I have started and almost finished the two kits i got a BF 110 and a G4m Betty.

The bigger one is the betty.

Wow Trey, that's some nice interior detail! And really sharp looking resin replacement parts.

I had to clean up the ejector pins in the tail wheel area and decided just to sand it all down and scratch back in the details

I used some Evergreen tube cut to length,then softened with tenax to bend into the curve and set

Both sides completed

I then added the O2 spheres using some bird shot

I also scratched up some control cables

I'm not sure how much if any of it will ever be seen again but I know its there;)

RLM 02 and a wash then time to button the fuse up

Doug thanks ,I'm still fascinated by the Ju-88 in all its various versions, I think one could make a solid argument that it had more variants than any other aircraft of the war.

Tony thats a fact I've had some that required major surgery for a proper fit!

I 've not made much progress,added the rudder pedals and some small details. Then worked on the seats ,especially tricky shaving the resin out of the radio seat head rest posts without breaking it! I'm still on the fence for what paint scheme and unit,thinking of going the 3./KG54 route and trying my hand at some squiggles

I'm sure it will be another stunner Trey. It's also nice to see some resin that actually fits as it should, doesn't happen that often.

Cheers

Tony

Resin always adds a sweet touch to a kit... Looking forward to wip pics on this one. As much as I love the Me109 and as many as I've built over the years, There has ALWAYS been a place in my heart and mind for the Ju88. I got to see one many years ago, and while not in fighting trim... WOW what an aircraft! That booger is huge! Looking good so far!

Doug (RR)

Just finished up with other G/Bbuilds and finally get to start on my Ju88!. I went with a Verlinden resin office

Next was removing all the raised interior details

The fit is really pretty good just some minor filing required

The bulk of the major parts are now ca'd in place

The fuse halves fit good ,more trimming of the resin parts was needed for a flush fit

Test fit of the lower canopy looks promising no major gaps to be seen

That 335 looks incredible! Very nice. Thanks for posting pics!

I like the finished arrow , good work Doug 

Stunning Do 335 Doug ,really turned out sweet!

Thanks, i would love to see that. Good thing about these builds is that you can do almost what ever you wnat, and no one can say its wrong.

Tony...LOL I knew with your wit I would like you! Looking forward to seeing your Mosquito WIP,Gamera, as always, Thanks, Yes when I was a young Marine, I always admired our "Top" (M/Sgt) who would proudly show off "His" chopper that we maintained. Made us feel good. See, the pilot only THINKS its his craft, and we let him believe that(grin). Bish... Yes I did see a photo of a bomb loader but admit that I did take a some "liberty" with the construction. I will try to find it again and get you a copy to study, it was a electric (battery) run cart that was moved with an electric motor and electric lift, but it was a push around unit. I made mine a rider. I've worked with forklifts (service tech) now for about 35 years and love hydraulics.

Is the loader based on any photos or just one you made up. Sorry if i seem a bit obsessed, but German dio accesories like this are hard to come by, and i am always looking for ideas.

I am in a few GB's at the moment, and it would be a pleasure to share one with you. Thats a stunning build.

Doug: Nice work there, the 335 turned out great and the dio and figures is really cool. I like the idea of the ground crew chief shows off 'his' plane to the new owners.

I've been admiring that thing for days. Very good build, but I appreciate that you want to protect your loins.

Cheers

Tony

Thanks Bish... Kit is the Tamyia 1/48th scale, not sure of the production #, With Verlinden resin engine and cockpit updates. The figures are Tamiya US Troops, and the bomb loader is all scratch built from sprue and leftover old parts. Don't be a stranger! hope to be in a build with you sometime. Doug

WOW, great build. Love the paint job. I don't see you listed on page 1, whcih kit is this. I'm guessing 72nd looking at those figures.

And where is that bomb loader from.

Ye, its all going well. This is one of those GB's i meant to watch, but so easy to lose track.

OK guys here she is.. As always I stand (with girded loin) open to any critique, comments, or constructive criticisms. I call this "The End Is Near". I imagine somewhere in early to mid April 1945 She is being readied for what would likely be her last mission when the Americans arrived and ceased the preperation, all but a few fled, and the crew chief proudly shows off "his" aircraft to his captures.   Thanks, Doug 

Tony, Gamera, BSY...Thank you all very much, shes coming along... Bish, good hearing from you, its been awhile...Hope all is going well in your part of the world!

That 335 looks stunning, great paint job.

so great work 

Heres a few more, shes coming along...

Doug: Looking good! 

That Arrow is starting to look very good. I'm looking forward to seeing the final stages.

Cheers

Tony

Heres a few more pictures of the "Pfeil" starting on the decals and dry transfers...

Doug: Great job- the camo looks fantastic!

Tony: Cool, love to see that Mosquito!

Thank you BSYamato and Trey... I used to just build and shelve, But since joining in on these group builds, others get to see my efforts and I get to see all of yours. So many talented builders here. I guess I'm also blessed with a VERY understanding wife (who happens to work afternoon shift) and is wise enough to see how much I love doing this and how it helps me to unwind after working all day.

Looking forward to seeing more from all of you too!

Doug, (RR)

Looking great RR!

Well dode RR!
