So I have now started fumbling with the sheet of photoetch. On goes a new no. 11 blade, and off I go a-cutting....
It looked so much easier before I actually began. *sigh
I have managed to get the instrument panel layers of photoetch together, however I didn't quite get the lining up of it perfect. Can't do much about that now that it is CA-ed together.
The foot pedals were supremely more difficult as the toe part has to get rolled and then bent to match up with the bottom part. The top-of-the-foot part was moderately eaier because it only entailed rolling it the the other side of the bottom.
Of course, though, I ended up over-bending both parts of the two pieces, and ting! it broke.
And unfortuneatly, same story with the control levers. That one however has fed the carpet monster.
Now I have primed some cockpit nibbly bits, and props as well. These are now ready for some RLM02 Grau.
I have attempted to try to separate the left/right landing gears and props. We will have to see how that turns out.
And last, and probably least is a boring picture of I-have-no-idea-what-they-are parts. They go inset into the wings on the left and right lower surface, with a open-ended cover on top. Maybe part of the engine intake/exhaust system? I am sure someone here can let me know what they are. I am but a rookie when it comes to WWII planes..
