Bill_S Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Nice work on those MGs! I use a lot of those small containers, too. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 One pod down, one to go. Believe it or not, this took me about 8 hours to do in fits and starts, given my hamfists and all those incredibly fiddly parts. Lots of cuss words, glued fingers, and long breaks to recover my perspective. How I hate little PE parts!

Wegener Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Looks good so far. I snaffled the same kit and the 3.7cm barrels last year so will be watching for ideas I can steal. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Excellent start Tim, those Master MG81 barrels are fiddly but worth it aren't they. Looks fantastic, carry on!! Regards.Andy BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eduard PE certainly looks better than the kit parts, but I hope you're better with the itty bitty stuff than I am. 12 minutes ago, monthebiff said: Excellent start Tim, those Master MG81 barrels are fiddly but worth it aren't they.

Out2gtcha Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Wow that looks awesome bub! It really makes things pop when its got that coat of primer on it. Fiddly, yes but the scale fidelity of the PE parts there is really noticeable. Looks way better than chunky plastic.

Mark P Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Nery nice job on the Bk 37... They will really make the rest of the kit stand out I am sure! Can I ask what you use to attach the metal gun barrels to the pod? Epoxy? Cyano glue? Mark Proulx Martinnfb and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShotMagnet Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The PE for the MGs made my eyes explode. Very fine work. I have one of these myself, though I probably won't do the PE additions for the MGs. Still, gonna keep an eye on this one.

Thomas Lund Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I have the same kit and although Rudel's look fantastic in winter wash, I will be avoiding that bastards plane. There are several other well documented kanonenboot's. A friend of mine found data for another ace in the 87G but unfortunately no picture. Think I will be doing that one anyway. I'm traveling now, so dont have access to the info, but if you are interested I can find it when I come home later this week...
