Wow, some real amazing work being posted here. Hard to keep up.
Bish - outstanding, hope my E looks as nice when I am done!
Jay - nice belts and interesting scheme.
John - hard to believe that is 1-72 until you put your hand in the pic, looking good.
Small update from my workbench, will post pics later on tonight since I cannot access PB at work. I was adding the final oil washes to my G6 (yellow 2, F. Steigler) and set her down, must have pressed down too hard as both main gear collapsed and broke off. looked at drilling holes for wires and re-gluing, but also had a set of the Eduard Brassin landing gear on hand so spent several hours drilling and filing out the mounting locations for the new legs.
Also, began working on the Eduard E-3 for this GB, determined that I will be painting it as yellow 1 (Priller's mount from the Fall of '40) and discovered a kit that I really enjoy building. Cockpit went together without a hitch, has been primed, painted, detailed and assembled. Decided not to display the engine, although I built it up a bit anyway, but will have all the cowlings closed on this one. Liked it so much I ordered another one! Was on a roll two weekends ago and was able to get the everything closed up and the wings / tail planes assembled. Only real problem area is the oil cooler / radiator under the nose, as my fuselage parts were a bit warped and i ended up with a bit of seam that is nasty there. I am taking notes on this one for the next build as well.
Anyway, was able to prime, paint the yellow nose and rudder, and preshade last night, and was also able to get the bottom painted RLM 65. WIll post pics tonight!
Take care.
