Taking a seat.

Villiers de Vos
Taking a seat as well. I have both these models in my stash.

Edouard Carr
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.

Mr D
Brilliant 👍👍
Great project, Pilots looking menacing 💀💀
Enjoy

Edouard Carr
Cheers Mr D 😉

Mr James
My god that is one impressive model scene. I can see hundreds of layers of work to achieve that amount of distress and decay. Truly amazing work

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!

J35J
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 👍

AndreasK
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
Congrats, the Arado looks great. 👍

CaptGPF
That camo work is wicked! Love it!

Jan Peters
Beautiful work! 👏🏻👏🏻

Guy Rump
Lovely job! 👍

William Joel
Very nice. Amazing detail on the cockpit, looks impressive.
I have 2 old Ar 234 in progress, but the cockpits, or should I say lack of, that came with the kit just don't compare. I did a bit of scratch building, but just so something could be seen.
Question - what size wire did you use for the cockpit?

ΔΠ
Very beautiful model! I really like it, especially the riveting and the cockpit. Did you treat the cockpit windows in any way, or are they straight out of the box? That would surprise me with Revell, to be honest 😉

AndreasK
The canopy had some scratches, so I sanded and polished it a bit.

@William: it is copper wire, but I do not know the size. I will measure it and get back to you.

@all: thanks for the nice comments ❤️

Nicolas
As soon as I finish one of my 3 current projects (2 of them ar nearly done) I will start with this little helicopter.

Nicolas
The build startet this weekend.

Nicolas
As I am covid positive (fortunately only with very mild syntomas) I had some time to build again today. So far I am positively surprised by the accuracy of fit. There are no locator pins, but I can now click the fuselage and cockpit together and even the tail section holds without glue.

Nicolas
I would like to do some rivets on the exteriour, but I couldn't find some good drawings. If somebody has a hint I would be grateful.

Nicolas
Today I started installing the controls. Doing so I noticed, the collectiv controls are missinh in the kit. So I started scratchbuilding them after photos. Also fabricated and installed blinds for the paxes.

Nicolas
Started some work on the exteriour.

Freak
Interesting project! Love the WIP pics and demo of various detailing techniques.

Nicolas
Hi Freak, welcome on board.

Shar Dipree
I have the same kit too. I'm really looking forward to your results. Following. 🙂

Nicolas
Hi Shar, welcome.

Łukasz Gliński
Cool, will watch. Still afraid to start mine 😄

Nicolas
Welcome Łukasz, there is no reason to be afraid. The fit seams quite good, and the missing details is somthin one can improve. 😉

Qwertzel
Sieht gut aus! Nehme auch mal Platz

Nicolas
Moin Quertzel, Danke für das Lob. Noch sind Sitze im Hubschrauber frei. 😉

bughunter
The Colani design is cool 👍 Have fun!
And I hope your covid is gone without bad effects!

Nicolas
Hi Bughunter, thanks.
Covid wasn't to bad, I got 3 day with mild syntomas and 5 days waiting for a negativ test. 😉

Mr D
Done some nice improvements Nicolas... Be worth it, it's good to do this as puts a nice personal touch on it, l need to pick up some card like you have used ( what is it l need to look for ?)
The 2 Revell models l built ...l found the decals took a bit more softening than others models l have done!? the decals said made in Italy....no company name.
Looking good 👍 be nice bright unusual one this 😁

Nicolas
Hallo Mr D and thanks.

You can look for plastic sheets and profiles (tubes, chanels, I-beams, etc,) from various manufacturers like AK or Evergreen or use packing material eg. most blisterpacks. 😉

Guy Rump
Looking good Nicolas, following. 👍

Mr D
Hi Nicolas, doing a good job on the extra detail bits.
Be worth it, you only get to build it once...so worth getting it how you want it.
Nice 👍👍👍

Nicolas
Hallo Guy & Mr D, welcome, have a seat.
Thanks for your compliments.

Kesa Tiho
Very nice build. Ive always been curious though, how do you get such a precise paint job. Especially with the interior.

Nicolas
Hi Kesa, I do most of the interior freehand with a small brush (mostly size 000, but details sometimes with size 10/0) and well diluted paint. You kan put your brushhand onto the hand holding the part to reduce shaking.

Mr D
Looking good Nicolas 👍
Taking good shape now.
What do you use for a primer??
😃👍
