My engineer found something that is just about to start. A little project based on a very simple kit which is not so complicated in count all the parts:

So, I guess the base model is known, lets see what my engineer has thought to build from it.

My engineer seems to be very eager to build this one, so he interrupted his vacation and came back. After studying the instructions he began to add the first paint to it:

Seems as if he has modified his working place a bit. More and different paint will follow....

A new project for the new year. And after all this military stuff, lets begin with something more peaceful now.

The kit to start with is the following.

The What-If is very loosely based on a book and this is mainly used as a test for another project I have in mind. As the kit only has very few parts, most is put together already. However, now a lot of sanding and putty is required.

First painting work has already made on it.

That's a real vintage kit.

Such a pity they moulded it in an odd scale, but it was in the era of 'fit the box' models.

Wow....looking good so far ! Such a sleek and sexy bird

After a lot of putty and sanding, the plane now is very....black:

It won't stay this way, now masking is the next job

While there is no progress with the D*** 880, another little planes has left the Flugwerft:

A Hispano Aviación HA-220, a Spanish Ground attack aircraft based on the Hispano Aviación HA-200. This plane first flew in 1955 and was designed by Willy Messerschmitt. Most of the planes were used by the Spanish Airforce until the early 1980s. A few were exported to the UAE and today about 20 of the ~100 planes build are still in flying condition.

The model shows the HA-220 in Spanish services in 1975.

The model is a 1:72 kit from Speical Hobby. It contains several additional PE and resin parts and was quite good to build (altough I do not like the way how the wings are attached). Air brushed with Revel Aqua Color, the kit is build OOB and uses the original decals.

Looking good

nönöbär · January 31, 2016, 05:50:27 AM

Ah, an I forgeot: Again, I did not add enough weight to the nose, so I had to build something form the spare parts box to support the tail....

Now that the Carnival days are over (and a lot of beer consumed during those days), the Flugwerft opens its doors and releases a little plane: A Henschel Hs 123 ground attack plane in colors of the Spanish Civl War:

It's preparing for take off on a airfield somewhere in Spain.

This is an old Airfix model in 1/72 but despite of its age, it was quite good to build. Make OOB, it was painted with Revell Aqua Color, using the original decals.

That's nice. Good job.

NARSES2 · February 14, 2016, 08:04:31 AM

Yup nice build. I built that kit a year or so ago and really enjoyed it despite it's age.

Must admit I do like that pre War 3 colour splinter
