Great interior pics - should be very useful.

Well first the upside, thanks to A4K I have figured out how to deal with the wheel bay opening and interior.

Now the down side, there's a nasty rumour going around that it's supposed to be sunny this weekend and the war Dept. has me penciled in for some serious yard work. Me thinks my days of hibernating in the basement are drawing to a close !

 

[A4K]

Great work mate, and hope the War Dept. allow you some leave in between for R&R!

 

[Capt. Vick]

No man don't stop now! I was just getting into this! Damn!

 

[Wayne Little]

The War department hey......that's bad news....some serious strategies are needed...

Declare the basement as an Independent State, and Neutral. Therefore, no involvement in War, and not under the control of The War Department !!

Looking very good.

War Dept appeased, mostly due to the latest whack load of rain ! Wings are glued up but not yet attached. I have been working on cutting out the raised lines and laying down rivet marks. I must say the plastic is terrible for cutting, very hard and very brittle and scribing lines is probably my least liked task building models but it's usually worth the results, had lots of screw ups so lots of filling and sanding. I don't know if I'll go nuts with the riveter, so far I think I might just do around the lines I have cut out. So far I'm pretty pleased with how it's coming along.

...and rightly so - great work mate!

Btw, found by chance on the net yesterday that Italeri did a Ju 86G aswell, back in the days they were still called 'Italaerei'.

 

[Wurger]

Not too bad at all.

 

[Airframes]

Looking good, and nice work so far.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice work so far.

 

[Capt. Vick]

What a weird wing plan...

 

[woljags]

yes they don't look like a twin do they

Got to work on the engine nacelles today, cut out the vents or exhaust ports, not really sure what they are but they look like some sort of wire screening. I used some mesh from a transmission filter to fill in the spots but I think it's too fine so I'm looking for something a little coarser. I'm afraid when I paint the mesh will just load with paint and not look like mesh. From what I can see so far exhaust and engine heat from the radiators was vented out of these.

 

[A4K]

Interesting mate, I'll see if I've got any pics of this area.

Good stuff, and a great job so far, especially considering the relatively rare amount of reference material, compared to more 'popular' aircraft. Looking forward to the next stages.
