Time over the past two nights spent fraternizing with a P38. Back to the Horten tonight...
I just noticed that all that wiring in the front of my HO looks a bit like whiskers......hmmmmm
MEOUW....
that should REALLY wet Manny's appetite...mmm
C
But I did provide recon for Carlos' build...
I guess Vance's HO is on the back-burner again...
good point boss-man I really havent thought about that...I was also looking at the front-sides of the pit that are open to the engines....I imagine there must have been some kind of firewall or something....I dont think you were able to see the engines from the pit...
( did the Field Marshall just say "sweet " ??)
Car,, very cool pit ! nize job !
Sweet...one thing to consider is that slot behind the pilot for the canopy is fiction...the canopy slid on conventional rails...might want to fill it in. Great detail in the cockpit!
since our leader has reared his head I figured I better get going.....well I have a pit....with a little help from Vance...
Thanks..WIP pics....
Carlos
wellll......look what the cat dragged in......
MEOUW
Looking great, Mike! I always liked the look of the "unpainted" factory plane---if you go that route it will be really cool...I have the full article on how the guy did it if interested...
WIPs as promised:
All grist for the 229 mill, really, not a difficult kit and one with potential to be adapted to all sorts of possible marking schemes. I've a hankering to do a tropical scheme such as still used in Italy in '44...
I've been looking at plan sheets and comparing them to finished builds on the web, especially that unpainted one where you get to see the natural wood. The "panel lines" where the skin sheets met are awful interesting, but not reproduced by Revell. Would it be accurate to say the timber would be dressed to a superbly slick finish and the joints would essentially disappear, puttied and painted over? There's no point scribing heaps of lines if they're not accurate...
Just gotta do something with the see-through effect, then I can do the major assembly work. I'm looking forward to the camo...
Cheers, Mike/TB379

Hi all, I'm making some progress on the 229, and hope to have WIP pics soon. The cockpit is done, am working on the engine bays, looking at curing the see-through effect with something, and hope to have the fuselage closed up soon. Add the wings and gun bay panels and she'll be ready for masking. I'll be working in MM Acryls, and will need to order in the RLM 81 and 82 which would be a good bet for a Luft '46 scheme.
Thanks...will go back...
G-keep an eye out for that comemrcial...like the song says..."...almost fell out ma' chair"

Carlos,
Manny posted some photos of the cockpit and a half complete airframe back on page 6 of this thread.
He also posted some photos of a fantastic bare wood build on page 1 and 2.
Funny I hope poor JeffW isn't now trying to figure out to get his wife to let him pay $229.00 for a stamp...

Will " he whose name may not be mentioned" be presenting the Ho 229 awards when the build ends?
H ey I just posted this same thing over at the original thread.....I saw a commercial for Stamps.com and my jaw dropped.....I am trying to find a copy of it on the internet but no luck....It shows different people giving testimonies about their site and low and behold....the second or third peroson is a guy named JEFFW....I almost fell out my chair.....could it be..........the commercial aired yesterday sunday in the afternoon...but I dont remember the channel...
This is no joke,....someone needs to find a copy and post it!!!

Hab' keine angst......(.Have no fear ) ........the avatar of " he whose name may not be mentioned" continues to quietly and patiently watch over us even as I type this ....
."Gott sei Dank"..........
Gave my Ho a nice warm soapy bath...after that have started with the engines....interesting...my first DML/Dragon kit.....nice detail...strange grainy surface...terrible seams on the engine halves... I hope it gets better as I move along.
Woke up this morning to find a Ho at my door.....sweet.......no I can get going....
Maybe now some of these "agents" will stop snooping around my house....my modeling elves are getting nervous....just in case they just rolled this off the production line to help them protect the home front...
(more pics are posted on another thread.)
For all those concerned (and we KNOW who you are!), Manny has posted a message in the "missing Field Marshall" thread.
inmates ??? more like Monkees and football...
Sparrowhyperion Heck, that's what my cat looks like all the time... lol VanceCrozier: Good stuff Thunderbolt, looking forward to the pics. My progress last night? Well, one of Manny's spies caught me NOT working on the Horten wing: The look of pure Prussian disgust is priceless... or is she just sleepy? I can never tell with cats.
