Wackyracer Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Finally got around to some more modelling. Added a dark green wash/filter to the sidewalls as per Vincent's note and subsequent viewing of photos. Added the pe rudder peddles and instrument panel. Instrument had a matt vanish coat over it, then the dials pe was stuck with a glass coat. Added some wires to the pit Decision time... should I add the belts or given this will be a straight off the production line representation leave them out? Test fitted the canopy, all good. Adding the scratch built parts to the open engine/fuel/undercarriage area and of course a cheeky little test with the wheels on and loaded onto the gondola.

Shiba Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi, Wackyracer Very nice going here ! This yellow 5 is one of rare pic of A-1 and one of my favorite scheme of He 162 only difference from external you can tell A-1 and A-2 is size and location of ejection ports because A-1 MK 108 A-2 MG151, I hope it's help you and not too late Regards, Matsu. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using this as an idea. The actual plane will be a bare metal and wood version with putty. Edited September 1, 2019 by Wackyracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited yesterday at 03:23 AM by Wackyracer Some of reference said this Black 27 (WN.r 300027) is A-2 but actually A-1, Just in case, Regard, Matsu.

Wackyracer Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thanks Shiba. I'm not basing my build on any specific aircraft, its merely a dio of bare metal, putty, wood and rolling stock. Shiba, Out2gtcha and stusbke 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lothar Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 That's going to be a fantastic looking dio once finished - looks terrific already! Lothar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Can I just insert a pet moan? While it's too late on this build, it may help on another. When making up wiring looms, do NOT twist the wires into a pseudo braid. Briefly try to imagine what a nightmare it would be to trace and repair a broken connection if they really were twisted together. Instead, lay your wiring lengths straight, and bind them with tape or wire loop ties, just as on the real thing. It'll look far more realistic Wackyracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
