Sasha As Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 Continuing . I have three versions of the V-4 blueprints. And they are different from each other. From the photo came to a common denominator. In some places I have added trim and hatches. Drainage, a hole for the starter handle. Putty of course needed. And not only in places of joints, but there is a plastic defect, chips on the surface of the wings and fuselage, they are small, but quite noticeable. With the location of rivets drawings are not (I did not find anywhere). As a result, somewhere on the photo of the aircraft, somewhere on the location of the internal power set as much as it was possible to restore the approximate picture. On it and began to roll rivets. The fuselage is finished. With wings the situation is worse, there is a photo of the internal power set V-4, but the prototype, and it was different from the "serial". But what is there, is there. I have these photos and drawings of the E-4 to help me. In this case I can't pretend to accuracy, but I will try to pull the maximum from the available information. I have not met photos of this model with rolled rivets in the network, maybe I will be the first.))))).

LSP_Ray Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Wow, that looks great! I wouldn't worry too much about correct rivet/panel line detail, I think it will be tough for anyone to prove you wrong! Sasha As 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Painstaking work, but it's definitely paying off with the added surface detail Matt Sasha As 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha As Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 Primed the model. I'm happy with it. There is something to tweak, but not much. RadBaron, MikeMaben, Alain Gadbois and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Matt ,тhe aircraft will be in the three-colour camouflage of RLM 74,75,76. The four "production" machines were actually in these colours. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
