And mine 

Thx for watching my tries ...

One problem is the original keel ,  I have to cut it of and close it for a better shape and look , just like many small details on the downside . Unfortunately i saw this after fixing the parts  together .   Before it would be much easier to do .

Than I have to change the props into Jet engines .

It would be fine to have some 1:72 torpedoes on the outside , but I do not have anything like that in my collection .

Landing gear would be no question, these types of ,,Atlantic Multijet engines" running well in and out of the water , so,the Seeadler could land direct offshore .

I am so lucky to have one fine Me 262 canopy left from some earlier projects 
you may know that it is not possible for me to build anything without a piece of the 262 on it ...

Okay, two free days to go, but also have to do a lot work in house and our small homerecording studio, if I do not connect my wife's vocal recording units it would become a very bad end for me ....

All social Pentecost dates are done very well yesterday , fleamarket with family , fine Italian dinner , cycling with my love , and also the big summer party of my workplace ( which i visit just every fifth year or so ) .  All done in a 9 hour job !
No on will see me until next Tuesday   

No Land Rover Action this weekend, we better do that when other people went to work... 
Oh ,yesterday  I found a sweet diecast WMIK Defender in perfect condition on the fleamarket, a perfect present for my best buddy .

Engines build , Cockpit ready , all parts together ... Just some more putty and sanding tomorrow .Look is very sharp ...

I don't like weapons but I imagine this is a nice perfume sprayer...

If it is not a perfume sprayer, in some timelines, the canopy needs to be pretty strong (I think).

I paint the half of the pattern by hand yesterday in RLM 65 , which went very well after a bit of universal thinner in the vintage revell color ...

Today after work i switch into speed Mode and put a oliv green from a 20 year old MONTANA Rattle can  on it . Masking with green frog tape is good !!

When removing the Tape  ALL paint stay on the surface , please notice that there is no primer under the color , just the Chrome effect spray !   And the precious Marabou clear mat .

I believe the montana green need some days for drying , than i will try some careful sanding .
