Kagemusha Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Great progress, I'd leave the base as is. dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Nice work mate! I think the base would look great either way. Kev dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm on vacation the next days. Time for some more modelling fun If you want to see the Mistel live, join the show at Luebeck (Germany) at 26/27th April: Linky Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks I guess I made it with the filling/sanding/rescribing. Have to check the surfaces tomorrow in daylight and to add some last primer in places. If it looks ok I am ready to start painting the missle Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Facing one last problem, a Maiana Trench at the left wingroot (between the dotted line and the small real wing paneel, where the gray "shadow" is): Anyting else looks OK: Superglued some strip styrene into the "trench", sanded it level and rescribed the line. Dunno how often I rescribed this line. Sometimes I was in fear of sawing the wing of, given that repeated turns of filling and rescribing. Primed it another time. We shall see...

Rainer Hoffmann Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hallo dutik, das sieht sehr gut aus! Personally I think that trolley needs tarmac and grass. It just looks pretty businesslike and a wooden base wouldn't do it justice. But that's only my two (EURO) cents.

dutik Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Prepared the transport box to move the Arado as well as other stuff (dioramas this time) to the exhibition at Luebeck. I own a large aluminium box with a sealed lid. Size was choosen large enough to fit WNWs Gotha if required - just in case I made a removable floor of 5 mm plywood as well as some simple inserts of plywood with styrofoam legs to have a second storage level. To fit dioramas or bases I just screw some wooden planks onto the plywood to keep the bases in place. To haul aircraft models I simply hotglue some styrofoam supports onto the board, make some cutouts and secure the models with wooden toothpicks. If no longer needed I simply unscrew the planks or break off the styrofoam an fit new supports of choice.

dutik Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Back from the trip. Was a good one. Met Fam43 too Some impressions: The happening was at the lobby of a music- and congresshall. Very nice location. There is a river behind the windows and behind it the old town center of Luebeck. Luebeck is an old german Hanse trading city, renown for the bulky Holsten gate and the Luebeck marzipan. For the LSP buffs: one of the surviving Me-262 B night fighters was recovered near the city by the Brits at the end of WW2. My share of the table: The stuff of my fellow modellers: Don't miss these WNW birds: Braille scale, but very nice (kitbash of 2 kits, scratchbuild parts and with full rigging!): Also added a few Skyraiders at the NAM groupbuild thread. Enjoy! - dutik tomv87 and Zero77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbadur Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 nice photos from Lübeck, thanks. How and when do you continue with Ar E-377? dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 It's summertime. Tourist main season, aka time to earn the money for living here down by the sea (living on an island, tourist destination). So anything modelling is going slow the next months. But I'll try to paint it and to have at least the lower airplane ready for display at IPMS Germany meeting at 6th/7th of September. This is at Gatow Luftwaffenmuseum. If you want to take a ride and visit the show you are welcome Regards - dutik Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Hoffmann Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hi dutik, may I ask which coast and which island? Living not too far from the North Sea I like the islands very much. Hellishly expensive, though. Cheers Rainer dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
