Looking great so far! As i'm working on a Gotha GVa, I'm keeping a close eye on your project. I'm also wondering for the fuel tanks, but as they won't be visible too much, I think that any artistic epresentation is as clse to the truth as any other - one or two, rectangular or cilindryc or any other shape. What really matter is the lozenge and I would love to see yours!
Best regards,
Sasho

Not much progress since the last update but still. I`ve added the altimeter and compass as well as an instrument panel (which was too narrow - I need to put some putty now.

Best regards

Outstanding work on the compass and Altimiter! It may be a slow build but it is certainly a FANTASTIC build!

It`s been a while...
I`ve scratch built some details:
8 - engine controls
9 -  rudder pedals -
10 - pilot`s seat - the one from the kit`s shape was entirely wrong...
11 - A signal pistol -
12 -  fuel hand pump
13 - engine shutters control
14 - bomb release handles
The seatbelts are Eduard`s etched parts. In the last picture there is one of three oxygen supplies I`ve made.






Best regards
Filip

    Slow but steady wins the day, Filip! The detail and the clean quality of it that you are achieving here in 1:48 Scale is very impressive. This work is top notch and a tribute to your patience and skills. Absolutely great work!

Thanks for all kind comments!!!
It`s a beastie for my standards - comperable to B17 in 1/72nd.
In the meantime I decaled wings with great - Aviattic - lozenge HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
The wings also need rib tapes - which will be in CDL.
To paint to fuselage I used Gotha blue from Misterkit - a really good paint  I wish they were easier to get!

15 - I`ve reshaped the steering wheel
16 - I`ve added  ammo drums and their locker - scratch
17 - I`ve fixed the oxygen tanks


Thanks for looking!
Best regards
Filip
