Revell Ar 555 Complete page 5

Thanks for the comments guys. Johnny, neither do i, i really don't.

I may, i stress may, have solved the figure issue. Just doing another search tonight and came across an old set of Preiser figures with a numbe ri was not familar with. But when i cheked, this appears to be an old boxing of the Preiser/Revell set i was after, so have just ordered it. But its got to come from the US, so might take a while. And i still have my eye on the Revell set as well. I am going to be picking these sets up where ever i can find them fom now on.

So, it might be a couple of weeks before i can get back to this.

Looking great Bish. I just hapenned to see a show on the NASA channel where they are experimenting with an aircraft similar to your model. It's a rather large wind tunnel model called hybrid wing something or other. It had two jet engines in the same area as your model.

Thanks PJ. And that spounds interesting. And i didn't even know NASA had their own TV channel. Going to have to look into that.

I have satellite so that channel is in my schedule. Right now they have a show called Video File and one of the crew members is answering questions aboard the International Space Station. Very interesting when he was asked if he has seen any "strange" objects out in space. The astronaut quickly changed the subject to how weird water looks floating in zero gravity.

LOL, ye, i bet there are strict rulkes about talking about little green men.

Was this the design you saw.

your picture didnt come thru

Damn link's, i'll try again.

Also found this one which is an R/C modl i think.

yep looks like the one in the link having twin engines.

Thats a neat design. I am guessing by the engines these have nothing to do with space travel, would be nice to see these at the local airport.

Just caught up with this one, beautiful build Bish!

Thnaks, glad you like it.

Nothing to do with space travel but experimenting with a design to improve performance in aircraft.

I guess its easy to forget what the first A stands for in the name. I think most people just think space when they think NASA.

Time to get this wrapped up. While i was waiting for the figures, i did put the bomb troller in its hole.

And with the figures duly ariving yesterday, i was able to get these painted up, nothing to complicated for German ground crews.

I had to do a bit of checking to place the figures right. They may look a bit odd now, but with the plane in place, they are doing a grand job. But you will have to take my word for that.

And then time to add the rest. The Officer figure is from Airfix. I cancelled my plan to add an access ladder as the aircrat is much lower than i had thought so a ladder is not really needed.

Add some chocks and a tool box to the back of the FAMO.

And there you have it. Been itching to build this for ages, so really pleased to have it built. Thanks all for looking and for all comments and suggestions.

Thanks. I know you like this sort of stuff, so glad you like this one.

Thanks Bob, glad to have you following along.

That's a great dio you have there Bish!  The Ar-555 is a really neat looking plane.  I have one in the stash - one day, one day...

Thanks G. Its a nice kit, i am sure you will like it. I am thinking about getting another one and doing some alterations.

that turned out quite nice Bish.

Thanks wayne.

Bish - 

Bravo Sir, Bravo...such a real dio....wonderful detail. Great job Bish. Your setting that bar pretty dang high (lol)

Looks fantastic Bish. The scene looks authentic and very realistic with each crewman having a task at hand. The tarmac looks very convincing too.

Well done!  The complete scene is a well executed snapshot of what could have been.  What a great idea.  Nicely done my friend!

Excellent build Bish!    Just found it and read through the whole thing.  Wow! 

Jim 

  That is terrific.  I really like how it turned out.                                              gk

Thanks Hunter, and i am really glad you were on board. I know your dad did say he would like to see this finished, unfortunatly i could not oblige, so having you here means a lot.

Thanks PJ. Those 6 figures are really useful for a lot of scenes. Unfortunatly you only get one of each, so i am goign to have to stock up when i can. And thanks for the pit suggestion. I think it has actually worked out better as you can just see enough to get an idea of whats going on, but does not give it all away.
