Good evening my fellow modelers:
Here's the weekend update of the work performed during this week.
I´d already almost finished both the tiny guys that will live inside this kite cabin (and agreed to behave themselves, btw). Having that theme already with advanced work, it was decided that it was time to finish both the clear parts and positioning the crew in place........
This is how the cabin looked before beginning with the works:
Then here are some images of how it evolved along the week:
Here is the first time that both guys were presented inside the cabin. This in order to confirm that the will fit in a more real posture....
Meet Hans the WWII headless pilot testing the kite....
Here is how the glued crew looked like before continuing with the rest of the cabin....
Then it was time to locate the finished head of the bordfunker....
Then it was time to complete positioning the rest of the geräts in place.....
The idea was to locate the crew seated with a look alike sense that the were performing some activity.....
Then it was time to place the head of the pilot in place (sorry about the fuzzy image)...
In order to avoid the light can be appreciated from the outside, some dark panels were located in the sills and on the rest of the structure
And finally this is how the closed cabin can be seen (
without having glued the clear parts to the fuselage).
This bonding works will be performed during this week after detailing a little more the cabin with the seatbelts, more cables, the Revi gunsight and several details that I guess that will be appreciated know that the clear parts are clean enough in order to guarantee that this works will be fully visible.....
Well beside detailing the cabin and the exterior details (such as the antennas and the gas tanks), it's also time to begin designing and working with the transparent display base in order to present this kite in its element......
Any ideas of how to display this kite guys?
Have an incredible week my friends........
