Next step ....IMG_20230119_154304.jpg
Cool !
It was a real big project , but together with my wife i put it together in 48 hours . It is just no.1 of its kind , we need to do many more ( but got no kits anymore ... ) .
It is the 262 XTA ( Tank Attack ) with a tank gun in underside pod .

The Zwilling version of the X-wing 262 is even more impressive: ;)

You need to add something like R2D2 behind the cockpit :)

There is NO more space behind the Cockpit. Next one will be a single seater again .
Camo Paint was a pain .
Girl came with Isopropanol to took the color of and it turned all into something good .
I like that realy rotten Moebius space war style .
Also the big gun is finally installed . Get it further today with clear coating and decals .

Looking forward to the livery. ;D
Same here Dizzy..the final result is gonna be worth waiting for I think ;D
Spending hours with a box of + 100 year old decals from any kind of plane and unknown condition, some work well, some where crap .
We also printed our first own decals for the major sign . They work perfect, printed with a Laserprint.

Beware of blast ! IMG_20230129_150229.jpg
The silvering is not so heavy as it looks on the pics, it ist also coated with clear varnish .
I think about a washing with a light Color , maybe yellow or something like that.
Any suggestions are welcome , that is my very first Modell with that amount of aging , I like it very well but think there could be done everything better ...

Freakin' WOW!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
This is looking very good. :thumbsup:
Hey folks, thank you very much for your comments, that is nice to read for me . In Germany buildings like that are not so much on the fashion side , here they are more on the rivet counting side , so I am very happy to found this forum .
Fantastic and funny inspiration !
Next one is started today , monday job was cancelled in the morning, so i got one day more free ( also just work 3 -4 days per week) .
I got a bunch of 262's to do, this will be another X Wing so i stay in this thread ..
First thing was to chop the fuselage, it is a bit wide i think , the wings should be done backwards so i cut out a lot underside to make it slim .
Check picture with the standard wing set, it is 6 mm smaller in the middle in 1:72 .
This is the first time i try miliput .
Also the engines were changed with that , good for construction .
Wings are ready, engines ok , body is together. Good result for the day one i think !

:thumbsup:
This gonna be very sharp ... I am very happy, started just 24 hours before and will fix the complete wings this evening !

Murphy was here , that old bloddy f......r :banghead:
Everything went very well , all parts ready for the big wedding , the complete plane is ready sanded with 1000 wet paper !
I build one wing double, so the shape between wing and fuselage was complete opposite WRONG 180° .
I have to fill up the gap with 2 layers of sheet ( i got only B class stuff from the very old MARUT Vacu Kit ) , but in the end it would be okay , just need one hour in full Speed work modus more and i hate mistakes like that .

I am not shure how long i can do that X Wing stuff , the fixing of the wings is always very difficult and you have to watch every side and angle again and again .
But this seems allright in the end , just place it in the Workshop on the very hot compressor for speed drying and went over to grill station get some fries and German sausage as reward for that stress .
