Nice work Muller!! You guys amaze me with your models.

You ought to grab one and join in! Just as soon as Silly Season is over!

Thanks fellas! I used Wayne's recipe for RLM02 on the undercarraige. I got the engine cowling painted and put it together last night, plus some of the checker decals on. Will post pics later.

I got outbid on my PE seatbelts on ebay earlier, but I found a better set on luckymodel.com for less money, plus free postage!

looks great Muller, these any good for brake lines ?

They're perfect Karl! Thanks! Now i have to figure out how to scratchbuild them

Some pics of the cowling. I screwed up putting the decals on, but I think I saved it. Bit more touching up to do with a fine brush!

With engine and prop dry fitted.

Looks great M, especially as decals over large curves are a pain! For the brake lines, use either stretched sprue, or, if you can get it fine enough, copper wire or fuse wire. Actually, in 1/48th, when painted, 'invisible thread' would look OK, and should glue easily and conform to where you want it.

 

[Njaco]

Nice job!! I wouldn't even attempt that myself.

 

[Wayne Little]

Good work on the cowling

 

[Wurger]

Echo Wayne's post.

 

[muller]

Thanks fellas

Cheers Terry, will try it with some stretched sprue, any idea how to do this bit of the line?

Thanks again Karl, those photo's are great!

 

[Wurger]

Use a thin copper wire.

 

[muller]

I'll give it a try Wojtek

She's starting to come together. I left the seat out till I get the PE seatbelts.

Good work, mate!

 

[Airframes]

If you decide to use sprue, do the bend (cold) around a paint brush shank or dowel of suitable size, making a complete circle, then cut as required. But it's much easier to use copper wire!

Taking shape quickly M!
