Beautiful job Boats!! Watch out for those flaps or ailerons or whatever they're called on a Junkers. I made that kit a few years ago and they were difficult. A very delicate connection with not much area for the glue to hold onto. I bet I've glued them back on 10 times in the 4 years since I built it!
 
Oh boy.. a pink Ju Tante.... :lol: But looking very nice. :thumbright:

Looking good Boats, but what book/paper are you assembling the engines on that has plane stats in German written on it? Revell's German instruction sheet?

Ahoy Matt
Yep its the Revell instruction sheet it is bylingual German and english like most of their kits the main instruction is in symbols.

Same here on the two I've done.
Great job on a good kit, I loved my first enough, (military version that I changed into a Lufthansa), that I had to get this kit when it came out. The red scheme is difficult but not impossible, and with your skill, I can't wait for the finish!

I was looking at that as well and wondering how it was done. How about you spill the beans Boats.

BTW, brilliant build.

Ahoy Vic and Jayl

Thank you for your reply okay here is the straight dope before I stareted to mask the the plane I sprayed on 5 coats of gloss coat until it shines let dry to touch and mask the gloss will make the masking tape stick better then the matt surface if dont and go a head and mask the paint will creep under thge corragated surfaces. I should have this behemoth done today. Tomorrow thye big Lancaster build rubbing hands rubbing hands thanks guys.

Boats
 
Really beaut job Boats. Masking on that corrugated surface is like trying to find a good looking Hippocroccofrog!
I'll get the Lanc stuff sorted and sent by weekend - still need your e-mail address though, if you can send it by PM please.
 
Fantastic work !!! Especially on the paint. People say to me " wouldn't you get bored if you didn't have somewhere to go every morning ?" NOT a chance !!
