1/48 Revell He111 H22 & V-1 Rocket

[AlanG]

Lost the plot with this today. I knocked it off my work bench and it has broken the wing joins on both sides Which will mean i have to re-glue and re-fill the wing seams. So instead of doing a half-assed job i'm going to shelve this and come back to it later. I need some building relief so i'll pick a kit i can build up virtually straight from the box.

[yak face]

Shame about that alan but as you say , probably best to come back to it another time , cheers tony

I will come back to it as it's a subject and scheme i like. Just need a break (no pun intended) from it. A Fw190 always gets me feeling better lol

[boatman]

HI AL no offence intened but I think you are wrong shelveing this lovely build after a small set back as if I get a problem on my tiger I keep at it until its fixed then you can say well I dint beat me as I wont be happy with myself if I shelve something as when you go back to the build the problem is still there so if it was me I have a little break from it (again no pun intened an the next day get stuck back into it an fix it an for me I would an am a happy bunny then

Thats a bummer mate, but I have to agree with Chris. Don't shelve a great build carry on, you know you want to :smiling3:

[AlanG]

I'll see how i feel next weekend (my weekend off). Might have calmed down by then

Besides. The wurger box is out of the stash now. Would be crazy of my to put it back now and miss out on my Fw190 fix lol

[boatman]

Yep no problem Chris. I'll do that

[Defiant911]

I shall watch your progress Alan.
interstingly it looks like the undercarriage areas are part of the wing on your model where as mine were part of the wing supports from which to fix the wings. the wings have quite a curve upwards so i had to g-clamp the under wings over night to make sure the glue cured properly.
unfortunately, the wing fitment started going bad from here on in.
on a plus not the Eduard masking for the glass is an absolute god send And fitted almost perfect to every glass panel.

[AlanG]

Have come to a stop on my Fw190 build due to me losing my painting masks for the national & number markings. No idea where they've gone. Will have to make up a new set.

Anyway in the meantime i've dragged this off the shelf of doom to try and get it somewhere nearer finished. boatman Told you i'd re-start it at some point lol

I've now re-attached the wing that broke off and have filler drying on them both. Almost forgot just how bad a fit they were (the whole kit really). The grand canyon would be proud of the depth. Also added the tailplane.

She's a really big bird.
