New project

[Sisko]

Well it is sunday night here and I am getting up at 4am(ouch) to catch a plane to sydney for two weeks.

Two weeks without modeling you say!!! Not likely I have gotten modeling on the road down to a fine art. The night maus that I posted a couple of weeks ago was built last time I was in Sydney.

I have a small tool kit that fits my most commonly used tools and a plastic lunch box to place my kit into.

This trip I am working on some thing a little bigger. I am doing some more work on my He-222 which is my four engined varient of the He-111. This is one of those it seemed like a good idea at the time projects. I started thisd kit 2 years ago and i have decided that it time to finish this puppy.

This kitbash has taken two zwillwing kits and a lot of scratchbuilding to get the desired results.

If people are interested I will post some pics as a kind of online build.

Below is the last pic I took some 12 months ago.

Sisko, cool project...oddly enough, I was watching a show of the german attempt to take over britain's skies last night, and one of the things that they mentioned was the need for a four engined bomber...either a larger version of the 88 or 111...and then here you are, seven hours later, posting pic of the very plane!
  Yep, I for one, would love to see the "in progress" shots...always been my favourites !

What, are you serious?!  Yes---pics please!!!  Seeing other people's progress shots is what keeps me going on my own.

Here is the first pics

I have extended the fuselage forward and rear. I have had to make a new front section in order to exend which I am currently fitting out I should have a photo tommorrow.

I have to fill in the fillet on the wings and Get rid of some of the windows in the main cabin.

Stay tuned.

Pic number two.

As you can see I not quiet finished yet.

Looking good.  It looks like you're extending the fuselage, too.  I can see where that would be necesary.

That's going to be quite a model when finished.

Nazi stuff ain't my thing, but that looks like a fine piece of kitbashing you've got going on there

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Nothing to update today.

Still sanding and filling. I am going to fill in the fillets on the wings tonight so I should have some updated photos for you soon.

This is the photo showing the extension piece that I made to extend the forward Fuselage.

Hello Wooksta.

You are definitely right about the fit.

I was going to increase the fin area, I was thinking of a larger tail plane but the twin fin is something that I had not considered thanks.

I have the necessary kits to scratch build a Ju-488 but evertime I do a project like this the enthusiasm dissappears.
