Thank you Nicolas and welcome!

The glider series, no engines again on this one I guess. I keep thinking on building mine with engines on. So it's nice to follow your great builds ?

Robert Podkoński
Taking a front row seat 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
I'm on the next one...

Alec K
I'm in the back…

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you- and feel welcome!

Mark K
Watching, too.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you Mark!
The following pictures give a few impressions of the still very rudimentary G-242 fuselage. The granules in the "coal cellar" in the front of the nose should bring the necessary weight to avoid a "tailsitter". It consists of a kind of ground lead; I tried not to touch it when spooning it in and not to breathe! 🙂
The interior of the fuselage will be further detailed, the three windows in the bow will all be reworked with paint- I decided to build that well-known Go with "shark mouth".

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic start, Roland. Installing the instrument panel on the front window frame must have been nerve shaking...

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you Robert! I can report: it was not such a challenge with "Microscale Kristal Klear".

Roland Sachsenhofer
A few assembly steps further. Did I mention that the fit of the parts is quite good?

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Roland - I think for me it would be a challenge, I know Kristal Klear and it is setting slowly. BTW, have you ever tried any of these UV setting glues? They work really good, are transparent and are setting in few second under the UV LED light.

Cuajete
Nice start.
Following!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Dusty, colourful, freshly filled and sanded: but the surfaces are now ready for a first round of RLM 65! The white tail band is already prepared - unfortunately hardly visible in the pictures - to be masked now.

Olivier
One of my favourite flying machines. Why the lead ? It is a tail sitter (or am I wrong ?)

Roland Sachsenhofer
Olivier, I've checked it now, you're absolutely right - and I've now made the thing a "bow-seater"! Well, I'd say that went unusually wrong 🙂) I don't know how yet, but a solution will be found.
I think I was wrongly influenced by the pictures of the wheeled B-version.
In any case, thanks for the clarification!

Roland Sachsenhofer
A few impressions of the more or less finished exterior. Now the question arises, how do I get a correct shark mouth? I think I know one possible answer....

Cuajete
Nice painting 👍

Daniel Klink
And the next one...following for sure!👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you Cuajete and Daniel, motivating!
The clever plan for the "shark's teeth" part I and II: the taping was more fun than expected- and the preliminary resulting monster with the red smeared mouth looks somehow more scary than the final result, doesn't it? 🙂

Cuajete
This Gotha seems "Gothic" 😛
Fantastic masking job!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Gotha-Gothic! splendid!
Thank you mate!

Cuajete
😄 👍

David Taylor
Getting its grin on.

Roland Sachsenhofer
yes, and I smile back:
just removed the stencils- looking forward to showing you pictures of the outcome tomorrow!

David Taylor
Aww.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Aww!
The covers have come off - and the Go-242 shows the photographer its best smile, or let's say it tries to. Minor imperfections are repaired during the last step, the application of a black decal strip framing the dentures.

Torsten
The sharkmouth looks great, 😎 work 👍
Wondering how many kits you make in short time, awesome

Juergen Klinglhuber
👍 👍 👍

David Taylor
Yeey.

bughunter
What is that looking at me so angry? 👍

Cuajete
Well done!

matt
very well done, some spectacular masking!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you mates for all these encouragement! Tomorrow a black lip liner will be applied...

Roland Sachsenhofer
Last construction photos: the surfaces are basically finished, the first "false" pair of eyes, which can be seen in the original photos, was painted on with a dry brush - and now the application of the decals and the application of the large eyes on the rearmost, uppermost cockpit windows is still pending.

Guy Rump
Looking good 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you mate!

Roland Sachsenhofer
The Gotha Go-242 has indeed been completed! The last steps of construction did not bring any major news, but also no more difficulties. I am happy that the project with the completely masked shark's mouth worked out as I had imagined. Actually even better! The four eyes were finally all painted with a dry brush.
The last photos of the assualt glider assembly are also a kind of conclusion to my personal "theme of the year" - at least in 1:72 scale! It is quite interesting to see such a size and shape comparison 🙂 By the way: all but one of the models were made by Italeri in the 60s and 70s, hats off to the Italians for this beautiful -past- model policy!

Thank you all for your interest, motivating remarks and...."Likes"!

Mark K
Absolutely delightful result! Thanks so much for sharing the build with us.

Neuling
I agree with Mark. - Roland, I really enjoyed your theme of the year. I always had wanted to see these Italeri kits built by an expert.

Robert Podkoński
I agree with Mark and Neuling here. Fantastic!

Olivier
Excellent photo 47 !

bughunter
The undercarriage is really interesting with skids and wheels! Great project!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much for your encouraging and motivating feedback, friends, it means a lot to me! Olivier, I'm glad you like the DFS 230 and Go-242 duet!

Guy Rump
Superb build Roland, really like photo 48 👍

Olivier
Ach Roland, I like all your gliders but the 'shark' going after the tiny DFS is just another level.

Alec K
Those glider group photos are great 👍

Cuajete
Fantastic result, Roland.
Very nice comparison with all planes.
Congrats!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Again, thank you for your comments! I am very happy when the theme and the implementation are so well received.

Cristian Stieringer
as always a great model from you Roland i read the report in the aircraft magazine today about the Go-242 you must also read. the report has captivated me from the beginning see you soon then

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your words and for the hint; for sure I may say!

Curatorm
Very nice model! Impressed by the paint work for the shark mouth.

Roland Sachsenhofer
I'm glad to hear that, thank you for your words!

Marc Verlot
Hi Roland, starting the Italeri 1/72 242 A or B. Can I come to you for some advice and tips?

Spanjaard
looks fantastic

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Neuling
Top work. An eyecatcher!

Markus Antonius
Nice to see a grey usaf starfighter built!

F-104
Thanks everybody for your comments 🙏

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful!

Ray Loch
Looks Great, the Hasegawa kit is still excellent and your stencil work is top notch.

scalemates
Not exactly what you asked for, but this was implemented (+/-)
1) you can now move paint to the "Gone" tab. If it is 0% you can mark it as "trashed"
2) when showing "state info" in the overview you will see the red/orange/green indicators based on the % remaining

Wouter
Perfect!

Doubtingmango
Very well done! What are your thoughts on the kit?

Filip
Thank you.
Considering it's age, it's not as bad as I was expecting. I didn't come across any major fitting issues, but individual parts need to be cleaned from a lots of excessive plastic. But the manual is just terrible. Sometimes I wasn't sure how the parts were supposed to fit together. Decals are surprisingly good.

gorby
Nice result.

Doubtingmango
👍🏻

Marc .
Looks great!

Spanjaard
excellent dynamic representation! beautiful models, i love it. how did you do the shoots?

Spanjaard
sea is pretty good too

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic!

Pepe
Fantastic job!!!

Greg Baker
Oh, very nice work! I love it!

gorby
Excellent diorama!

Ray Loch
excellent idea on the bullet streams, have not seen that technique before, looks great.

Ist das Geld angekommen 😊

René "Lord Bilbo" Bartholemy
Das Geld ist gut angekommen, aber du hast bei MR deine Adresse noch nicht angegeben.
Normalerweise hast du einen Bericht von denen bekommen, mit einem Link um deine Adresse usw selbst anzugeben.
Falls das aus irgend einem Grund nicht klappt, dann schicke mir bitte deine Adresse hier zu u d ich regel das selber...

Lovely job!

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here.

Alex K
Joining Robert.

Mr D
Nice interesting kit, like it. Not heard of the brand.
I've just started a Beriev be-6

Łukasz Gliński
Cool topic, lovely finish 👍

Ben M
👀

Doubtingmango
Beautiful work!

gorby
Lovely work, beautifully photographed!

Michael Kohl
Love them inflight photos.

Zbynek Honzik
Łukasz, don't forget to fix the air inlet to the APU. It is incorrect in the shape of the NG series, but Max has a "door" there. Check the photo: airliners.net/photo/..c6N9hoGLHvP6rGN2s%3D. Fingers crossed.👍

Łukasz Gliński
Velke diky, I haven't spotted it indeed.

Gary Kitchen
Hi Lukasz looking good and following with interest.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome Gary, glad to have you here 🙂

Thomas Kolb
Looks super neat! You are getting all better at spraying glossy white! And, well if you look at real airliners, you can indeed see some panel lines, so heresy, no.

Łukasz Gliński
Well, if you look closer it's not that nice anymore. I hope top coat will level it anyway. Thx

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Still looks pretty smooth. 👍

Spanjaard
looking really nice

Łukasz Gliński
Thank you mates.
I went on to decalling today and already noticed some GioDecal errors 🙁
- no Buzz logo for inner side of the engines
- no '8200' label in front of the front gear well

Łukasz Gliński
More findings:
- poor plain grey windows (skipped them, used the Zvezda frames for Max and NG)
- black door hinges, actually barely visible - thrown into the dustbin
- black imitation of the rudder hinge on the bee's face is mirrored (the left side decal has it where the right one should and vice versa)
- poor rudder shape fit
- poor sharklet fit, painted the lower yellow section instead
- too small underside registration
- too tall front door

Neil Patrick
Very nice Lukasz. I don't do civil aircraft but this looks fab to me!

Łukasz Gliński
Thx Neil, I have to admit I made so many errors in such a simple kit that I surprised myself 😉

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Sometimes there is a kit where a lot of stuff guys wrong, mate. It sill looks great, in my opinion.
What's with the whiskers? Bees don't have them. 😄

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks, I appreciate the support 🙂
I assume these are some sort of pitot tube equivalents.
Perhaps even for the infamous MCAS, who knows?

Nathan Dempsey
Interesting livery. Nice build Łukasz.

Gary Kitchen
Despite the challenges, it's a fabulous finish Lukasz 👍

Alec K
Nice work Lukasz, and very interesting livery 👍

Łukasz Gliński
I have finally reached the end of this flight 😉
Not my best build, but hope you like it.
I just found out I forgot to wash the front wheels, I might come back to it at some point in time, but I need a break from this project 😄

Simon Nagorsnik
Nice looking decals😄

Robert Podkoński
Looks really good, Łukasz! Do not be so harsh to yourself... 😉

Łukasz Gliński
Too mamy errors made on the way - much more happy with your comments 😋

Spanjaard
You may think is not your best, but it looks awesome

Alec K
Looks damn good to me 👍

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Looks very good, Lukasz. 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks you Mates - added some more pics today, so you can behold all the errors I made 😛

Andrew P
Beautiful work!
Thanks for sharing.

Michael Kohl
I didn't cross check with the original of course, and what I see pleases my eye. I like your birdie.
