1/32 Arado 234B

Sorry to revive this. Could one of you who have the kit please post the kit number? It's part of a graphic at MDC and way too small to read. Need this for the Large Scale Kit database.

 

Thanks.

Hi Slartibartfast,

The code for the Arado is RBK32002.

Hi Jamie,

The glue residue was sanded away and cleaned. Some parts look very messy before they are shown.

 

Hi Misha71,

My tools are very basic to say the least. I use a steel ruler, an Olfa slide-and-snap modeling knife, a Swann Morton scalpel with a # 11 blade, a Minicraft drill (their basic model) and a few sets of files (one set of Mikromark needle files and a set of Chinese "Diamond Brand" cheap files). I use the Mastercaster sanders a lot. I have a pin vice and a set of miniature drills (0.3 to 13 mm) that I got from Mikromark. I use just one set of bent nose tweezers, that I also use to bend small parts like a pliers. I use a Clisby lathe (very basic) and recently I obtained an Unimat 1 lathe/milling machine but did not put it through its paces yet. All my tools are old, scratched, rusty and splattered with superglue, primer, paint.

All you see is done by hand with basic tools. I use an awful lot of plasticard and styrene extruded shapes (Evergreen, Plastruct, etc) that I buy from my "local" (60 Km away ;-)) model shop.

The glues I use are MekPak, Revell needle-dispenser glue and cheap superglue that I buy in blister packs by the dozen from the local euro store.

Believe me, you do not want to see my desk - it is a mess and at this moment it is covered in dust.

Hi Radu,

I’m new here.  Apologies for the necropost - Why is it that as a member I also can’t enjoy your work? Your photos are closed to me.

You may not know this, but some of the image hosting services used in these old threads are defunct or otherwise broken. No one can see the old posted images. It’s not just you.

Reconstructing years worth of illustrations in build logs is a bridge too far for many. Some were so affected by the Photobucket disaster that they pretty much stopped posting works in progress here. It’s what it is.

I think the photos may be gone from the server. The photos were uploaded straight to LSP. Back in those days that was possible for LSP to host image files. LSP has moved a few times to various servers since 2007 and chances are that something happened to the photos during one of those moves.
When this happens I recommend the “Way Back Machine” where you can find old snapshots of pages taken over time. Here is the Arado thread as it was in 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210602100014/https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/14754-132-arado-234b/page/6/

Lol I should have checked the link before - I’ll just let it be!  Hopefully I’ll be able to see any new posts/builds.

 

Incidentally I’ve noticed that doing my own logs I can’t load up from the camera (iPad pro) - not sure how I can make it happen as being an Apple dude I’m not familiar with URLs

I may have some good news on the missing images front. Stay tuned...

I'm pleased to report that all the missing images from this thread have been restored. In fact, I've been able to restore in excess of 20k missing images on the server, so hopefully this improve the value and utility of our legacy content.

Nice one Kev, I went through my builds and replaced the Photobucket images, took a while and I'm sure that I have missed some but it's done now.

 

Cheers

Can I ask how many were sold, mine is still in its box, never had the courage to go beyond opening the box, still think it’s beyond my skills.
