Schwarze 1 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 and the last one for today. But don't worry, more will come. The next part of this thread will focus on making the base for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarze 1 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Some things I forgot to mention... Other than the decals, the model is built OOB according to the IPMS/USA standards. I'm not sure if they have that in New Zealand though. Sometimes I confuse my scratchbuilt seatbelts (buckles and all) as Eduard pre-painted sets. I recommend the EagleCals Decals for anyone building interesting Luftwaffe subjects, they are great and work like a charm! I know the blinkers are oversized. So long as they look okay from a distance. I am a junior modeller, so it's all good. Dominic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Crandall Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hi Dominic, Congratulations on your Stormbock A-8/R2 of Willy Moritz. He was a very nice man and considerate of his pilots. We visted him in Canada a couple of times and got some great stories. He would have proud to have seen your model. If you ever need reference for the "blinkers" let me know as I have one along with an original canopy. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarze 1 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Wikman, Why not fill in the big space of time working on your Messerschmitts and Focke Wulfs? I am thinking of working on... 1. The bases for my A8 and F8 2. My 1/72 Ju87 of Oberst Hans Ulrich Rudel 3. My 1/72 P-51B Mustang I have homework and school to deal with first though, Dominic Jerry Crandall, Thanks for the kind words on my Fw190. I would have been more than happy to meet the man that flew the plane that my model depicts. I don't know if I am going to make another one from the 12th Staffel, but then again I might bore myself to death just building Fw190s. I might deviate and work on Messerschmitts for a change (wait, it's still Luftwaffe... ). If Chris Novak is 'the ripper', Chris Kirchoff the 'messerschnutt', what about a Focke Wulf fanatic like myself??? I am on the quest in making a Fw190 D-11 in 1/32, and Chris Kirchoff has offered me a set to convert the new D9 kit, but this project I will save 'till my birthday, July 7. Speaking of July 7, does that date ring a bell in terms of any missions of the Sturmgruppe? (I read in another article regarding the 7th July being the best mission of the Sturmgruppe. And that being the reason I built the Sturmbock) I'll find time for more photos, so stay tuned, Dominic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarze 1 Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ok, I am going to rework the blinkers on my Fw190's canopy. For the moment they have been removed from the kit part and I will have to make a trip to the hobby shop for some supplies. Unless anyone knows who has the 1/32 Loon Models Fw190 detail set. Apparently a pair of resin blinkers are included in that set. If anyone does know anyone with the set, would I be able to obtain the blinkers in that set? If not, can anyone send me more pictures of the Sturmbocks canopy blinkers? just so I can get the proportion of the items. Thanks guys, Dominic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarze 1 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hey Cymru am Byth, Thanks for the photos. I will be getting into work, when I'm finished dealing with my assesments. The base is coming along nicely. I decided to use real grass instead of static grass. I still have to buy the planks but I will be sending pics of the base when I get the opportunity.

Schwarze 1 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Nearly there... ... I'm almost done with the base. I just need to add the planks and weather them. Now time to make purchase at the model shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
