This is going to be oob with the exception of the seat belts. the office is painted rlm 02 and semi black.drybrushed with flat aluminum and weathered with a pastel wash. More pics coming! enjoy!

Thanks TRM! Join us!

Thanks Phil! It's painted dude only the seatbelts are PE.

Thanks chrisb! Yes sir she is 1/48.

Thanks Dicky! And thanks again chrisb for the save, Great photo, sorry dicky forgot to post a box shot. If you think the singe seat is weird, wait to you see the trainer. I'll post a box shot unless someone has a photo of one. hint hint

Thanks chris!

Hey guys, slow going right now but I got the fuselage together and the wings on! Had a little bit of a problem with right side wing, needed a little bit of sanding to tighten the wingroot. With the snow coming in and the wife gone for the day will hopefully have a good build day!



Here's a box shot of what the trainer looks like.

WE GOT PAINT! The top cover is RLM 81 Brown-violet and RLM 82 Dark Green. The underside is RLM 84 Grey-Blue.

One reason to hate splitter scheme camo.


And the reason to love it!



More to come!

[modelfreak72]

Hey Dicky, you sir are so right about the Germans, another example of what were they thinking is the FW 189. It looks like a greenhouse with wings! You gotta love Tamiya maybe one small opp's then the rest falls into place!

[panzerman75.]

Hey pete looks great nice paint job so when i come up there you think it will be done or what

[Deleted]

Hey,Pete...Nice work on the paint work....looks the business,just one question..did you have to load the nose at all,to stop its tail dragging?

[modelfreak72]

Hey chris, yes sir, and tamiya provides the ballast so no guess work!

[Deleted]

;D ;D..thats thoughtful of them.

[modelfreak72]

Hey phil yes it should be done by the time you come up. Bring your gun up with you mine is still giving me grief especially with the fine line tip.

Hey chrisb, It saved my from stealing the lead sinkers from the tackle box!

[panzerman75.]

Thanks Chris! The decals were super thin but easy to work.Going to try and get the panel lines today,Depends on how long the wifey wants to keep me working! ;D
