Harrison, your canopy work is showing how much your skills are improving. Good, steady hand with just the right amount of paint. Great work!

[B-17engineer]

Ok will not post pictures for 2 or 3 days since 1no RLM 70 to finish her off. 2All documents from this PC are being switched to the new MAC I got well we got... so it has to go to the store...

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice improvement H.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks David... as Dwight suggested to me in a PM I just stripped all of the paint. Re did all canopies against my will but hey.....I like em now.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Same to you Vic

How's the Ju-87 coming?

Things are a bit slow at the moment, to many people in the house, hope to get back to normal afteer tomorrow.
Have to say your Do 217 is coming along nicely, good work on the canopy's, just a touch of toothpick scraping and you should be fine.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks now I await paint and she should be done.

[B-17engineer]

Paints came in the mail!! This will be finish this weekend.

 

[Njaco]

Just popped in and checked the thread. This is looking great H! But like Terry said, take your time, don't rush. If it doesn't get done this weekend there is always next! Looks good!

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks very much Chris

While the company I ordered got my order incorrect I have time to make sure all was in order

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok will work with the airbrush as long as I have to to get it to spray the RLM 70 I bought........ then she'll need decals, canopy and DONE

The the Ju-87

Feel bad haven't posted pictures in a while...........lets pray the brush is cleaned for when I get home..

The nozzle is sitting in Iso....

Really wish I could take needle out and rub it down..... cause I KNOW that would work but, whatever...

 

[A4K]

Patience and concentration mate...you'll get there alright.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks.

She's done I'll let her dry then post pics.....hopefully it's done in time for my grandpa whose visiting tomorrow who is in love with all Dornier Bombers...

 

[B-17engineer]

For those still interested

Darker paint is still drying... plan on finishing her up tomorrow.

Hey, not too bad H, though the pics are a bit unsharp. Und by zer vay, vye does your Grandpa like der Dornier zo much heh? Iz it dat he iz Luftwaffe 'Alte hare' hein??

 

[B-17engineer]

Couldn't understand the last bit... but he likes Dornier because he just does I guess... he talks about them everytime I see him. He was Navy during Korean War and my other Grandpa (passed away) was 82nd Airborne in Korea.... I'm gonna start a thread on him though with pictures..

 

[Maximowitz]

Nice work H.

Now.... pop quiz. What aircraft did KG 2 convert to in 1943?

 

[B-17engineer]

Ju-188 *Hopes he's right*

I've actually been doing a bit of reading

Hey Paul, since my aircraft tire blew in October of 1943 maybe they switched because of it

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking good H! Looks like you got a bit of colour bleeding going on in the light green. Brush contamination?
