I've filed that, thanks for the link. 

I notice he doesn't have a section on brush painting though....................

I've been tarting up the cockpits of a trio of 141s, using a photo of the Hobbyboss 48th kit as a template. Mind, it's almost pointless as you can see sod all through the canopy.  I'll post a photo later.

As promised.

Nice work Lee.   

Just some basic card to liven it up.

But it still adds something. Even the suggestion of detail is better than the not-very-much they give you in the box.

There's some odd shaped magazine holders that should be there, plus a tube leading down from the upper gun, but I think I've really done enough. Just the observer's seat to go onto the rails and I have a resin one that's ideal.  The pilot's seat is crap and bears no resemblance to the real thing, but as two were already in, I just went with it. 

You can go too far down this rabbithole. I just wanted something a tad better.

A TRIO of 141s?   

Are we expect some in Spanish markings then?

[The Wooksta!]

Two are, the third will be captured but I'm undecided as to a scheme.

Three does sound a bit much, but one is a salvage built originally in 1993 and the other was built 20 years ago and stalled.  Getting some of the bits into the cockpit was challenging.

What about something along the lines of a Bf-110 Night Fighter scheme?
Idea is that it was a project involving a camera aircraft accompanying said Night Fighters to film them downing the Bomber Scourge; thrilling 'Wagemut' for the masses in the Kinos.

[The Wooksta!]

Actually, given that the Fw 189 was used as a nightfighter against Po 2s, one with radar in a nightfighter scheme isn't too much of a stretch.  See also Siebel Si 204 and He 111.

[Rick Lowe]

I'd forgotten that (if I ever knew it...) - yeah, it would have been slow enough to have a better chance of keeping up (down?) with them.

Maybe one used by the French in Indochina, against the Viet Minh's Po 2s?
Or in South Korean markings, ditto?

Dragging this thread back to its roots  the panel lime scribing on the 148 has gone as far as it's going to go now. It's too  much of a fiddle to do any more when the wings and tail keep getting in the way of my heft hands.

I'm also, sloooooowly, getting the masking tabs in place on the cockpit glazing but it's a mind numbing task.

I've also almost got the fairing done aft of the cockpit, just a bit of PSR (famous last words....) to do and I can start painting the fuselage.
