Good start Roman! Are you going to scratchbuild the cockpit or just go OOB?  That scale is too small for my eyes, luckily I have the Dragon 1:48 Ju-188...a little bigger. I like the nightfighter cammo and can`t wait to see how it comes out.

Take Care,

Len

I have this kit as well but got the Eduard PE set and the canopy mask set for it as well. The Cockpit will definitely look busier once the turret and canopy are installed.

Thats not quite true that cockpit area is all glass so at the very least if you get the Eduard set you can add ammo belts Instrument panel details and seatbelts as those would be very visible. On the other hand if you were working on aircraft with a enclosed cockpit that you can't see anyways then go ahead and enclose it and do nothing. But Greenhouse canopies beg to have the cockpit superdetailed.

Looking good Roman!  You probably know this already but, a good source of "gizmology" parts is from old electronic devices. My CO2 detector just went bad after seven years so I took it apart . Capacitors , diodes,etc are great for scratchbuilding...even had  red and green LEDs...future running lights maybe.  Keep up the good work!

thx guys a lot :)

shell case is made from alu folie... just roll them and painted in biedge  color... I saw on 1/48 they are little different shape, but this is so tiny and small and I have run out of idea how to bade little coned shape of them... I'm sadisfied with that how they turn out and I think after thru  canopy they will be nice spot inside cockpit

and little update

Canopy is glued into position... for now how I can see it's great fit...

Engines are still in dry fit, but wheel bays and engine support are glued...

They do look very nice. I did wounder if you used painted tissue. I made canvas gun covers for a 72nd kit a while back and they look similar.

Roman,

Great tip on the seatbelt - thanks for sharing.  Have tried making belt myself, but always struggled to get them realistic.  Will give your method a try next time.

Looking good so far.  Fortunately, you're not using the Jumo 213 cowlings, they're awful. The BMW 801 cowlings are better, but they lack the 12-bladed fan behind the propeller (see Fw-190A pictures for some reference). Waiting to see more. Best regards.
