale model aircraft because it's not, it's science FICTION whatever it's purported scale is

    Hi Nick, The step in the radio room is awful and really inaccurate (and visible). HK fixed this when they did the E/F version and carried it over to the re-release of the G as well as making the rear crew access door a seperate part. Cheers Brent

    More progress, after a house move I have my work space set up again and the Doll is now ready to have her fusalage sides closed up. I went with the excellent eduard Brassin guns but didn't like the barrels so added Master barrels darkened with Uschi blackening fluid. I really wanted to leave the barrels off until the end of the build but when adding rge Eduard guns and mounts the attachment was kind of weak so I added the barrels to assist with the connection, it remains to be seen how many times I break them off!! The front end, very crowded!! Another view, fabric belts and Master flexible ammo belts look pretty good The radio room with raised step eliminated and belts added to seat. Left waist, not worried about the ejector pin marks as they will never be seen Right waist. Right front, scratchbuilt oxy bottle, will be fun tetrising the ammo belt to the gun once the fuse is joined! Test fit, should be OK. Thanks for looking in. Cheers Brent

    You are doing fantastic work here! I hope I'm not pushing my luck but are you considering the early style tailplanes? I am wanting to do an Aussie Mk 21. Cheers Brent

    Modelers who are serious about the Beau, (which I figure is everyone on this thread) should invest in the Valiant wings Beau book, it answers ALL of the questions being submitted here. Cheers Brent

    Great project! More knowledgable people than me might confirm but I'm pretty sure the P was never used in Africa despite what the box art might show?

    More progress. I went ahead and completed most of the woodgraining. my method for this is to airbrush a coat of MRP clear doped linen over the parts to recieve the treatment, any tan colour will do but the shade chosen will effect the final result, I was going for a light ply effect so chose the CDL. Next stage is to slap on a coat of raw umber oil paint, lay it on and make sure all of the underlying colour is covered. Now take your significat others large make up brush and stroking with the intended direction of the grain remove most of the oil paint. allow to dry thoroughly! Here is the result. Here are the radio room and front section floors, the front floor was scribed to reflect the wood panels and demarcation between the wood and aluminium areas. The cockpit with eduard enhancements and Master control columns Cockpit side walls, The OD sections were coated with Mr Surfacer to represent the padding used in this area, I uset kabuki tape to represent the straps around the oxygen bottles rather than the Eduard items as this method was far easier and the area will be difficult to see once the fusalage is buttoned up Seats with HGW cushions and belts, these are worthwile as they can be easily seen and make a huge difference to the kit supplied items. Eduards panel, Eduards colour panels look much nicer if you spray a coat of flat clear over them then pick out the dials with clear, this removes the pixalation sometimes evident in these sets. The other side, enhanced by Eduard. All together I am moving house next week so next post might be a while, see yuo then, thanks for following!
