Texas hurricane is underway let the fun begin!
Sorry for inverted pics cant get rotated🤠

Rotation is well hidden. To rotate your photos, open your album. Click on "manage". Then turn on the "advanced options" toggle. You will now have the ability to rotate photos in the album.

Thanks ben

Ben M
Glad I could help, mate! Looks like a fun build.

Tcamp

Tcamp
I reworked the main jib boom
I wasnt feeling the kit one
Its still a work in progress

Doubtingmango
Beautiful work!

Tcamp
Thank yall
Im not a rivet counter or anything but.....
The more i looked at the kit boom i could not figure how it would work ..
Revell had their boom right im also going to support mine as they did and use poles instead of ratlines. Which tie down inside of the work area ?
Im not feeling that one either lol
Again thanks

M0rce
Oooohhh... so nice 🙂
A Lindberg kit? Seen them but never got one, yet. That looks amazing.

Snake Plissken
Started out life as a Pyro Plastics kit which in turn was a reverse-engineered copy (pretty much a blatant rip-off) of the Model Shipways wooden kit of the M.T. (Motor Trawler) Hildina H-222 which was built by Cook, Welton & Gemmell Ltd. in 1951. If you look for photos, you will see it matches the Hildina except for some artistic license in the pilothouse windows mainly but an easy fix. The sloped rear pilothouse roof is also a distinctive feature of the Hildina. Apparently the front boom can face forward or aft (is it on a swivel?) according to need. I know the boom was used to hoist the cod end (heaviest part of the net) aboard. These kits are a great basis for conversion to R/C as the original plastic kits were motorized.

M0rce
The details on this kit are so crisp. Looking forward to seeing what you're doing to the rear section.

Tcamp
Me too. ( LOL )
thanks m0rce

Snake Plissken
@M0rce I thought you meant where the deckhouse meets the wrap-around stern section; there's a bad gap there where the aft doors are, port and starboard, but maybe you meant the rear mast. Some trawlers only had a foremast and added a simple derrick to handle the lifeboat.

For teeny-tiny too-small-for-tweezers photo-etch, I recommend a wax pencil. Might still be impossible, but maybe slightly less impossible? 🙂

J D
Adrian, thanks for your recommendation and I will have a try later.

jaero
dude this is sick as, love your work

Neuling

J D

Wow !!!

Alec K
Great project! Your cockpit detail is superb, taking notes for when I get to mine 👍

Jakub Fiala
Thank you Alec! I know, that this variant of Ar 234 is something like ,, what if or luftwaffe 46´´ , which is usually not may cup of tea. But i hope, it will look cool on my display case 🙂 ( especially with the Julia)

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Łukasz Gliński

Rui
Watching 😎

Jakub Fiala
Wellcome Rui!
Thank you, Ludvíku!

Alec K
Those raised rivets look good 👍

Jakub Fiala
Thank you, Alec, for your feedback. I didn't know, how to represent those bolts, that were on real aircraft. Than i decided to try this relatively new product from Eduard. And.....i think, its OK. ( I did not count the number of bolts 😄 )

Alec K
Good idea. Did you highlight the rivets after painting the frames black?

Jakub Fiala
Yes, i did. Primarily i sanded the rivets with very fine sanding sponge to uncover the layer of silver color underneath. But it was not 100 % OK, so i highlited the rivets by drybrushing them with silver oil color.

Alec K
👍

Martin Maj
very nice details 👍

Jan Peters
Very nice indeed 👍🏻
Can't wait to see it finished

I like the idea of rivets. I'll have to try it sometime.
