Finally I can start another tour after a month of being away. This is all work I did either before we had to clear the hangar for the B-24 commission build; or after it was done. Let's start in that Hangar....
The Horten's cockpit got painted:
We also painted the machine guns, not knowing if they were going to be visible:
Got the nose on. This pic is from before it was sanded smooth:
We then test fit the wings to see if there's any issues with the nose section:
Later we fastened the wings in place and closed up the cockpit:
Now that one is ready for masking and paint, so we moved on to the FJ-1 for my Pakistani Air Force.
We finished off the cockpit tub and added it to one side of the forward fuselage pod:
Next this called for the addition of photo etch shrouds as well as a four-piece HUD assembly using two photo etch parts and two clear parts. I lost the provided clear parts, so we took some clear packaging; cut it to shape and used it instead. Remember; this is a 1/72 scale instrument panel and HUD:
Here's a semi-closer shot of this, showing how poorly I did with the instrument decals and HUD:
That is a slightly larger than standard alligator clip, so you have a size reference.
Next we assembled the engine exhaust. This kit provided a full set of photo etch parts to build the engine with; but after the ordeal with the HUD; I opted for simple!
Closed up the cockpit inside the forward fuselage pod; then added the HUD/instrument panel assembly; then cemented to the rear fuselage:
That don't look too half bad in there:
We then immediately added the canopy and windscreen to this to protect the HUD and ready this for paint:
Now we are done touring the Hangar, time to head to the Motor Pool....
Here in the Motor Pool, we finally started painting the SdKfz 234/4 with the stripes for the camouflage. This pic was taken after I realized I had already started the second color:
We then painted the gun shield. Looking at these pics; I saw for the first time where one of my cats jumped up and tried chewing on the barrel. Gonna have to see if I can fix that:
My Hobby Room door kept opening overnight, allowing the cats to explore without my supervision. I fixed that by removing the strike plate altogether; it doesn't open on it's own now!
Moving on, while we were painting the SdKfz Pakwagen, we also added camouflage to the Geschutzwagen rail car. First the brown color:
Then the green:
Those two will be finished very soon. Meanwhile I felt like I wanted something simple and nostalgic. I pulled out this ancient ESCI ambulance and we got started, building the chassis first:
Then we built the cab, as much as we could and still paint the interior:
The box was next; this was simple, easy and fun:
This little thing is so close to paint now after about 15 minutes:
Next was a set of RAF Bomber Command resupply vehicles that we'd been tinkering with now and then adding a few pieces here and there between other projects. Well, these vehicles are now about ready for paint:
Then as the day was winding down, we decided to do a little upgrading to the factory floor, adding a few new tools and desks and such: These were from three kits I bought some years ago and finally found again, They are all resin and were quite difficult to build on some of these. First we built the compressor:
Then we did a lathe and a desk filled with tools and stuff; apparently is was overloaded. Gotta add a rear leg to that:
Finally a drill press and another desk, here shown with all the other previous pieces of equipment. We'll probably be tinkering with these between builds as well.
That concludes this tour. Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.
Looks like your almost ready for paint on the Horten and the FJ-1 (a new type to me… I was thinking USN FJ-1)
Or was it before and afterwards?
