That cotton swab tip really puts it into scale...

If I didn't know different I'd have sworn MichelC had made a 3 x full size cotton swab just to keep us fooled.   

But that model is TINY!

I don't want this build to end, ever!

Does, doesn't it

[MichelC]

Thank you guys! 

Sticky Fingers, sorry but I do have other ideas.  It's home stretch now and I really do wanna get this model finished. I have a small dio in mind for it. It'll include a tractor that's shy, a Major whose Knight's Cross is just one too many to bear and a dog too smart for its own good.  Then I wanna build a few other things, including some MaK stuff. But that'll be after some more Luft 46...

Hello everybody,

Fiddly bits time again, starting with the Quickboost gunsight, which is very good quality btw.



It lacks an anti-crash pad, though. Quickly remedied with a piece of stretched sprue.



The Revi gunsight had two glasses, one of them made of dark glass. A bit of photo film is just the thing (if you can still find some LOL).



For the metallic look I used graphite powder from a lead pencil applied with a brush.









Cheers!

Is that a cocktail stick that the gun sight is impaled on?

No, Kit, that's a toothpick.

Even SMALLER! 

Remember to calibrate the gun sight in Metric units and not in Imperial........

That won't be necessary. This is a trainer and the sight isn't operational, being there for familiarization purposes only.

At least he's not headed to Mars, then.

Scooter,

At least he's not headed to Mars, then.

You know, there's some guys at JPL cursing you now...

Wouldn't be the first time someone from NASA/JPL took my name in vane

This is just crazy.

Also, was going to send this thread to someone to look at and see most of the pics are gone again.  Just the ones of the site and the last thread on the previous page show up for me.
The rest have that annoying Looks who is Popular tag.
