Isar 30/07 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Posted June 24, 2018 Gentlemen, a little update today. As I forgot last time some wiring on the forward wheel well, here are some more wirings and rods. The nearly "naked" one http:// and the updated one http:// Coneheadff, Derek B, Harold and 2 others 5
Isar 30/07 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Posted June 24, 2018 Next stop - the cockpit! The Dayglo cockpit is somehow basic but the ejection seat and the instrument panel look superb! http:// http:// After some research and some scratchbuilding here are the results: http:// http:// http:// Derek B, Marcel111, Coneheadff and 2 others 5
Isar 30/07 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Posted June 24, 2018 The cockpit tub http:// http:// The IP hood http:// and the updated cockpit sides http:// http:// Derek B, Marcel111, Harold and 3 others 6
Isar 30/07 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Posted June 24, 2018 Checking the instruction sheet there is a major problem coming up: The intake is closed by a plate behind the forward wheel well! http:// And this is how it should be http:// I guess, there won´t be any AM producer to do something like "seamless suckers", I have to solve this on my own. At the moment I´m thinking of using lead foil from the beginning of the intake to the upward going of the main wheel wells. Not an easy Task but this could/should work - I hope! By the way - there are some casting problems on the bigger parts The underside of the cockpit tub is the top of the intake - with some putty and sanding this should be no major problem http:// Casting on the intake offer some more imperfections http:// Nothing, putty and a sanding stick won´t solve NO Problem so far, but you can see all over the entire model (the big parts as fuselage sides for example) a lot of bubbles! These bubbles laying all under the surface yet and I hope, the won´t "open" when sanding after putting the fuselage sides together! http:// That´s for today. Thanks for watching! Next stop will be the canopy…. Cheers - Reimund red baron, sandokan, Anthony in NZ and 4 others 7
sandokan Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 You are making a reat job Reimund!! I found some more pics (coming from magazines) I think could help little more. I scanned those pages in 600dpi. Here's the link to my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/e456h9e7z82axbf/AABi0vufVX2qNjhVpNLjbE4Za?dl=0 I'm following this amazing building! Cheers Tib Kagemusha, Harold and Isar 30/07 3
Isar 30/07 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Posted June 25, 2018 Tib, you know, this build would not work without your support and help! Once again - thank you very much my friend! Every new pic makes me do a little more on this kit. Cheers - Reimund sandokan, Kagemusha and Harold 3

Every new pic makes me do a little more on this kit. Cheers - Reimund Reimund, dear friend. I'm so glad if helped you as well as many did it the same to me many times. If you need any caption translation do not exhitate, call me! (please pardon my poor english) Notice: Do not forget the proper ejection seat model depending on the fact that the MB6 replaced as retrofit the early MB4 on italian and german G91s in the seventies Have a nice day Ciao, cheers Tib Edited June 25, 2018 by sandokan Isar 30/07 1
Harold Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I have the mk 4 seat here: http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/ams32122.htm I also did the mk 6 seat...They were for the Mirage, but should be very close to the ones used in this airframe. I can cast on request if anyone needs one. Edited June 25, 2018 by Harold Derek B, Anthony in NZ, sandokan and 4 others 7

I´m planning to do a late Gina, using the Mk 6 ejection seat, the bulged canopy and the later code style using numbers only instead of the earlier code system (letters + numbers). These "late" Ginas are much more attractive to me as they often had more stencils/servicing instructions on the a/c and prominent unit badges comparing to the earlier years of service. Beside that the late Ginas had their underwing tanks partially painted bright orange. I was thinking of doing an a/c of WaSLw 50 (weapons training unit 50 of Luftwaffe) which had additional bright orange painted on nose, wings and rudder but I´m still hoping we´ll see a twoseater in the future. All these (training) birds were painted this way.... But until the paint job, there is a long road ahead.... Cheers - Reimund Harold, sandokan and Coneheadff 3
Kagemusha Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Fantastic work Reimund, really like your choice of, prospective, markings. Harold and Isar 30/07 2
Isar 30/07 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Posted June 26, 2018 I have the mk 4 seat here: http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/ams32122.htm I also did the mk 6 seat...They were for the Mirage, but should be very close to the ones used in this airframe. I can cast on request if anyone needs one. Harold, thanks for these informations. As my choice is the late Fiat, I´m pretty happy with the kit´s ejection seat. I did some addtitional research and recognized some more details missing on the kit´s Mk 6. I´m not sure if ALL these details would be seen once the ejection seat is glued into the cockpit but I have to do some more detailing. Cheers - Reimund sandokan and Harold 2
sandokan Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) You are so kind Reimund! Thank you. Nice project you are making also for the next training variant you told about. Great!!! It is really amazing to follow lessons in modeling you 're doing! A big hug. Ciao-cheers Tib Edited June 27, 2018 by sandokan Isar 30/07 1
sandokan Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Hi Reimund. I hope you didn't yet completed the interior of the Gina cause I've found many superdetailed photographs coming from Luca Ocretti, a Facebook friend of mine. He works and studies at an aerotech school in Udine, Italy and owns hundred of pictures and walkaround videos for restoring and game simulator duties. He said to me will be happy helping you so you can contact him at: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004380134662 Big cheers Tiberio Coneheadff 1
Isar 30/07 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Posted August 13, 2018 Hi Tiberio, a short break takes much more time than expected - sadly. This project isn´t cancelled - just stopped for a few more days to come due to some other things to concentrate on. Thank you very much for your support! The interior is not completed so far, so I´m very curious of things to be discovered on the facebook link. All the best! Cheers - Reimund sandokan 1
sandokan Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Enjoy your break Reimund. Wishing you the best Ciao Tib
