After two hours, the whole cockpit, wings and "fuselage" were together. I got totally sucked in after the first two hours and it really got in the way of other projects! So fun!!!

Biggest issue is the choice of D-Day markings. The white bands are 60 mm on each wing and on the booms. This makes the individual stripes 12 mm. Pretty easy once you see it. I started out with 50 mm white band. That was clearly too short.

Really nice work DM....Lovely build.
Best story around Robin Olds in a P-38 was that he got behind a flight of 109's.....he was ready to open fire when his engines cut - dead. He had forgot to switch tanks to his internals when he jettisoned his external tanks. Instead of resolving his fuel transfer issues he just carried on lining up on the 109 and shot it down while in 'glide mode'. That's calmness under pressure for you.

Great build! The nose wheel is up, does the the nose weight ball included in the kit need to be reinforced with extra lead?

Thanks all…
The nose wheel appears elevated because I use a sheet of glass on my bench. The glass is 1/4" thickness.

Thx for you feedback 🙂🙂
The entire interior is lined with upholstery, which is primarily used for noise-insulation. Until yesterday, I broke my head because I didn't know how to repicate it… After a conversation with a mate (thx Hanno), the brilliant idea came to me: Fimo clay.
The material can be processed excellently and is solid in the oven after 30 minutes at 130°. The most important thing is that it does not become bone-hard but left elastic and can even be sanded.

This morning I was curious and unpacked the chassis of Jam-Screw. As already written, the quality is outstanding. But everything is so filigree that you have to be very careful and not to break anything when handling. I had to improvise a bit here and there. In the end, I was finished after 2 hours. Including preparation for laying the cables.

Danke fürs Lob Tom. 🙂. Dank der hervorragenden Innenraum-Fotos macht es wirklich sehr viel Freude herumzupuzzeln. Mein Seaking Projekt hat, könnte man sagen, eine „kritische Masse" erreicht. Dank diversen Kontakten zu Hubschrauber-Spezialisten, und ehemaligem Wart und nunmehr der Connection zur Jam-Screw habe ich die Möglichkeit offene Fragen auch dort zu klären. Für seine CAD files hat JS / Andy und seine Leute hunderte von Fotos geschossen, zu den ein normaler Sterblicher keinen Zugang hat.
Deinen Vorschlag werde ich an Thomas weiterleiten. Deine Idee ist sehr gut.🙂

Thank you for the big praise. I am very happy to have such a large number of fans of this WIP.🙂🙂
Dietmar: nur dank der Unterstützung von einer Handvoll von Mk-41 Fans ist es mir möglich so tief in die Materie einzutauchen.
Übrigens: Ganz am Anfang wollte ich die Türen offen lassen und nur ein „bisschen" im Inneren tun. Aber als ich die Fotos von Thomas betrachtet habe, bin ich „getürmt und hab mich auf dem Boden versteckt". Irgendwann habe ich jedoch den „Zustand der inneren Ruhe" (die Phase wenn ich kein Problem mehr damit habe mich z.B. mit einem Rucksack aus Fimo eine halbe Stunde zu beschäftigen)🙂🙂 und betrachte es inzwischen als eine Herausforderung, wieviel ich von dem Zeug nachbauen kann.

A waterproof green rubber mat is laid on the cabin floor of the SeaKings of the German Navy. However, not under the equipment rack and not in the area of the „shower cabin" (radaroperator workstation). There, the rubber mat was left out, shortened and folded upwards.
At the points of the mountingpoints and other hatches, access covers (probably also made of rubber) are incorporated into the rubber mat.

I have hardly any experience with 3D printed parts, especially concerning the flexibility. The material used by Jam-Screw is quite brittle. Therefore, I decided to disconnect the axles and insert a wire. This also has the advantage that you can align the wheels precisely afterwards, especially because they are flattened.

Result of a modeling mini task: DIY FOD covers.
I wanted to be very „smart" and install the exhaust pipes from the outside after painting. I overlooked that the opening in the fuselage is much smaller than the „hidden" end. Therefore, I had to improvise: I sawed off the outer end and inserted them obliquely from the outside.

KyMustang: the Seaking - Kit of Airfix is on of few witch offers stressed skin.
Tom: in der Tat, das war das Ereignis des Monats! Wie bereits schon geschrieben, habe ich das große Glück, Mitglied einer WhatsApp-Seaking-Taskforce 🙂 zu sein. Felix und Thomas waren gestern bei dem VIP Termin dabei und haben ihre Informationen in der Gruppe geteilt. Demnach bleibt die 63 in Nordholz. Vielleicht ergibt sich mal eine Gelegenheit, das Modell mitzunehmen und nach Nordholz zu fahren. Vielleicht hätten die Museumsmitarbeiter Interesse das Ding in klein zu sehen.

Good morning Aaron,
thank you for the praise! That was indeed a great experience for me in Nordholz to see the 89+63 live on friday. 🙂I would have liked to see the Seaking in flight on saturday🙁
The decals have been created by a modeling-friend exclusively for me and our Seaking task force 🙂.
HSQ / Mr. Fienne Schola has released a sheet exactly for the 89+63. Here are two links.

In the last week I actually managed to instal all the parts without mess, breakdowns and disasters on the fuselage.
Although I am not finished yet (the parts for the rotor have not yet arrived from Australia) I wanted to share some photos of the details with you. 🙂
At this point I would first like to say thank you to my 4 modeling friends, without whom this project would not be possible.
To Thomas for his great photos that left no questions unanswered.
To David for his support by creating the outstanding decals.
To Felix for his boundless knowledge of helicopters and his tireless answers to my countless questions.
Last but not least to Carsten for his efforts in the creation of the seat cushions and his communication with the former technician of the Seakings: so I had „access" to hundreds of pages of the service manual, which a normal mortal does not get to see.🙂

This is the first time for me to tackle a complete resin kit. And when I look at the individual parts, it will be a real challenge. There is an extreme amount of rework needed on each part. Hope I can get it to work.

Thank you all for watching. Alex, I also saw the Grand Models kit for the M18, but I was frightened from some build reviews, there is a lot of rework to do on that kits. I have now the same or a bit more work, but I got the 3D file for free from Thingiverse.
I am really not a Pro in sratch building but I will try to engrave some panel lines and add some more greeblies to the plane. The 3D file is very poor in details.

Robert, you can have a look to the Grand Models resin kits. I am much more disappointed that there is no kit in 1:72 and no 3D file of a PZL 106 Kruk. I would spend some money on that because it would fit perfect to the Dromader and Cmelák.

Actually, that is something that makes me angry too - I would love to see (and buy) decent kits of "Wilga" and "Kruk" (not mentioning PZL M-15 "Belphegor" 😉 )... but apparently no Polish manufacturers are interested in preparing these.

Guys... let's look a bit at the bright side: who would have thought a few years ago that one day (today!) there would be kits of the Cmelak, the Dromader, the Grumman AgCat (in both 1:72 & 1:48!!!), the Piper Pawnee?! Some are short-run, some are cast-resin, some are 3D-files-to print - nevertheless, something is slowly moving towards that direction! So, yes, I do hope too there will be someday a Kruk available in 1:72 or a Belphegor! And your buys of such kits and your modelling work proves that there's some interest in such topics! Keep it up! 👍

Robert, I can understand that it is confusing, but in the GDR, "Dromedar" was actually used. This is the German translation of the word. Feel free to search for pictures of it, here would be an example: [img1]

It is not easy to find out with which lettering the excavator was delivered in the color used in the respective year of construction. I'll have to see which decals I print out.

Yes l just get cheap ones of eBay, the do different sizes, you can pull ends n spring out for barrel look, or file ends last to have a recoil cannon look.

Hi, it dries 100% clear but is slow.. to air dry ..so leave overnight.
But it's worth it as very strong. And is very neutral on paint and clear parts.
It's almost like an air drying epoxy, not harsh like super glue or poli ...very safe.
I only use it on clear stuff as it's stronger than PVA but not good for general building.. l do use it to fill gaps sometimes.

Don't think I'd trust those decals. The red stars are easy enough to replace or paint on, the bort numbers might be more of a challenge.

Because I stumbled somehow over your wip, I checked the history of the kit. It is rally unbelievble, that those engine openings are on the bottom of the motors. Amazing. I wouldn't notice that without your hint.

Hi Lorraine 👋.
Glad your interested 👍 there are X2 colour schemes for the be-6 the Soviet green or the Chinese blue, l liked the blue version but could only find suitable replacement decals for Soviet.
My first kit was the Matchbox Electric lightning,.... Built it with my dad....was nice as was 3 colour plastic out the box.
The first models l built on my own were the Veb/Playfix be-6, & Tu- bomber, so nice to revisit.
Got X2 models at min I'm preparing for paint.
Yours is coming along well...."carefully work" 👍👍

I usually use Velejo or AK acrylic, but I'm going to use Tamiya on this one as it won't fit in cabinet.....and l find Tamiya acrylic is a tough paint better for wear n tear, as I'm sure it's going to need dusting now n then 🙄🤣.
The Tamiya paint turns out to be darker than advertised on the lid n chart, I've ordered a white n thinner to Tone down.
Like you I've had 2x build going on.
The Fw-190 really pop's once decals are on..... Remember the trim tabs are red....l just had paint.

Thanks! 😄 I think the plastic is pretty nice. Not too soft and not too hard, but maybe closer to hard. The kit itself is challenging. Seemingly pretty detailet parts with rivets and all, but the fitting is bad. I have already lost some rivets due smoothing seams and filling gaps.

Hey Villiers/Christoph - hope you enjoy the build and thanks for watching the progress. Thinking about a custom paint job on the second spitfire with reference to the album power slave of which Aces High is from. Have some home print decal sheets that I have been meaning to use for years so might try testing them out. Revell have been kind enough to send a second Eddie Sprue so will have him seated in both planes when completed.

They have been easy to print and super quick to detach from the backing compared to official decals. Interesting to play with but a note to the wise, figure the decals you want and their placement as transparent decals will only be visible on light colours. See my body art for an example!
You then have the issue of how to get round this, which I have yet to decide the best method. Thinking maybe a top coat then a second run through the printer!
Both white and transparent paper are hard to adhere to bumps on the surface without creating bubbles, think this might be A: thickness B:my poor application (more likely 😅).
I need to find some junk kits to do some proper testing before I next use them on a project I think 🤔

Thanks Edouard 👍👍
Good luck with it, sometimes double printing can off-set a little so make sure paper 100% straight.

Know that for a fact, worked as a printers assistant for a time and adding gold elements required a method of double printing, was a nightmare 🤣
