This thang still ain't finished Bro??? Okay, I will say that is some very fine scratchy you are doing here and will bring this to a new level. The exhaust work turned out great too. Keep it coming my friend...

I suppose there's no help for me....I have had this affliction since my early "Teen" years. :face-with-head-bandage: :money-face:

Now honestly Rick, in your early 'Teen' years, there was no such thing as plastic model kits!!!...

Who said anything about plastic..... I was talking about adding the small detail rocks to the big rocks to make 'em look better!!

Looking better and better Rick

Reminds me of a couple of 'friends' who I was attracted to courtesy of beer goggles! (I was young then and easily persuaded .....)

Yeah Smitty, and the fact that they have 3 engines adds to the weirdness as well! I just wish that I had a better base model to start with though. This thing is really primitive compared to what's available in todays kits.

Right, and just as FUGLY!

Oh, I don’t know, if you light them up right they don’t look too bad at all …

These are all in May 1940, when a rather large number of Ju 52s got shot down or destroyed on the ground in the Netherlands. The one on the beach may well have fallen victim to HNLMS Van Galen, which happened to sail by on the way to help defend Rotterdam when they spotted German planes on the beach. Destroyer vs. grounded planes … no real contest

Nice work Rick, loving the extra details :smiling4:

Rick,

Very sorry. Completely missed the start of this! That has turned out beautifully so far. Very well done indeed!!

Very nice work, Rick but I'm still a bit shocked about your claimed experience in octopuses and enemas...:surprised::rolling::tongue-out3:

Love the pics.Jakko, and thanks for all the comments guys. I checked with Matron and she gave me permission to use the Octopus analogy, as it is the closest way to describe my exploits with said exhaust tentacles Andrea. :thumb2:

Been awhile since my last update.......not much to report. There is so much wrong with this kit I keep going backwards. I found great big lips on all three engine cowls and got those filled and sanded, along with all the joints on the #2 engine exhaust. Finished the upper cargo door and test fitted. lower door still needs installed before exterior paint, shot the white interior and painted up the stretches and stacked them to check fit for final install.

Rick,
Coming together nicely. Scratch work looks very tidy
