FERTIG!This was a truly enjoyable build with plenty of engineering challenges and build drama. Here is recap of the build. Hasegawa's 1/32 FW190A8 modified as Rudi Riedl's FW190A8 Mistel 2. 6./KG200 Tirstrup, Denmark, February 1945. Eduard photo etch for interior, HGW textile belts, EagleParts prop/spinner and CMK 600l Luftwaffe drop tank were added. EZ Line for aerial with white glue blobs painted white for resistors. Refering to Forsyth's book Mistel - German Composite Aircraft and Operations I scratch built the Ju88 throttle controls and fuel switch on port inside panel. While the center IP got Ju88 RPM/Oil Pressure Gauges and Auto Pilot control. Ignition wires to the BMW801 have been added albeit almost impossible to see but I know they are there. Decals came from the AIMS Mistel 2 sheet and some spare EagleCal decals. The 6./KG200 Mistel unit badge "Staffelwappen" on cowling as created via ink-jet printer and decal paper. Ju88G1 or G6 Mistel 2 is currently on bench and will get plenty of love this summer. Revell's Ju88A-1 is the donor kit using AIMS Mistel 2 conversion. The scratch built display stand utilizes the same mount points which will be on the Ju88. This will also serve as cradle when not displaying on the Ju88. A little slow getting this posted. Between wrapping up this build for a local IPMS event, prepping veggie garden, kids, work and a weekend get-away my time has been limited (or somewhat mis-managed). Finally, I want to thank all those who posted positive comments, inquires and suggestions. Always much appreciated, thank you.          IPMS Northern Virginia Model Classic 2015

Nice work on this one, the stand is perfect to keep it out of harm's way when not on the Ju! And congrats on the silver as well.

Beautiful work Rick, and congrats on the 2nd place. Makes me wonder what took first to knock this beauty out of top spot! Considering the beautiful workmanship on the "son", I can hardly wait to see what the "father" turns out like!!!  Cheers, Sam  |
