Hallo friends, I apologize for not being able to participate more in the forum, by the way I managed to steal to real life some half hours here and there and take my project forward, I still follow all the magnificent build threads going on here and of course I feel like an ant in front of elephants!
:-)
Here is the current state of things: I primed the two fuselage halves, and built and painted most of the elements that will go inside the two birds:
EDUARD
BLUE MAX
To paint the interiors (and some of the cockpit elements) I did not use the XF 76 as indicated on the WNW instructions (I couldn't find it from my local shop, so I mixed
Lifecolor UA 074 (Light blue RLM 76) with a couple of drops of Lifecolor UA 004 (Interior Green) and this is the result, I am satisfied with it.
Then I went on to the cockpit elements:
EDUARD
Here I scratch built only the compass (just right of the ammo magazine) and the seat cushion (made with DAS and 5 tiny plasticard discs)
BLUE MAX
Here everything is built from scratch but the control stick (provided by the kit in white metal, not bad).
I also found the seat in my spare box and made the cushion using halves of plasticard round rods.
Thanks for watching dear friends, I hope next update will be in a shorter time!!!!
