Heinkel He 177 'Grief' under construction

[stona]

I've been following this one Adrian,it's going nicely. Is your mechanic going to be a Luftwaffe man? They generally wore a black overall. They were known colloquially as "black men" as a result.

That's a great pose you are planning for him,I hope he doesn't do himself a mischief!

Cheers

Hi mate.

This is coming along nicely. They are a large kit. Their was one in a show i went to earlier this year which had a lot of work put into it. I can try pull some photos out if you like?

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Looking really good and again a great concept for a diorama. The mechanic is going to really add interest to what is going to be a superb model anyway.

Hi Trey,I do not have such problems with the kit. Although the panel lines on the wing do not line up

Adrian

Adrian no wonder, I just realized that yours is not the MPM production but the Revel do'nt know how I missed that:music_whistling:I was thinking to myself did I get the only bad He177 lol

[Guest]

Got a small update:

I painted the wings bronze green RLM 70 (accidentally left out some spots so it needs a second coat) and done up the mechanic but its far from perfect. Also done up a dog which the mechanic will be playing with in the diorama.

Cheers

Adrian

Hi Adrian

I've just caught up with this thread so I apologise.

i'm liking the build - the interior is looking really good and the quality looks to be extending to the exterior paintwork too.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the comments Paul :cheeseygrin:. Perhaps I should work more on the dog. I bet some other good scratch builder out there could do it more justice than me :emo2:

A small update. Masked the camo pattern.

First time I saw that last picture I though, that is going to take some sanding to get it smooth...... Very complex masking Adrian, look forward to seeing the result. I am no where brave enough to tackle something like this.

[Guest]
