Might I suggest Candy Apple Red with wide black racing stripes finely outlined in white? Nothing to extravagant, mind you. I will watch fer sure! Gaz Nice and may I suggest a matching camel color theme cockpit. And remember to accessorize MARU5137 and mustang1989 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mustang1989 1,899 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Thanks fellas. Camel color theme........... The seat and seat belts have taken me longer than I have wanted but I've got it to a point that I think I can show some progress now. I have to pick out some aluminum details on the seat belts with a toothpick but here's a pick just to show some progress anyways. I still have the armrests to go on this bad boy so I aint finished with the construction of the seat yet. Gazzas, D.B. Andrus, Rick Griewski and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites
mustang1989 1,899 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Pilots seat is done and installed. I'll be working on the back wall where the battery and other details are and working my way forward after I take care of the nose gear bay on the bottom side of this whole assembly. Here's the progress as of this morning though: ( The seat belts are actually dirtier than they look in the picture-here they look practically brand new....wow) Gazzas, LSP_K2, D.B.

mustang1989 1,899 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Ok gang I've got some pics I think are worth sharing so you guys know I'm still building an aircraft. lol . I decided to do before and after photos because just looking at it the cockpit at first doesn't really look like I've mad a lot of progress. There are a few items more however and yes....................it's been tedious. This is where I left off: and this is where I'm at now: LSP_Kevin, Gazzas, MARU5137 and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 25,023 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Looks great. You're aware that Fly also does the Arado in 1:32 scale? mustang1989 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes sirree I know about that kit. I think that there's another one available too but the manufacturer escapes me at the moment. There's no way I could build something like that because of my lack of display cases that big. lol! LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mustang1989 1,899 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 I managed to finish the cockpit tub and am now working on the side panels. After that I'll be working on the glass enclosure, which is a real PIA on this kit. Any ways, here's the completed tub: Gazzas, MARU5137, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

mustang1989 1,899 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Thanks fellas! Work has been extremely tumultuous and busy these days so it's been hard to get to the bench much less post progress. Will be posting some more on this build.

Joe, the only other one I know would be MDC's Ar 234. A full resin kit, designed by artist Radu Brinzan. Having seen both kits I tend to say Radu's is the better one, imho. I have got my hands on it, so, if you would be interested in details, you know where to find me! mustang1989 1 Link to post Share on other sites
