monthebiff Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 So I decided to get back to the Mistel build again and move it on somewhat, first things first I decided to get the instrument panel finished and fit to the foward nose to get a little strengh before fitting the resin parts. Airscale instrument decals were used throughout and worked perfectly. I then fitted the lower nose resin part from the updated AIMS G-6 set followed by the nose section. I also have the lower fuselage replacement resin part all cut and sanded to shape now which was no mean feat! and a test fit Plenty of work need to get some suitably decent looking panel fit/ lines but hopefully well worth the effort, I pretty well had the cockpit completed when John announced his G-6 upgrades which he kindly agreed to supply only the parts I needed for my G-10 build so would have not had these fit issues I am now needing to deal with if I had started with the new resin parts from the start of the build.

monthebiff Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thank you Peter, keeping it nice and clean with minimal weathering as a freshly out of the factory G-10 after a shake down flight in readiness for the Mistel conversion.

Dennis7423 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Having my own G-6 conversion stalled because of the poor fit of the lower nose piece, I envy your approach! Great job on this :-) - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job on this :-) - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Its definitely a tricky area on the conversion Dennis, thats pretty well why I put mine on the back burner for so long! Regards.

monthebiff Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Some more work done on the G-10 getting the resin parts an initial filling and sanding back session followed by finally getting the floor fitted at last Pretty happy so far with progress and how this is starting to come together now.

monthebiff Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 So the most difficult part of the nose conversion for me is the huge vac canopy, after careful cutting initial test fit is very good. Also looking at getting the fuselage extension fitted, I see lots of rescribing coming up on the fuselage when the nose and tail section finally come together. Fuselage conversion starting to come together now! Regards. Andy Hartmann52, Dennis7423, Rockie Yarwood and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Awesome Andy! Great to see another big Ju-88 build! The vac greenhouse will make a big impact visually... so much clear and thinner than plastic. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Looking great! I too have a Mistel conversion in the stash to get to. Looking forward to more! monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Been working on completing the tail wheel bay and trying to get near the greeny/ yellow anodised finish so started with a coat of aluminium followed by Tamiya XF71 cockpit green and then clear yellow followed by a wash and some dry brushing. Reasonably happy with the outcome and next I've decided to complete the tail section empennage and all so when I re-aquant and glue the nose and tail sections I will be able to get everything square with no nasty surprises later, well thats the theory!
