Welcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.

Nathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch

Welcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.

Working on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.

Looking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.

Thanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁

Welcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…
16 August, 17:41

Nathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.

In this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.

Nathan, are you going to put kill markings on it?

Well my printer is dead, but my dad has a similar one so I'm going to try… Wish me luck.

The second color has been applied. Slow going here as my workbench time has been lacking.

Thanks Dutch! Today I masked off the areas for the gloss black. The tan colored areas are quite small, but they're everywhere. Tamiya tape stock is going up!!
26 August, 17:32
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Well my gloss black was solidified, so flat black will have to do. Hopefully it will all even out when the clear is applied

Scratch-Built Dutch Canal House (Harlingen)![View album, image #2 View album, image #2](/albums/img/2/7/4/1791274-140073-81-720.jpg)
Ditched the foamed PVC for XPS. Carving bricks into the facade.

The foamed PVC was a nice medium that I'm sure I'll find a project for, but for now I just found scribing and cutting just a bit too fiddly to get right. That's more of a skill problem than a problem with the material. But I have a hot wire cutter that makes very quick work of foam, and the brick carving process is far more enjoyable for me on XPS.

Cool subject, as a resident of Arnhem this is special to me 🙂Although you show some great craftsmanship, this sort of houses aren't typical for Arnhem. These houses are more appropriate for Amsterdam. If you look at pictures of Arnhem and Oosterbeek from 1944 you will see more houses build in in the 1800s, and stately houses.
Just to let you know, in case you want your diorama to be historically correct.
I don't want to rain on your parade!

Thanks Jan. I need to update the project it's attached to. I'd already decided that it wouldn't be going into the Market Garden diorama given the regional architecture inaccuracies you pointed out.
I modeled this after houses on the canal streets in Harlingen after spending some time there (and elsewhere around Fryslan).

By the way, I cycled the fietselfstedentocht this last year. You have a beautiful country.

Friesland is very nice indeed, I've spent some holiday time there as well 🙂
Some typical architecture may be found here:
martijnreinders.com/..j-het-museum-arnhem/
It is in Dutch, but Google Translate may sort that out.
These kind of buildings are typical for many areas where fighting took place.
Also note the fences, these are also very common (many are still there, even today) I will try and find some more websites with pictures of the area, and share them here.

Here's some more information.
liberationroute.com/../3/the-war-in-arnhem
This site is in English too.
The hospital is where I was born by the way, many moons ago 🙂 It has now been converted into apartments.

Massively helpful, thank you Jan! And very cool. You live in a beautiful place.
I'll end up scratch building a different structure for Market Garden that's a bit more regionally appropriate, architecture-wise.
For this project, I couldn't get over how much I liked the architecture of the canal houses, and ended up starting there instead of a proper Market Garden-esque house or building.

I've done quite a bit of research on the Frisian resistance as I have a relative that was arrested and executed for being part of it.
I'll end up making this house as part of a liberation of Harlingen vignette, I believe. That Liberation Route site has been a good resource on that research, and I'll be putting together something around the Canadians and Dutch Resistance taking back the area. It'd have been the 7th Reconnaissance Regiment Duke of York's Royal Canadian Hussars that had first contact with the occupying forces, at the time, so I'll likely include a Humber or Staghound or Universal Carrier.

You're welcome.
Cool subject switch, especially if it has some family history included.
I'll be following this 👀
