LSP_K2 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I have more references, Shawn, should you need them (though it looks like you really don't). Hartmann52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The book above would probably be of no help for what you're attempting, but it's still awesome. I do have both Zerstörer volumes of the Classic Publications Luftwaffe Colors series too, if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great book K2, I have one and it does help with the G-4 a bit as the air frame is about the same. I got this book when I was doing my Revell G-4 and it helped a lot. Not sure if you know it but that book is going for over $300 on Amazon, I paid $24 for mine on ebay a few years ago.

dennismcc Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 You are making this look ever so easy, though I bet that's more the result of good prep work. Cheers Dennis Shawn M and Bill_S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Oh yes, some of the Classic books seem to fetch some outrageous asking prices. I've had the Mistel book on my list for ages now, but there's no way I'd even consider the ridiculous prices asked for that. I would eventually like to have all four Me 262 volumes though, and I can usually find those at decent prices. Shawn M and Daniel460 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Kev, I would LOVE to spend some time what that book, its one Im missing in my collection. For the same reason Dan noted to boot! Im trucking on this weekend, gotten almost a whole week of bench time in! Lower cowlings on, again they fit like a glove! A little proud at the the aft end where the outlet of the oil coolers are, but an easy fix! After fixing that, it was time to test fit the oil coolers, so far this is the first part I've found that had some resin bubbles in them requiring a fix. To me thats SUPER impressive. Well done John! Again, look at this fit! Its like an IM conversion vs. resin. I dont think Im going to add the PE cooler flaps. Im working on the exhaust panel mods now that I've finished the final fit test of the upper/lower wings halves and gear inserts.

Shawn M Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) wanted to add two build tips for those out there that have this conversion in the stash. Im you add support strips to the inside of the magneto bulge/wing joint they will interfere with the top of the firewall/landing gear bulkhead. Unless you plan to do an exposed engine/open cowls, save yourself some time and trim the top of the firewall/bulkhead like this: This way you dont have to go back and tweak and shave to clear the supports you added. For the oil coolers. The cast and flashed opening in the oil cooler cover is large, in my opinion way bigger then needed although this area is baaaaarely visible seen here opened up. That is UNLESS you open the nice PE cooler duct door, then you see the gaping maw into the cowling! The Oilcooler cores sit at the very front of the opening. If you cut carefully you can keep the remaining "flash" to fill the void and giving you a roof to the duct that seals it off from the rest of the empty cowling. The area behind the oil cooler come flashed over and could be saved if opening the oil cooler duct.
