Yup have to admit I find Tamiya Tape the best I've tried

Well, all camo colors are now painted and the masking is removed....
Didn't I say yesterday that Tamiya Tape never removed any paint when removing them. Ok, not this time

So it was a "Oh s***" moment. And my engineer now has to think about something to get this all right again.

So, something has to be fixed for the camo:

I don't know if this idea is the best to fix it, as airbrushed colors always look a bit different than painted ones.

Yes, I found that too, but your paint engineer looks as if he knows what he's doing. You'll be OK there.

One other point. It really needs larger fins.

If this is the Do 218A-1 Im sure larger fins will be seen as needed on the B model

Looks good ! Nice to see the hired hand hard at work. I need one of those ! Get everything ready before bedtime and wake up to a painted model ! lol

Somehow, this was the same idea, I had in mind

So lets say this is the A model, and the crews demanded some lager fins for better flight stability. Which were den added in the B model.

If you've the older Revell Condor kit (the 60s rivetty one) use the engines from that for this one - the Bramo 323s are earlier than the BMW801s and would fit a pre war aircraft better.

Alternately, Jumo 211 power eggs from the Ju 88 would be suitable.

I don't know, man!?

I have this strange feeling that "lager fins" are going to have the opposite effect on stability.

Still fixing the issues cause by the masking tape. I hope with the glossy finish on it (before putting on the decals), the different color shades will not be so strong anymore.
So besides correcting the camo, I concentrated on the additional stuff to be added. Like engines, wheels etc.

At least two of the engines are now added, the rest will follow soon.

It's coming along really well, i like the look of that beast!

NARSES2 · December 15, 2014, 07:29:32 AM

This is really looking very good

Captain Canada · December 15, 2014, 09:14:15 AM

Looking good ! Nice to see the bits and the way you are adding them.

Sorry the lager fins comment was originally lost on me....that exchange was too funny !

DogfighterZen · December 15, 2014, 09:43:44 AM

With lager fins, it would probably fly in around in 8s...

While my engineer is getting a bit panic as he has some real trouble with the Do 218 landing gear (pics will follow), the last plane for this year leaves NöNö Bärs Flugwerft. A Czech MiG 17.

This is a KP Model 1/72 scale kit, pretty simple, but quite ok to build. This time I tried to build it with an open cockpit. The model is painted with Revel Aqua Color, using the original decals (which are not the best anymore, but this is a quite old kit)

A group of MiGs, MiG 15, MiG 17 and MiG 21:
