Rick K Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Ho229 being prepped at NASM Silver Hill facility for transportation to Udvar Hazys Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hanger. At the MBE Restoration Hanger you can see the extensive work to be done. Wing Trailing Edge showing the laminated birch separating. A process is being developed to restore. A closer look. You can see how the layered birch needs some TLC. Jan_G, Uncarina, Dany Boy and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageEagle Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi Jan, these engines look gorgeous! I like the subtle and not exaggerated weathering. Just one note: the engines were all bare metal except for the black center part around the combustion chambers. Cheers Roger Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one note: the engines were all bare metal except for the black center part around the combustion chambers. Cheers Roger Thanks Roger for the info. However at the begining I have decided to play Zoukei Mura game. And thats why I`m using instructions and their Concept Note as only reference for this build. And they call to paint partially engines with mixture of RLM 02 and silver (50/50) jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) what a great start to this really interesting piece in aviation history. I have been quite tempted to buy one of these kits, but I just don't have the room or the time to build it in such a way as to do it the justice it deserves. I've seen a few builds of this online and your on your way to adding to the list of fantastic examples. I will be watching with interest Edited September 8, 2017 by The Madhatter Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi Jan, What are those round objects just aft of the cockpit seat? Just curious if anyone knows what this things are? I'm also amazed at the picture of you behind the actual bird. I never realized the actual size of the 229 wasn't all that big. Awesome build going on here. Thanks for sharing.
