adameliclem Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Beautiful work on the engine, Sophie. What paint did you use for the cylinder heads? The brightness of it looks just right. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leitch Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Have this to finish myself, stopped at the engine, needed some more practice with resin before I tackle that. Andy Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiouslysophie Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 It’s a bit of a bugger with all the tiny parts, hope you get yours done though! It does come up lovely in the end Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stash has suddenly grown quite a bit recently, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Really nice work Sophie, those Vallejo Metal colours are so nice to work with aren't they! Hopefully your build will help me get mine back on track as its nearly there but has been laughing at me from the shelf of doom for the last 18 months, nothing wrong with it but not sure how to handle the engine to foward bulkhead wiring, probably did'nt help opening up loads of extra panels as well. Will be watching along for some inspiration to get this one completed! Regards. Andy MikeC, Gazzas and JerseyChris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiouslysophie Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) I was struggling with the wiring too. I’m also struggling with doing the mottling. My cheap airbrush just won’t spray well enough to do it, and for now I just can’t afford a better one. I’ll post some more pics once I get a bit more done though. thats a lovely looking butcher bird though! Love the camo scheme.

monthebiff Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Forgot to ask in my previous post Sophie but are you using any of the other Eduard resin sets? The cockpit is fantastic as is the upper MG installation. Not a fan of the brass undercarriage though and would stick with the kit parts next time. Regards.

Andy I have the undercarriage set, wheel set, the cockpit, and the upper gun bay from Eduard. I also have most of their PE sets for this plane too. I got the aims wing gun bays, the quickboost tail wheel and fuel points. HGW belts, some brass barrels for the upper MG’s as the Eduard ones didn’t look as nice. I got the Eduard hatch set for the D9 as some of the hatches work for the F8, specifically the tail, radio, and fuselage hatch. I got a set of Eduards PE placards. The undercarriage does seem a little unnecessary really, and I hate how they cast the break line on to the strut! The aims gun bays were a bit fiddly to fit.

monthebiff Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Didn't realise aims offered the gun bays, you will have fun fitting the quick boost tail wheel set, but it does look nice when fitted. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiouslysophie Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Sorry, I meant aires! Got mixed up with Me-262 upgrades, lol. The tail wheel took a lot of sanding and thinning to get in! It does look lovely though. I scratch built the part visible through the tail hatch. I don’t plan on having it wide open, so didn’t go mad on the detail. D.B.
