The left mounting bracket is from the kit with some modifications. The cord and the grip for the elevator trim were added. This special part of the bracket had to be lowered a bit. The rest of the levers was scratch built.

The oxygen regulator was mounted on a bracket on the original. I did this too which had the benefit that I could construct it as an unit paint it and cement it into the fuselage as a whole.

The flare muzzle was built from rod which I drilled out. Than I cut slits into it. Following this I shortened the slit end and cemented a strip of thin plastic around it. Just to fill the place I scratched a signal pistol.

Hi,
I'm lucky to meet Snokri alias Bernd in Berlin every year. He showed me these parts of a Heinkel, in which he succesfully tried to imitate the wood parts of the aircraft. He has no plans to make a compöete model but leave this parts as they are. He really is a wizzard in modelling.

Hi folks,

thank you very much for the nice words.

My other Volksjäger-project shows the photo of Michael.
The natural wood is here a hand-painted in a special technology.
