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

Here is a teaser -- most of the resin parts for this conversion.

I'm using the spare fuselage and parts from the Dragon He-162/Me-262 Mistel kit. Only thing I'm missing from that is landing gear doors and wheels however CMK does a nice set of replacement wheels and Quickboost does a set of 262 gear doors so with just a few little extras this project is golden. I'm also going to use a Revi gunsight from Quickboost. The Mistel kit does not include a spare rubber but the Antares kit allows for a V tail conversion option so I'm going to take that path.

Looking forward to your usual high level of craftmanship Matt

PS love your year in review thread, cheers

First of all, to the forums ECS. It is great to have you aboard! If you have any questions about this group build, please fell free to ask. Also, is this the 1/35 or 1/72 DML Maus?

Thank you! Oops; it is the 1/35th DML kit. In the box I also found that I had the Verlinden detail set for it, I may have a metal barrel kicking around as well. It's been quite a while since I finished an armor kit, so I am looking foreward to this.

WarHammer can I join this build with my F7F Tigercat

Oh, sorry!

Its an ATM model in 1/48.

WarHammer25,

Count me in. The Metero has been on my short list of planes to build. It will be 1/48 scale. I believe Tamiya makes a 1/48 scale kit.

Thanks

Tom

Here's some progress for ya, I got my pit done and am looking at fixing the intakes.

The seat in the pit is a quick boost resin piece. The IP and side consols have been replaced with Eduard PE pieces. The intakes as from Antares have a serious step inside, I'm grinding them out to be a smooth transition. This New Years holiday has allowed for some serious model time unfortunately it's back to work in the morning so not much will happen until next weekend now.

Sounds good. I will put you down for the Tamiya Meteor.

Looks good Swanny! Keep up the good work.

Sounds good. Front page updated.

The easiest way (at least the way I do it) to put the badge of your choice in your signature is to first save the picture to your own computer under "My Pictures" (I think). Then you need to be a member of a photo website like photobucket or flikr, both are free. I use photobucket. Then upload the badge to your account and then copy and paste the image file into your signature. You might also want to check out the Forum Help section if that doesn't work.

I'd like to get in on this too.

I have never done a GB before I am a newb on the forum, in fact I think this may be only my 3rd post :)

I was planning to build this next anyways. I am going to build a Hasegawa 1/32 ME163 Komet.

I will likely be building it completely OOB.

Thanks

Thanks Jmart.

I will be starting the ME163 soon as I am done the BF109G4 regia aeronautica I am currently into. Just about done that, still have to decal, weather and glue a few things on and it is done.
