Following. Still struggling with my Revell/Modeltrans/OKB Grigorov Merk. Also bought the EMP3D ball and chain armour but see that you used the balls only. Anxious to hear why. Where did you find the super fine chain? I didn't.

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic work so far. Keep it up!

I had also thought about replicating the chainball armor with chains for my two Merkavas and tried but failed because the chains I found all seemed too big.

Michael Kohl
I was elated when EMP3D released the ball and chain armour and I ordered it and it looks very good. So I am anxious to know why Pryzemyslav discarded it.

Dave Flitton
Watching.

Thx mates.
When i've bought EMP3D i was very happy, because there are no in the trumpeter set.
But after installation it occured they hang to low and just break with little turret movement
After few trials to fix them, ideas to rebuild the turewt, i've decided to replace them
Found small chains (even smaller that i've used) on mojehobby.pl

Can you tell us the productcode of the chains or a link? Thanks!

Cockpit detailing finished and primed/RLM66
Started riveting with the new tool I bought at EME in Lingen

AndreasK
Ok, riveting is time-consuming but also relaxing. I gave the wing a wash to check the result. Looking good so far. I just hope that it will be still visible after paint job

DerMattes
Looks really good!

Tony Tonov
Very nice, taking a seat 👍

Alec K
Impressive cockpit, following 👍

CaptGPF
Obscene level of detailing at such a scale - Definitely following!

Skyhiker
Looks good so far. The wires are a nice touch.

Łukasz Gliński
Wow, what a cockpit!

Great progress!👍🏻

AndreasK
Made some progress on the small E381 fighter to be carried by the 234.

AndreasK
Finished the E381. Just some light panel line wash, no chipping or fading, as this was more or less a one-time flyer...

AndreasK
Today I began the painting process for the 234. Sprayed RLM66 on the canopy and also used this for preshading of the upperside. Preshading of the underside was done with Intermediate Blue. I tried these colours instead of the usual black to obtain less contrast to the base coats and make it blend better. Hopefully...

Alec K
Very nice progress 👍

3 hours of masking the splinter camo. I hope I did not forget anything 😱

AndreasK
With the engine outlets and canopy frames done, painting comes to an end. Especially the latter was very tedious in terms of masking. But I am satisfied with the result 😃

AndreasK
Decals are on. Next step panel line wash to bring out all the rivets I made.

Alexander Grivonev
Geiles Ding, will den auch bauen👍 Great cockpit detailing!

AndreasK
I finished this model 🥳

Alec K
Very well done, congrats 👍

Skyhiker
Looks good. Nice one for your collection.

Łukasz Gliński
The finish is as excellent as the cockpit 👍

J35J
Looking great! 👍🏻

Nicolas

Looks like fun in 1:48. I considered creating an iterior for a Blackhawk 1:72 kit, but though it was all too small.

Christian
I really enjoy the process of dry fitting and reshaping. Can't imagine doing this in 1:72 🙈
I'm going to add a few rivets from HGW models too. So there is a long way to go….

Gareth Burge
Got in the stash...following with interest

Christian
Thank you Gareth!

Sergej I
Watching! Love the water bottle and even more smokes!

Christian
Thank you! The water bottle is from a Black Dog kit. I'm going to build one or two Ammo can's an add a M16 and a M60 as well. There will be two M134's for the doorgunner positions and two rocket pods as well.

Sergej I
Would prefer an M60 at the door, but minigun is also legit 👍 🙂
Great stuff, thanks for sharing, looking forward for more.

Christian
🙏 thank you so much Sergej!

Neil
Shaping up very nicely indeed. Will follow build 👍

Christian
Thank you Neil, I really appreciate that 💪

Dariusz Swiderski
Love the details! Already looking like an awesome build.

Christian
Thank you Dariusz, but there is absolute no progress since January 🥵
We're too busy by completing our new home.
But I can't wait to get back to modeling 🤩

Mr D
Hi Christian, looking good, bit more room for detail with a helicopter,
I just purchased the Zvezda mi-8 in 1:72.
I want to do a Chernobyl diorama in the winter, with Mi-8 dropping sand and boron on the damaged reactor.. they sell little 3d printed Chernobyl power stations on eBay.
Do you prepare the surface before gluing on PE ? Or just S-glue direct to plastic.?
Thanks for uploading... nice project 😀👍👍

Cristian A
Taking a seat. 😊

Christian
@Mr D Thank you man! I'm only degreasing the PE with brake assembly cleaner before gluing. The initial idea was to do a Vietnam Era diorama, with HH-53, AH-1 and UH-1. But that idea requires time to do modelling, so at the moment, sadly, there is no room for that. Maybe later that year.

@Cristian A, you're welcome Mate ✌️

Taking a seat for the build!
