Troy Molitor Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'm still stuck on the impressive trolley efforts and now the cockpit is now coming to life. What a great effort all the way around Kent. I'm really enjoying all the updates. Troy kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Gadbois Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Just discovered this very impressive conversion! The prototype 234s are my favorite models of this aircraft. The clear vac parts are are just perfect, and I know how though it is to make them. How did you figure out the shape of that "slide" above the seat? I never found a clear photo of it.

Alain Thanks, your absolutely right Alain, it's not easy, it's a challenge, that's why it's interesting ;-) I wasn't sure what to call the 'plate' behing the seat, but you nailed it, it's exactly what it is, a 'slide' thanks! At first I couldn't see the 'slide' in the photos, but in one of the photos of the wooden mock up it was quite clear, what was going on... Then I read somewhere, that all new Luftwaffe designs had to incorporate a catapult seat. So I think this is what it is, preparation for a catapult seat, obviously it was taken out before the B model went into production? When I went back to the closeup photos of the V-models, I suddenly was able to see the faint outline of the 'slide' in most of them... In this photo it's almost impossible to see the 'slide', but when you look for it, the shape is visible...

Wouter Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Nice detective work. I love these kind of eureka! moments when you finally figure out how it's supposed to be. Looking good Kent, almost on with painting I recon? kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good Kent, almost on with painting I recon? I haven't decided Wouter, initially I wanted to build both Arado's before painting, but now I'm tempted to continue and finish this one first?
