Ju88-4 Pro-Modeller 1/48

[Gern]

I hear ya Vaughan even @1/48 I'm steady running out of room,1/32 would really gobble up some area fast!I 've not made much progress,added the rudder pedals and some small details. Then worked on the seats ,especially tricky shaving the resin out of the radio seat head rest posts without breaking it! I'm still on the fence for what paint scheme and unit,thinking of going the 3./KG54 route and trying my hand at some squiggles

So you're opting for the easy one then! :lol

PS I reckon you've got the necessary talent to do this one - and it would surely look REAL good on your shelf.

Looking great all that resin. It is fun to work with isn't it.

Kresten thank you!

Vaughan thanks.tenax is a liquid type 'plastic welder' I like its wicking action and melting qualities.

Dave ,hope I can pull it off ,may have bitten off more than I can chew. Thanks for the vote of confidence all the same!

Ian thanks

,yes I quite enjoy the resin now that I'm getting used to working with it.

I spent most of the last 2 days concentrating on the office. I scratched in some hydraullic lines for the rudders

Also some wiring for the ip as the back of it is slightly visible thru the finished canopy assembly

The office assembly is fini and ready to mate up to the fuse

Some geussmology on the actual wire routing,not finding any good ref pics of the actual from this angle

I did take some geusses with color and location of gear /instruments but tried to keep it as authentic as possible.

That office looks amazing mate, top rate job. All the wiring helps to make it look that much better. Keep this up for the rest and it will be stunning.

Having neared completion of the Revell 1:72 scale Junkers and popping over to see this one I am blown away by the amazing work your doing on this. The office looks fantastic, those resin kits are something else. I feel very inspired by seeing this and that paint scheme is just going to look incredible, fantastic work :bow:

[Guest]

The office is outstanding Trey you have set the bar high on this one.

Mark,many thanks so glad to hear it has inspired you ! I was amazed at the detail you got on your office with 1/72 and the canopy masking came out so clean !

Ole you're right I do need help and took quite a lie down after it was done ,thanks for the kind words Buddy!

Vaughan thank you kindly ,always trying to challenge myself to 'up it' a bit with each build.

I've got the fuse and office mated up,previous Ju88 Dragon kits gave me a fit in this area this one seems better,is that possible?

The wing tips always ate my lunch until a fellow member told me to glue the tips to the wing halves then join the assemblies. Much better fit !

Even the nacelles seem to fit better on this kit than other Dragon 88's,wierd

Wings went on with no trouble and set the dihedral,just waiting for it to set up and on to the canopy.

While waiting I got out my old monocote iron and 'weighted 'the tires,the iron has a non stick finish so it worked real well.

Fantastic stuff Trey, the cockpit is amazing.

[Guest]

This build is coming along really well mate. Very impressed with the detail.

[Guest]

Joe ,Kresten thank you kindly!Gondola is added and what at first looked like an easy step wound up taking a long time to finish in properly. There was a good size gap on the port side and required several test fits to get right.

[Vaughan]

Looks like there's some serious work going on there Trey. Keep the good work up.

[Guest]

Vaughan thanks. Please excuse the pic quality getting used to a new camera.I've spent days redoing the rear facing guns and the ammo belts and spent cartridge chutes trying to get it right,this is it I'm calling it close enough!

[Vaughan]

Trey that's some amazing work what more can I say Fantastic!
