Panzerwomble Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Hans Kammler just called .............., he's wanting to know the progress on this ! dutik and Derek B 2
dutik Posted April 12, 2021 Author Posted April 12, 2021 Our rocket scientists coming to life: Still in need of some paint, but you might get the idea. Regards - dutik Landrotten Highlander, Panzerwomble, BradG and 2 others 5
dutik Posted April 18, 2021 Author Posted April 18, 2021 Perseverance... I hate painting trousers. The upright running fabric folds make it very challenging to paint lights and shadows. Not really my cup of tea... Regards - dutik blackbetty, RLWP, Gazzas and 4 others 7
dutik Posted April 22, 2021 Author Posted April 22, 2021 Our scientists opted for alignment pins and smoothing of the joints with putty. We did so: Fit is of a typical short-run kit, so there some putty had to be applied here and there along the wing and tail joints. One wing also needed a styrene strip to cover the gap. The tail is mixed media, with a resin part at the base. Superglue is a bit tricky if you have to carefully align a part, thats why I added the two pins here. Now it is drop-fit Regards - dutik KiwiZac, 109, blackbetty and 8 others 11
Panzerwomble Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Both 1:1 and 1:32 short run ! KiwiZac, dutik, Derek B and 1 other 2 2
themongoose Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 Most entertaining and a sweet looking build Derek B and dutik 2
dutik Posted April 26, 2021 Author Posted April 26, 2021 Our scientists worked overtime and made rudder and tailplanes fit: Time now to finish the cockpit Regards - dutik Paul in Napier, Alain Gadbois, Panzerwomble and 11 others 14
Derek B Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 it's a fine looking thing Dutik - it should look pretty awesome when completed! Derek
dutik Posted April 27, 2021 Author Posted April 27, 2021 Because our rocket scientists met the shedule they were commended with cloth stamps: Socks, shoes and a dress. Our she-scientist is still hesitant what pattern to choose. Remember, the Natter Project was run by the SS, so a nice pea pattern might fit her dress well But we think that a plane tree pattern would fit best - hey, we are building a plane. Correct? Correct! Well... Regards - dutik Derek B, Gazzas, BradG and 5 others 8
dutik Posted May 5, 2021 Author Posted May 5, 2021 No updates so far. Had a family reunion after a covid-related long, long hiatus. Travel bans and such. Saw my mother and my siblings for the first time after over a year... Sorry, mates. - dutik Derek B, Ayovan, Dpgsbody55 and 1 other 4
Alain Gadbois Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Coming along nicely, and the figures are very well done! Alain
