kkarlsen Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) All the parts are close to being done. I've decided to enhance the panel lines and to add riveting... I hope it will be add some subtle texture when painted and sanded back a bit... I know the surfaces probably were putty'd, let see how this turns out when finished... Next is to start the assembly...

Troy Molitor Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Just awesome efforts going on here. The Arado is just pleasing to see your magic is doing total justice on the bird. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that! Juraj Is it really that obvious? Your right, I love this part of a build... Right wing nacelle in place... Since I will wait with the assembly of the fuselage and wings, there's no way around it, I have to work on the cockpit parts... I've tried to add some extra detailing from photos of the Arado cockpit.

kkarlsen Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Thank you for your many encouraging comments. So it begins... I'm headed for the paintshop. Starting with the cockpit, using different shades of grey to add some interest to the surfaces. The armrests have been swept back and a scratched box for a flashlight. Continuing with the engines painting different shades of grey and aluminum mixes. Masking and painting of the 'black' middle part of the Jumo's. Airbrush work finished... Details painted... The finished Jumo engines. While I was at it I primed the fuselage and wings with some grey primer mixed with silver to get a base for the continued work. Funny how the metallic color changes the kit from a 'milk chocolate' plastic toy into the illusion of an actual metal airframe. Fitting the cockpit. The left engine test fitted...

Trak-Tor Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Your paintshop doesn't dissapoint, does it? I'm sure you can finish this in two weeks. Telford's calling. Juraj kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telford's calling. Juraj I'm not sure if it will be finished by then Juraj, but I'm certainly going for it... Cockpit parts are done... The Arado at the Udvar-Hazy Center, shows the instrument panel was made of Bakelite, so I've tried to emulate this material. Instrument decals are kit/Airscale... For the glass I've used HPH's epoxy, I think it was Wouter who introduced this? HGW Seatbelts...
