Junkers Ju-188 (Italeri, 1/72)

I'll have to give that a try. Thanks.

thx Bish :)

I have used alu folie... kitchen alu folie :)

Roman

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.

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...

thx guys,

I think when I put canopy it will nothing be to see inside cockpit... it's dark color and will be fine.

I will no go to scratch build this time, it will be OOB

 

Roman

This sound familiar to me LOL

nice that you changed mind about OOB build

Good tips about belts!!

Keep on posting

Great seat belt tip Roman thanks for taking the time to share it! The office is looking great and all that detail in 1/72 scale is amazing!

my way of producing seat belts... mybe will be helpful to someone

Cheers,

Roman

thx all :)

@troublemaker - yes, have it also at my material stash

home made seat belts are added 

Cheers,

Roman

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!

Len

thx tray... I'm giving my best with this what I have currently at home

Wire, plastic sim card holder, etc.

Roman your scratch building is awesome keep it up!

little work inside cockpit

nothing mutch and to big, I just try to rich it with stuff what I have arround me... PVC old telefon card, wires, etc.

Cheers

Roman

Yes, you are right...

I have put canopy for dry fit and I saw it's full visible to inside of cockpit...

And I have decided to do some homebuilt addons inside

Roman

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.

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.

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
