Agree with the detail in this kit.
Looks like it may Fall together nicely.

Cheers guys.

Not much time as usual, but sanding off the raised detail at moment. Looking at photos of OOB builds showed they were too prominent, despite some amazing paintwork.

Photos show sanded (port) and unsanded (stbd) fuselage halves, yet to be rescribed, and sprengkopf (warhead) dry fitted. Requires a little work yet, the spiky attachment hinges especially needing some modification.

You're doing good steady work there Evan.

Looking good Evan, but you're not fooling me - that's the nozzle on a tube of silicone bath sealant !

Knew I'd never get past you Terry!
(Cheers guys!)

Working on removing the starboard side detail.
Note: all unnecessary equipment was removed from Mistel- designated airframes (refurbished war weary bombers initially), including all navigation and radio equipment, so lower aerial has been removed.

The eagle-eyed will have noticed what I didn't under my midnight lighting: I glued the Sprengkopf off-centre...(doh!).
Since carefully removed, and cleaned up for regluing.

Getting there. Bilek (ex-Italeri) Ju 88A-4/A-10 to compare.
Final clean-ups to go, then rescribing.

Cheers guys. Couldn't live with that raised detail!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Agree with George.

Cheers Vic.
