List of the final work done: The remaining decals including the bolts of the canopy Rudder and elevator 'horns' Canopy access window Levers and flare gun in the cockpit Landing lights Landing gear doors Engine panels Brake chute and box Antennas Pitot tube and the cameras... Thanks for looking. Cheers. Kent I'm very impressed by your build Kent! Especially those cameras. Are those from AIMS? I guess the rig for the camera is scartch-build - did you have any plans for this one (regarding dimensions)?

kkarlsen Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Vielen dank! Joachim. Yes the resin base for the RB 50/30 Camera's are from AIMS with some added detailing. No I haven't got drawings with dimensions on them. I've collected a lot of photos of the RB 50's and used them as a guide. I can recommend the Luftwaffe Colours vol 1 book: "Aufklärer: Luftwaffe Reconnaissance Aircraft and Units 1935-1941..." The closest I've come to drawings are these from OWL's 1/72 resin cameras...

kkarlsen Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Time to pick up this build, I still need to make the diorama base. Initially I just wanted to do a base with some concrete and grass. Then I got to thinking, maybe it would be possible to incorporate some details that would resemble some characteristics of 'Fliegerhorst Grove'. So I contacted a fellow modeler/historian Dan, who has been researching some of the German installations during the war. He could share some interesting information on the runway's and aircraft revetment hideouts at Grove. One detail is the rainwater drain of the runways... Another detail, are these special concrete slabs, used with the aircraft revetments and in other places. These concrete grass slabs 'Rasensteine' are still lying around in many places, and are even being sold off second hand... An idea for the garden perhaps? Of course I could not resist this. I have been working on a master for the 'Rasensteine', which will enable me to cast as many as I will need... This is the sketch I'm working from. Using aerial photos from 'Grove' for the concrete parts and a proposed layout of the 'Rasensteine'. For previous dioramas I've used plaster or sandpaper, but this time I will try to pour the runway with real concrete... Lets see how this turns out, just had to try...

Wow, thats cool! With real concrete, how heavy will it be in the end do you think? kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
