FunkyZeit Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Some will cringe when I say that I free handed the lines. It shows in a few spots but looks pretty good still. Beautiful rivet job, Justin! What did you use to guide your Rosie? Wurzacher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyZeit Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) More of the same as the last update.. I've finished sanding the glue lines, rescribing the lost panels and adding rivets to all the panels and where the vertical ribs would be. I've decided NOT to add horizontal stringer run rivets as it'll just be too much. I don't want it to be too busy. The way ZM has designed the rear fuselage is a real pain, instead of having two halves to put together, it's 4 pieces - which creates a lot of extra work for the modeller. You'll see the top window sanded over as that was not present on the plane I am representing. Thanks again and keep an eye out! more exciting updates later today and tomorrow Justin Edited March 14, 2016 by FunkyZeit Uncarina, allthumbs and Wurzacher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Justin Super work on the 219 and all those rivets ... shame on ZM for over engineering as usual. I'm taking a boatload of notes for my build down the road. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Fantastic work here Justin. Just curious. Has the wing ever been mated to the He-219 fuselage at the Udvar- Hazy center yet? I saw her a few years back. I recall the nacelles were done and the fuselage was displayed but I didn't hear if the wings have been attached yet? I saw the wings were painted perhaps last year?

FunkyZeit Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Did some more work, this time on the ventral gun bay. Two panels on the left will be opened - but, there is little to no detail inside of this area. I added some piping and a few control panels to this area with wire and evergreen. Just a simple addition to busy up the area a bit. The gun chutes will not be used on this model as they wont be seen and are of course a big pain in the rear. I've had a few "throw in the towel" moments today in around 8 hours of work on this thing but I can't stop now. The gun tray will also be a big PITA to connect to the bottom fuselage as the panels do not line up and I'll likely need to use a shim to even everything out. The guns are not present in these photos, but they will be added. I should also say that I've added some rivets to the tray bottom. Some paint was laid today (can't believe I finally got to paint something) I painted the gun bays the standard grey green primer that is normally used and painted the preliminary details black. Hope you enjoy and again thanks for checking in! Justin Wurzacher, fab and Uncarina 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Buddee Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 C'mon Justin, it's way to early in the build to have a "throw in the towel" moment, LOL! Lookin' good so far. Cheers, Wolf FunkyZeit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
