LSP_Ray Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Incredible!!! The PE is done to the same amazing detail as the rest of the kit!!! And I call dibs on F1 + MT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zactoman Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Where is the 'bowing in respect' smiley? Thanks for the inspiration Radu! Spectacular... I still owe you an e-mail...Sorry I've been so busy! Great photo-etch work you've done. (My A-7 photo-etch is almost ready and the artwork was already finished, but thanks for your offer to help!)

Radub Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thank you very much everyone for your support and kind words. I am working on the box art right now. I will post that when ready. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 .. ... ! Can't think of a word to describe this Radu! Makes my models look like Matchbox toys... Come to think of it, some of them are. Can't wait to see the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks Allok. Here is the artwork for the box. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi Radu, The photo etch & artwork are superb, especially the former. Will you be providing artwork in 3/4 view form, partitularly for F1 + MT? I guess it's pretty much end of the road now and what a privilege it's been to see the fruits of your labour. I do hope you post your next project and that it's in 1/32! I ordered one as soon as I saw the ad, but I don't mind the wait-it's gonna be worth it, with bells on! Be very proud of what you've achieved. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hannover - Germany Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi Radu, that looks great! I can´t wait to get my hands on this kit... Just a question, is there an option for bombs which were carryed under the engine pods? Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks Kagemusha. All colour options will be described fully and a short history of each aircraft will also be included. Thanks Chris. The kit will include 3 bombs, one SC500 for the centreline rack and two SC250 for the racks under the engines. HTH Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi Radu, Could you tell me if the tow bar on the 234 was the same used on the Me262, and do you have any plans to produce one to go with a Dragon/Tamiya Kettenkrad? Also any recommendations regarding reference books for the kit-especially the cockpit? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boise Kent Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 How close are we to the release date? I need to scratch this itch and BUY one!!! Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi Kagemusha, In as far as I can figure out, the tow bar used with the Kettenkraftrad was different from the tow bar used when towed by a tractor. Either way, there is no tow bar included. The best reference for cockpit is the "Aero Detail No. 16 Arado Ar234 Blitz" This shows pictures of the restored aircraft preserved in the Smithsonian (some equipment is missing from it, but it has been very well restored).

Radub Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks Ted, I will do my best to build one as soon as possible. I have the resin parts here and I am working on the instructions sheet. I will post some pictures of the assembled parts as I progress with them. In the meantime, I finished the camera for the rear bay. As you can see, this is just the lens and shutter section, no film casette. Two of these will be included in the kit. No film casettes will be included in the kit because, first of all they cannot possibly be seen from any angle, no matter how hard one looks and secondly, they would not fit inside the fuselage and will be a waste. Even these parts (i. e. the lens section only, without the film casettes) will require a small bit of "shoehorning" to get in. Sadly, not much of these will be visible once they are in place - the camera bay openings are so small... For those interested in using these cameras for other projects, we plan to release them separately (this time with film casettes). Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
