These four pictures begin a project that should result in one of the largest models I have ever attempted. Not the biggest - the 1:32 Liberator holds my record here - but close!
However, the impressively large box contains surprisingly little and, also surprisingly, large components such as the fuselage, wings and tailplane are already assembled. Incidentally, these are made of fibreglass and require their own treatment.
These parts are also stable and clean. A bit of filling was required, as the traces of glue and filler on the seams are very rough and show air pockets. This will now be sanded, the cockpit sawn out and the windows drilled - well, modelling a little differently than usual! 🙂

The panel lines look ok I guess. I mean, I would be happy with those panel lines.

looks really good. would love to have a closer look at the 262 and the stuka 🙂

gorby
Thanks for all the nice comments mates. 🙂
I'm not worthy (plainly a load of tosh, but I need to keep up the pretence of looking humble). 😄
Spanjaard: The Stuka is in my Albums and the 262 is too shy to show it's face in public, so I'm afraid I can't show any more photos of it. 😉

Spanjaard
yes, i have seen again the album of the stuka, very nice indeed. i will have a look at gain, when i do mine one day
