chrish Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Construction continues, I ran into a mess of ejector pin marks to deal with in the flight deck area, not a good thing with a greenhouse flight deck. Filling and sanding progresses, while the Tamiya fine filler is drying between episodes I'm working on the resin bits. thanks for looking mozart, Gazzas, Landrotten Highlander and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Looks like a great idea but, no...I mean yes I have one but I use it on my teeth...It just wouldn't taste right after having Tamiya filler on it. I do have whacks n whacks of sanding sticks though of all different sizes and shapes (made them myself from automotive body shop supply sanding discs) here's a kind of before/after thing; I didn't do behind the bomb bay, doubt much will be seen in there?

chrish Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) A bit more progress on the model, mostly painting stuff but, some assembly; annnnd because I told them I would mention their product...(I had a few emails with them) Mission Models paint was initially used on the bombs but because it washed off during the decal application I had to repaint the bombs with Vallejo...seriously! the decal water washed off the paint! I found ref's indicating the bomb bay and internals were RLM 02 but then saw pics that showed the bomb racks were painted RLM 66. I had a bit of confusion until I decided to paint the racks RLM 02 then RLM 66 overtop and weather back to the RLM 02 too look like the bomb racks had been repainted. A comparison of the kit ammunition and the resin, the kit one looks a little small? I've got new examples on the way and some spares from the Ju-88 which for some reason are much better, even the defensive guns from the 88 kits are much better..oddly. added the radio and some wiring. wire from phone line...anybody remember when phones had wires?

BradG Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 The weapons are horrible, I measured them up when I did a review of the kit for a model mag and they scale out to 1/48. How Revell made that mistake I don't know. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How Revell made that mistake I don't know. Well I'm glad to know I'm not high on glue fumes, maybe Revell was? Some gluing, a major step for me, done today Thanks for looking Edited July 25, 2020 by chrish LSP_Kevin, mywifehatesmodels, MikeMaben and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Found myself losing some bits I thought I had stashed away safely...so safely even I cant find them. Drat! So with some spare time and no real need to hurry ahead I decided the fuselage of the 111 although nice, could use some rivets. I decided to punch some rivet marks with an RB riveter.
