Endgame 1946 GB - 1/1/09-12/31/09

Youknow Feld...I built that He-111 a few years ago and from the looks of your pics I remember having to deal with the same gaps. Check the big greenhouse as well. I had to heat mine in hot water and adjust a bit. You might do that with the JU canopy..that might help sit it down. Maybe the rest of the nose could use some heating and gentle "calibration". I also see that you filled a seam with a styrene strip. That was going to be my next suggestion.

Good luck..I just finished a battle just like yours.

In the end...the He make a real nice build.

Thanks for the advice Carlos, I'll have to try that.  Yeah theres what the underside looks like on my He-111.

Yep....like deja vu...the same seams at the wings....I see you did the same as I did....put the gear doors in to paint. FYI...getting the gear into the wells afterwards..be gentle...you will have to work those struts into place....took me a bit of work to get them in there and sitting right and sturdy, in fact if I remember I might have had to take the doors off whether I liked it or not. I just remember that the getting the gear in with the doors already in place was a challenge...Look out.

Oh..and those seams at the nacelles....tough to fill and sand smooth....mine still showed thru...covered them up with some creative "smoke and exhaust stains"...

well, i know this GB is over, but I actually did finish this back in the fall, just never got around to posting pics.  This is the Trumpeter E-25, i had lots of problems with individual tracks, so you'll see that in these pics.  Otherwise it was a fun build, first model built in a while.  Hope to get back into the hobby more and improve.
