Post by: modellius on November 12, 2013, 09:14:51 PM

Best introduce of a modeler is to show his work, so I present to You my latest work, it's still WIP.

From the box it's possible to make both versions, A and B. The box and the content :

At the first stage I riveted the model and cut out all moving surfaces :

Well, here comes the cockpit. The manufacturer give it i resin and photo-etched combination but it's all wrong, and to be honest when I looked up in the documentations that I have it's not to detailed up too....So I had to scratch

Very interesting subject, congratulation :) Do you have all decals to complete machine from archive image?

I'm glad you like it, no I don't have decals, I will paint the markings. Moving surfaces which are made from fabric are very poor on the model, so I had no other option except to made by myself. For the first I made the rudder, it's made of styrene and a so called " Japan Paper " RC modelers used this material for wings on the gliders in the early days.

The cockpit is finished, I didn't payed too much attention to it , very little will be visible after the two half of the fuselage is glued together.Some detailing and weathering of the visible areas of the cockpit will be done in the late stages of building....

Well, the wheel bay is totally wrong, no details what so ever and apsolutely don't doesn't fit, so I have to scratch it.

Well, this took some time, first I had to find out which hose goes where and then to make the " plan and order " of building the hydraulic system in the wheel wells, had to figure out where to start.....

The hydraulic system in the wheel wells :

Well to be honest the landing gear follows the quality of the model so I had to scratch it as well. The base is Evergreen styren :

The hydraulic on the landing gear have an leather protection which I also had to made. The first step was to put a few rounds of copper wire around the landing gear which will provide me the wrinkle :

Then I crease some chocolate paper to have better texture look, cut it on wanted sized and then glued over the wires. The clamps " holding " the leather on place are made from Tamiya masking tape :

All the moving/canvas surfaces are almost done, it's about 90% done, it just needs a little fine tuning.....
