I have been following this if not posting; I'm still trying to get caught up after Comicon in San Diego, as well as get over this cold/flu. Hopefully soon I'll be in some condition to post something. Until then, I'm following along and admiring your outstanding work here. Way to go on this excellent model.

Re: 1/48 Hasegawa Arado 234 Blitz-Nose Section-07/27
Thanks folks!
I managed to shoot a base coat of RLM 66 emamel last night before going to bed. I woke this morning and hit the bench at about 3:45 a.m. and started by hitting the highlights with a little acrylic RLM 66 with a drop of white in it on the high points. I set that aside to dry and then hit it with a coat of Tamiya Clear and allowed that to dry. I followed that up with a wash of MIG Productions dark wash lightened some so as not to be overbearing with it. After that dried under a lamp for a while I brought out all the details and dry brushed some silver over the corners and over some of the more frequently used controls through out the side consoles. I then went over everything with a coat of MM flat clear with a drop of grey in it to give the sun faded look. I still have to install the instruments at the R/H front console and at the upright panel at the front of the L/H console and then it'll be down to the PE details, resin pieces like the control yoke and seat with belts and then the main instrument panel. There's alot more stuff I didn't mention but the list is just too dang long. You get the picture though(no pun intended).

Thanks Paul. Still got a ways to go.......
Re: 1/48 Hasegawa Arado 234 Blitz-Cockpit Progress-07/29
Very nice !
So modern the cockpit was back then, in general, could be any militaryplane from the 80's or even 90's...

Thanks Kari. Yeah it was a little different than the conventional layout alright.
Re: 1/48 Hasegawa Arado 234 Blitz-Cockpit Progress-07/29
That's a really nice start on the cockpit Joe - loving the detail. I'm glad your Aries cockpit fits - I had to ditch the last two I tried.
Best wishes to you and your wife - I hope you're both feeling better!
Cheers

Indeed some nice detail on this cockpit! Could be the lighting, but I miss the blue hue of RLM 66. Also, I would go with a semi-matte finish here.
