seiran01 4,412 Posted August 29, 2019 My god Tim does good work, as do you! His mistel trolly looks as good as the discontinued Cammett product (their ar377 mistel kit) if not even nicer. Im really looking forward to seeing this project get finished, thanks for posting pix so far. 1 Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sabre F-86 180 Posted August 31, 2019 All I can say is WOW. But I have to wonder about the stones a man would need to strap that contraption to his back and go off and do his duty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce_Crosby 2,277 Posted August 31, 2019 Urethane block is a material that can be cut, sawn, sanded, drilled, etc. Used by Architects and engineers for models and prototypes. There is NO plan to sell the dolly. 1 fab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce_Crosby 2,277 Posted September 7, 2019 And a bit more old rope! Some primer on the He-162 Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flick Blanks on the ejection ports under Me-262A Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flickr Making the hinge pin brackets for the struts. Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flickr That's them done then! Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flickr And on with the primer on the 262, I can already see some bits that need work. Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flickr A redesign of the Walter boosters, I found a pile of photos and rather than having you lot ripping the model apart, we decided to go ahead and correct them. So there! Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flickr Next job this evening is more smoothing with some Micro Mesh. So that's me gone.

Bruce_Crosby 2,277 Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) mWell, some more painting after I rubbed down with Micro Mesh. This time, some Mission Models RLM 76 on the undersides and fins of the he-162. Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flickr Then I mixed up some more RLM 76 with some RAF Underside Sky to get that weird colour seen on late model FW-190D-9's, sort of sky blue with not much blue in it! Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flickr Then after that had dried a bit I masked the whole nose and the outer clam shell door of the port engine and sprayed them with straight RLM76. Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flickr Untitled by Bruce Crosby, on Flickr Here's my reasoning: The whole nose was built as a separate section, fitted out with gun mounts, ejection chutes, ammo feeds etc then bolted to the front of the aircraft. To get any reasonable amount of explosives in there, they would have to remove it, yank out all the bits mentioned above then fill it up with the whoosh, bang, nasty stuff and bolt it back in place. Except this one has gone back on a different aircraft. They would also have stripped out the undercarriage at the same time, with the trolley launch that's just dead weight. Some strengthening at the front for the trolley strut underneath and the one on top for the He-162would be needed as well.

Richard502 2 Posted September 9, 2019 Excellent build, Sir! The struts do look rather flimsy. Anyone know/willing to guess how much G that Mistel could pull before disintegration? Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
