johnie hopper Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Some progress.. I can try how the holder will look made from plastic (3D printed), but by the best I think it would be made from PE. I could share unfurled casing drawing to some producer. In the end it should look like this: Edited March 18, 2019 by johnie hopper fab, D.B. Andrus and thierry laurent 2 1
johnie hopper Posted March 22, 2019 Author Posted March 22, 2019 Here's my first attempt for Me 262 B1/U1 Nightfighter inner fuselage board. That's the logitudinally placed one with FuG16ZY, FuG120, FuG25 and FuG125 devices. The second board (placed transversaly) will be bigger stumper :-(. I have only few photos of its left side but none of the whole board or of the right side :-(. What more, there were placed FuG218 devices (Sender, Empfänger, Sichtgerät and may be others) for which I don't have exact dimensions :-( coogrfan, thierry laurent and D.B. Andrus 3

You can't do that to the one at the Smithsonian without fear of falling over the guard rail.
johnie hopper Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 Hello, based on available photos of Me 262 B1a/U1 fuselage interior I've tried to make model of FuG217(218) devices placed on fuselage partition. Could anyone help me to arrange it better or give an advice what more to add? Thank you for any help. Trak-Tor, thierry laurent, coogrfan and 2 others 5
johnie hopper Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) I've also prepared few K22 komponents from right wheel well and two basic versions of Gerätebank with an UV lamp for nightfighter version. Again, excuse some simplifications please. Edited March 28, 2019 by johnie hopper D.B. Andrus, LSP_Kevin, Kagemusha and 3 others 6
LSP_Ray Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 My first thought was she must have really been a tease, but that is just my warped mind. You are really doing some excellent detail work! Those oxygen bottles would look awesome! Shawn M and D.B. Andrus 1 1
Brandon Sutherland Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Lovely work! I got two Night fighters and one day fighter, all Trumpeter kits.
johnie hopper Posted April 24, 2019 Author Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Some progress and adjusting in Me-262 B1/U1 inner fuselage devices (few photos appeared - new to me), but still a lot of queries :-( Edited April 24, 2019 by johnie hopper Kagemusha 1
SCRATCH BUILDER Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 I will offer to print a few of these files for you if you like at no charge as prototypes, I also have the 004 on the drawing board in 1/24 that i am doing for a Yak-15 but we can scale that down.
Beaconroot Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Any news on these detail parts? I might be interested in some of them. Jim

johnie hopper Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 I can't say more than we are still waiting for test print results (maybe during few next days could some appear).
VintageEagle Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 I hope they turn out great. Especially the instrument panel and cockpit parts. As far as I know there are no resin detail sets out for the Revell Me 262 1/32 and I would be one of your first customers. I am only a bit concerned that the 3D printer resolution is not yet good enough for really crisp results, but progress is so fast in this area, I may hopefully be proven wrong.
