Official Ho229 Group Build

Now, when it got swept wings they renamed it "Banshee"?

Nice image..  I have been thinking of doing my last 1.48 panther as a Blue Angel, but the trick is finding an affordable set of the decals. lol

Now you know how I feel when I quote the wrong number of bolt holes on the road wheels of a Panther.

 

 

Road wheel on a Panther? Oh man, you are waaaaaay off:

Oh wait, you mean the other Panther.

You mean this one:

I only count four "road wheels" no bolts that I can see

Too many fiddly bits.

Ahhhhh.  One of the classics, but not enough rust.

I particularly enjoy the traditional head on a pike in this one Jim...

On Friday, the gadget was transferred to a uniformed representative for the U.S. government for delievery to brown at his hidden bunker north of the Mason-Dixon Line.  It should be given into his hands by tomorrow at the earliest.

Wonder what Big Sis would glean from this thread if she were to stumble across it?

YAY!!!  The PO is finally working around here.  I got a lovely brown wrapped package from China.  Inside was a beautiful Dragon 1/48 Ho229!!!!  Now as soon as I finish up a couple of P38s, I can dig in..

OK, you've got your parcel from another continent while I've stalled on the scratch-build. I've got to get back on that this week before I get passed AGAIN!

Looks like the slow-boat from China has even by-passed Vance...

great!!!! good news...and looks like you will have some time to mentally prepare for the kit and to stock up on some fresh putty and sanding sticks...I got some tips for you when you decide to start....let me know...

I am amazed it got here so quickly.  I'm still waiting on a package from MI that was ordered the same day.  Now I need to get paints.  I already have a big fresh tube of Squadron Putty.  I am trying to fond a better drying fan too.  I want to get one of those old 60s/70s oscillating fans for the bench, but they are hard to find.  Any suggestions on Paint?  I never 100% trust the instructions.

I like the fan idea...just keep your fiddly bits clear of the blades...

as for painting....anything goes,,,,since it is a hypothetical subject...sort of...Im making mine Tropical...as soon as I can get my AB mottle skills down.....yuo what would be interesting also....a Russian Winter white -wash...with splinter camo just peeking thru...besides that all else standard for Luft A/C.....RLM 66 interior and RLM 2 insides of covers..

I like the Winter theme idea.  It should look really great when you're done.  I am thinking of a more futuristic scheme.  It will make a nice compliment to my Wild Wings build F102.

Herr Field Marshall?

will you be updating a front page to show the completed HO's?

and once the paper HO has returned, add that as the last HO..in the long line of HO's..

Once Vance completes his HO the GB will be closed and all MOJO's who have completed a HO will have their's featured in a separate thread...

....in the long line of HO's..

Ho-train??

I hope Vance takes a while then.  Mine just arrived in the mail today and I need to get paint before I can even start it.
