No actually. Oh, I think I just realized you're making this one with the engine exposed and that's why you're cutting the nose off. Sorry, a little slow today!

 

[Wurger]

Oh boy..oh boy..might I assist you in the surgery Herr Doctor? Please tell I can...please.....

 

[A4K]

Please do my friend! Your advice/ ideas would be most welcome, especially when I start cutting and hollowing the resin tail...

 

[Wurger]

Nice work Evan!

 

[A4K]

Thanks, and sorry guys...Messerschmitt day turned into 'shopping with the fiancée' day, and been crook since then (coincidence...? )
Been studying Dora-9 details in between headaches, hope to get back into the builds themselves ASAP.

 

[A4K]

G'day guys!

No new progress as available time has gone into the 262 mistel plug at moment.
Away for weekend, but plan to finish plug and continue with Braunen 4 on Monday...

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking forward to it Evan.

Think this is the same machine from a different angle Even, the slats of a fence on the left are the same. It's captioned as II./JG 26 Northern Germany, 1945.

The place is called Hustedt, round 35 km away from me. Hustedt was on of many temporary airfields used by the JG 26 on their way to Flensburg

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Have a good weekend Even.

Thanks also Thomas, wish I was there and able to roam around checking these places out even though they would be much changed over the years. But just to be able to stand on the spot and imagine, that would be enough.

 

[A4K]

G'day and cheers guys!

Got back late yesterday but started cutting out some of the open or missing panels on Braunen 4.

Btw Vic, checked out Hustedt and Celle on Google Earth at the start of this project, and there are still cut outs in the woods as per the photos, almost as if nothing has changed. Makes me wonder if there are still Fw 190 components in the area..?
