Every morning.. I wake up.. and kneel and bow towards Aaron's (, Jim's Judge Dredd's) office in humble homage that I have this forum and especially this thread to look forward to each day.. and the MOJO's that come with it.. YesBow Down

and also to those that are not MOJO's.. but contribute to keeping my insanity at bay... Big Smile

thank you one and all.. ! Balloons

 

We now return  you to our regularly scheduled lunacy and cat associated dribble...you are free to move about the forums..Pirate

I thought the insanity here was a feature, not a bug.  Further proof that there is no sanity clause! Stick out tongue

Two airframes advance down the Horten assembly line here in Aus...

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn48/MikeTheModeller/RevellGo229/DSCF0672a.jpg

I ordered up the RLM 78, 79 and 80 for the tropical scheme last night, so that's in hand. I can re-use the mask set. Internal painting for the second airframe is now well along, as is the cockpit, just detail stuff to do and apply that hideous instrument decal.

Looking at plan drawings, that feature on building an unpainted 229, and digital art, the Revell kit is way light on panel lines. I'm thinking of scribing some extras... Unless the joints were between timber sheeting, and were puttied and smoothed out pretty much the way we do between parts, in which case smooth is accurate... What's the concensus on that stuff around die Horten Kraftwerk?

Cheers, M/TB379
