Pastor John Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone and thanks for all the best wishes during the regeneration of this 'shelf of display model doom' lol. At times I felt more like a glass bottle ship modeller but it is done now and a big thank you to Andy for his own build which helped inspire me and also to David E Brown whose brains I picked on numerous occasions. Thanks also to the great publication Captured Eagles Vol 1 which contains the clearest Mistel 3 / Ju 88 G-10 photos I have ever seen. Paints were Mr Paint range - with their RLM 76 diluted with 50% white to achieve a late war cobalt reduced RLM 76. Conversion / decals - my AIMS set Other AIMS products - Ju 88 A-1 Essential PE, Tail wheel Bay PE, Main Gear bay test shot PE, Ju 88 External Manufacturing Plates decals Non AIMS products - HGW Ju 88 seat belts Problems during build - Bad back, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, Covid 19 and pneumonia - Oh sorry you mean with the build..... things needing filler only and if using what Mr Paint call an undocumented 'RLM 76 Grunblau' again I would give it a monotone RLM 02 undercoat to add strength / depth to this very weak colour regardless of what it truly is called or was in real life. During the build I purchased the Flugzug for the Mistel 2 from Luftachieve and saw the cable for the explosive charge on the back support rod was in a pale colour. When I did my Mistel 2 I had just said ok it must be yellow but this time I asked D.E Brown and he supplied me with the colour chart for the different voltages the Luftwaffe used. All I needed then was to see in the Flugzug that the fuse at the base and top of the rod was 24 volts and I had my answer - 'Violet'. If you have any questions I will do what I can to help. thanks again and best wishes, John Edited January 27, 2022 by Pastor John Lud13, chrish, Landrotten Highlander and 19 others 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Absolutely SUPERB news Pastor John. I'm defo in for one of them. Sorry to the OP for going off topic. Your build is still superb Pastor John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Just brilliant John, love your attention to detail and you have seriously worked wonders with a kit you had already built with no paint and to do what you have done with the interior stuff is amazing! Just needs a couple of US soldiers and maybe a camera man to finish things off as per the wonderful Captured Eagles Vol.1 you mentioned you treated yourself to recently, it is one of my favourite books in my collection inspiring so many bud ideas.

Greif8 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 She's a real beauty John! You did a fantastic job capturing the look of aircraft - or missile as it were. Very nice work on the base as well, your ground work looks spot on. More importantly, I hope that your are well on the mend from your health issues and will be 100% in the near future.
