Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

Great work Rick, your time off will give me a chance to get to Specsavers for stronger glasses to see your tiny models in all their glory.

Andy.

[Mini Me]

Thanks Scottie......getting closer anyway.

[Mini Me]

Now that's funny Andy.....I'm already using trifocals plus my 2.5 power visor! There's no more room to hang anything else on me noggin!!:tongue-out2:

[Mini Me]

Well I finally got the Louvercals on and they layed down great......the film between them all but disappeared when I hit 'em with the Micro Sol. should look the biz once I get this painted. Also got the roof rack steps scratched and in place on both sides. I forgot to mention in my last update that I located and installed a couple of grab handles on each side above the rear quarter windows....

Sweet! Nice extra details, especially the tiny treadplate steps.

[Mini Me]

Thanks Ernie, getting closer to the finish line on this little beast......about half a dozen items left to address and it will be paint time.

[Tim Marlow]

You’ve significantly lifted that above the norm Rick. She will look really good under the paint….

Looking forward to seeing the paint on Rick, you've done a fantastic job on this one

[Mini Me]

Thanks Tim and Mick, I'm hoping to finish up on this pretty soon. Still trying to locate some of the components I need to get it done. Gonna start final fitting the window glass, then I can hang the wipers and the side mirror/spotlight assembly, mud flaps, clearance markers and if I can find 'em.....some pioneer tools. Then comes the paint! :thumb2: Glad you guys are liking it so far.

[Mini Me]

At last , the end is near.........just have to locate the front and rear axels and this baby is ready for paint. First step will be to shoot all the interior and then it will be the outside after much masking and who knows what to keep the top coat from interfering with what's on the inside. Then clear coat then decals then flat coat then final assembly.........nightmare of a little beast is what it is! Here is where it's at presently.

[Andy T]

That's looking fabulous Rick.

Like you say, tricky to mask up though. Your earlier mention of stuffing foam inside is probably what I'd try.

[Mini Me]

Thanks Andy, I believe you are right about that.....I have just the small piece that will do the job, so gonna give it a try when the time comes.

Much Obliged Steve, glad you like it. :thumb2:
