I humbly submit that I shall add a goofy-looking Albatross ( a la Rhyme of the ancient Mariner) to my signature graphic until such time as I complete the Horten 229.

Hi! Did you have more detail´s from Horten? This scanned photo in this is ideal for me to do.
Thanks
WOW !

Building that wooden artillery piece must have taken a lot out of Manny or he'd have demanded to know:

Nope, too much wind back in 1938
The zimmerit is pigeon applied anti-magnetic paste.
I have many books and my Lair smells of rich mahogany!!! Stay thirsty my fellow MOJOs!

The Navigator Mike, the HO's looking good. To avoid sanding off details, I put masking tape over areas I don't want to screw up. You can tape close to the seam, but you'll have a ridge, as I discovered with my Tomcat.

Still more good advice. Thanks for the kind words.

VanceCrozier The Navigator: Yes, securely bunkered down in undersea lair Undersea lair - the pressure must make airbrushing a little more difficult!

That's when I go topside:
Good advice. This is why I do armor in 1/35th scale. 1/72nd requires better fine motor skills than I have. Aircraft require a lighter hand and finer finish than I'm used too. But, every kit is a learning experience.
MAJMike -- wow, that top seam really did fight you. It was not the best on mine, for sure, and took some filler. I use 1200 wet or dry, wrapped around an old, thin, flat-blade file, used wet, to keep the sanding effect tight on the seams, but sometimes the only way to blend it is to go finger-width, and rescribe what you lose. Looks like you have a fair bit of surface redressing to do, I'd suggest two, maybe three grades of paper, and of course used wet.
My PhD is grinding to a close, I sincerely doubt I'll be able to get to the bench before the end of the month, but I'm looking forward to giving these Hos a seeing to when the opportunity comes along!
Cheers, Mike/TB379

Mike, The seams look good but you are going to have some real fun rescribing the lines. Are you using sheet sand paper? Ihave found that using sanding sponges and sticks keep the sanding just on the seams and means less clean up. (I am too lazy to rescribe)
