[Wayne Little]

Sounds like a good plan Bill.

Bill please see my recent post there...

GB-38

 

[Crimea_River]

Sure, go for it!

Thanks Wurger, but I'm not trying to be really historically accurate down to the dust on the tyres, but maybe more to the feel of captured, examined and abandoned. This photo also shows the top cover behind the engine removed and guts showing. If this kit had all that inside I think I would depict that as well. I have the time so why not ay?

 

[Wurger]

Grasped. That's a good idea.

 

[N4521U]

Like the worst case with what I've got. I thought I had some 1/48th guns laying around, but not.
Thanks for understanding.

Good to have you back bill

 

[N4521U]

Good to be back.

Beginning the hand made empty gun bay.
Used a pointed scalpel to cut the doors off the wing top surface.
PVC sheet to make the walls and zurk fitting frames. Will be making the
dividers next, gun and belt spaces. Quite fiddley.

Good work Bill. I thought I had spare guns and ammo runs from the Academy kit, but it looks like I've either used them, or dumped them.

 

[Crimea_River]

Fiddly but nice.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far Bill!

You DUMP things??????

 

[Airframes]

Not normally, but sometimes things get thrown out accidentally, and in this case, it was probably during a house move.

[N4521U]

Nah, I think the Luft took them out to a range to see how they worked!
Along with the belts and mounts perhaps.

No worries Bill, they're here if you change your mind.
