I have waited four months for this moment. The timeconsuming tasks, the patience and the effort were worth it: I am very...

Just look at that winchframe !!! There is absolutely no doubt that after plugging these plugs the winch will be working. As with all your builds, for the watchers the path is the destination.
Wonderful wip pics - keep'em coming…… 🙂 👍

Michael ureol is A kind of foamed plastic. It comes in different degrees of foaming. The more foamed, the softer and lighter.

Hallo sieht genial aus.
wo bekommt man sowas ? habe auch schon versucht sowas zu finden.

Ah, that explaines as well the nice texture the cushions have. Thanks for the info.
And - by the way - as always a pleasure to follow your delicate modelling.

Your are welcome.
Robert: vor paar Jahren habe ich von einem Modellbaubekannten Reste zum probieren gekriegt. Daher musste ich erst mal schauen, wo man das kriegt: eBay hier und da so wie bei Modulor in Berlin.

It was probably difficult to wire all the little rotary switches on the back. I assume that they all work!

![](/profiles/img/118103-264-s.jpg)
Just absolutely fantastic Bernhard, I dont think everyone will appreciate just how difficult all those details you have added are to do. you have achieved what I only dreamed of achieving. I am lost for words with these details. Stunningly beautiful work.

Thank you David, bughunter and Dan for you very motivating comments🙂. The Seaking is meanwhile my favorite helicopter. It was great to see one of them flying over the beach in Boltenhagen: we went on vacation there last year.🙂🙂

I am impressed not only by your skills, Bernard, but also that you are not over-whelmed by the many, many fine details that you are taking on. RESPECT 🙂

![](/profiles/img/16661-726-s.jpg)
Last monday I had the chance to take a very close look on all these masterpiece subassemblies in person - an all new level of depth in detail, even by Bernhard's standards !
These oxygen bottles look as if they were very closely related to 500 pound bombs….. ? 🙂
18 May, 20:01
![](/profiles/img/14143-361-s.jpg)
I'm happy that you like my bottles... 🙂. In fact, I have often used bombs as a basis for various parts. 🙂 This time, however, it is a sprue with a diameter of 4 mm.
19 May, 06:17
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
The level of detail is mad. amongst the best scratch-building I have ever seen on Scalemates.
26 May, 14:27
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
Excellent progress. I like how in Germany, when helicopter model parts get mailed, one just has to write "Bernhard" on the box and it gets delivered to the right person… 😉 😄
27 May, 12:21
![](/profiles/img/16661-726-s.jpg)
I'm out of superlatives ! What can one say - you are constantly exceeding your own standards with this build, and that really says something !
Deeply stunned and impressed by your R.O. workstation !
27 May, 18:33
![](/profiles/img/136876-621-s.jpg)
Well, first test is passed - package arrived. Second test passed looks in good condition. 😋. Now is the real test. How does the builder feel about the parts and are they suitable for this unbelievably excellent project.... time will tell.🍻

JAM-SCREW.How big is your production facilities,you might need bigger premises as your products look great albeit in the hands of a master modeller.
28 May, 14:28

Wow, again every little sub-assembly is a fine model on it's own - fantastic 👍

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.

150 pics and you didn't even close the fuselage. And not a second of dullness. Finest modelling entertainment. 🙂

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.

Der Baufortschritt ist echt sehenswert und beeindruckend Bernhard. Die Bilder vom Innenraum von Dir und Thomas sind toll! Es gibt leider sehr wenig Bilder vom Original und sind eine tolle Vorlage. Vielleicht macht ihr nen extra Walkaround hier. Ich freue mich schon auf die nächsten Bilder.

![](/profiles/img/14143-361-s.jpg)
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.
17 June, 18:24

Very exciting to see what can be achieved with even a very good kit. Commitment and patience wonderful recipe for outstanding success. A pleasure to go along for this journey.

The last big point for interior components is completed: rack for electronic equipment & foldable seat.
26 June, 12:27
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
God God! I'm just amazed how much scratch built detail you put into this build with each passing day!

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.
30 June, 12:13

i really love the details of the rack for electronic equipment & foldable seat.
30 June, 19:07
![](/profiles/img/16661-726-s.jpg)
The lecture continues ! Altough it's a pity to partially hide all these wonderful details in the closing halves, I'm curious !
5 July, 08:12
![](/profiles/img/14143-361-s.jpg)
After completing the engine housing I begun today detailing the bottom.
Just as on the fuselage sides, the equipment on the bottom of the Mk41 is different from the british variants.
10 July, 17:18
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
The level of detailing on this thing is simply too notch. Number of bits you have added must be in the thousands! Masterclass 👍 👍👍
14 July, 12:40
![](/profiles/img/72708-240-s.jpg)
Einfach nur Geil.....hast du jede Niete nachgezählt, Bernhard 👍
Liebe solche Modellbauer da komme ich nicht mit

Sehr schöner Innenraum. Ich liebe deine medizinischen Hilfsmittel. Bin selber im Thema drin und kann keinen Unterschied zu den realen Maschinen feststellen. Echt gute Arbeit!
20 July, 16:58
![](/profiles/img/14143-361-s.jpg)
Thank you for the last wave of such nice comments. I have the last big hurdle to taken: installing clear parts for the cockpit without mess.
Qwertzel: freut mich, dass dir mein Medizin-Equipment gefällt. Du hast erwähnt, dass du selbst sehr dicht dran bist. Hab gesehen dass du auch einen Rettungs Quirl im Bau hast bzw. Eine ganze Menge von Feuerwehrfahrzeugen. Bist du selbst auch im Einsatz? LG B
20 July, 18:26
![](/profiles/img/137072-741-s.jpg)
Ja, kann man so sagen. Bin seit mehreren Jahren bei der freiwilligen Feuerwehr, bei den Maltesern und beim DRK im Sanitätsdienst und Katastrophenschutz. Ab einem gewissen Punkt ist das ganze Rettungswesen eher eine Lebenseinstellung, anstelle eines Hobbys
20 July, 20:23
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
… and they are in place, flawlessly installed. I admire your precision, truly excellent 👍

Thank you Alec: Your comment honors me very much.
Today morning I worked on the nose, installed several parts of SeMa Models And finally the „thing" looks like a Mk41. 🙂

I look at the photos and marvel at the precision and modeling skill. Fantastic, Bernhard! 👏👏👏

With these pictures I open the book report on Roden's Junkers D.1: I tried to extend the interior with some steel wire, the seat belts are from Eduard. For the detailing I downloaded the very interesting building instructions from Wingnut Wings for the large D.1 in 1:32, which is quite helpful if you want to have a good documentation as a basis for detailing. I'm also going to realise one of the WW variants, which I immediately liked: all in Dural/ NMF with only a minimal set of markings.
7 July, 09:03
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Watching!
I have done the short fuselage already, I hope one day I can do the long one too.
Is the engine painting finished? I can recommend the WNW manual for this, still available on WNW page.
8 July, 20:44
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thanks for the tip - it's definitely a good one! The printed WNW instructions are next to me, so I want to use a little oily black on the top of the engine and add a little "brass"... But not only WNW instructions, also your excellent work is my reference.
9 July, 12:35
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
The fuselage of the D.1 is now closed, the only thing to be careful of was not to damage the corrugated sheet metal joints. A related issue arises with the leading edges of the wings: in my opinion, the prototype shows a continuous line around the leading edge.... this will be difficult to depict: I will try to get close to this with careful sanding and the same amount of reworking with a scalpel.
11 July, 07:09
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Yes to clean the wing seem is not that esay. I must admit I used also wings from another kit after I was not happy with the first try. I have both the long and short fuselage kits and the wings are the identical. But that shifts the problem only to a later date, when I will build the long one. A new Part PE set is waiting too 🙂
12 July, 16:49
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thank you for your words, mates! - I completely agree that this is not an easy topic! My approach, which you can see started here, is to work on the front edge of the profile with a triangular file. I didn't even try to bring the corrugated sheet metal runs of the top and bottom together - that would be far too small for me - but simply used the file edge many times.... Well, in my opinion it looks at least a little better now than before, so I'll try to make it a little more precise....
14 July, 08:57
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
The Alclad metal colours mercilessly bring out all the flaws and imperfections, especially when everything has already been trimmed to a high gloss in preparation for applying the decals like here! The Wingnut Wings instructions describe an effect called 'tiger stripes' on the wing sheeting, which I recreated using various aluminium and dural colours.
18 July, 11:56
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
The stripes are great - can be noticed, but both shades still looks like aluminium which it was.
18 July, 14:53
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thank you very much, mates!
The opinion on the 'tiger stripes' really really pleases me in a very motivating way!
18 July, 18:15
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Roland, your model looks very good. I really like the interior of the plane and the engine. Also your rendition of the corrugated sheet metal looks very realistic. 👍
20 July, 14:02
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Ludvik, thank you for this comment, giving me a push to get the finishing steps done!
21 July, 06:54
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
A few steps closer to a finish: working with Roden decals is always an adventure, happy end not guaranteed! The whole thing is spiced up by the corrugated metal nature.... Well, this is the result; I will of touch up up the unclean parts with a brush, but on the whole it will stay like this - now for the signs of use and wear!
25 July, 08:01
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
Thank you! 🙂
The Junkers D.1 is slowly approaching its final appearance - and that didn't work out quite as well as I had imagined! But what the heck, there are some nice things, like the turnbuckles or the two MGs from Gespatch; I'm also happy with the solution for the typical Junkers handles and footrests: a thin, glued-on metal rod was covered with finely cut Tamiya tape as a ridge. Well. I am satisfied with this overall impression.
26 July, 19:22
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
As the work progresses, Junkers grows in beauty. Thanks to decals and small details the model looks better. 👍
26 July, 22:09
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
The Junkers D.1 from Roden is now finished, in a way my corrugated metal test run for the somewhat larger Junkers F.13 from Mikro Mir. There are enough problem areas - and also a few insights into how I can proceed better with the F.13, but even so I am surprised by the 'photogenicity' of the little fighter from the last days of the First World War! The markings, which are limited to the bar crosses and two '11s' on the rear of the fuselage, come from the Wingnut Wings documents; they show an aircraft from October 1918, i.e. shortly before the end of the war. Remarkable (and also a reason for my choice) are the 'tiger stripes' due to different metal panelling on the wings, which show up in the right light. I hope you like the pictures, I really enjoyed building it!
30 July, 15:36
