He-219 "Uhu" Groupbuild

Christian Meyerhoff
Na prima!
Das sieht doch schon sehr gut aus!

Holger Kranich
Well es sind halt nur Anfänge... Aber der Revellkit baut sich soweit ganz gut!

Christian Meyerhoff
Na dann hau mal rein!

Holger Kranich
Time, what is time...😢

Holger Kranich
Naja, ich hoffe ja insgeheim das ich heute Abend vllt. mal ein Stündchen...:8

Holger Kranich
Finished the paintjob of the seats last night, so its time for the HGW Seatbelts! A kit in a kit, i´m looking forward to get driven crazy when assembling them😄

Hanno Kleinecke
Sach mal, kriegst Du nicht langsam ganz schöne Kopfschmerzen vom ewigen Kopfstehen ? 🙂
Good start on that owl !

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Holger ist der Weltmeister des aufgeräumten Basteltisches! Da muss man nichts suchen und wir bekommen schneller Ergebnisse zu sehen😉

Holger Kranich
Thx!😄
Manchmal steht hier eben alles Kopf😢
Die Geschichte meines Basteltisches -ist eine Geschichte voller Mißverständnisse. Entweder er ist klinisch (meißt nur zu Anfang eines Projektes) oder es sieht aus wie Sau...

Holger Kranich
Just worked on the HGW seatbelts. Nice detail but hard to work with when it's your first time...😢

Christian Meyerhoff
Holger das sieht richtig gut aus!

Holger Kranich
Thanks a Lot! Looking forward to give it a wasch to bring out the textile structure

Christian Meyerhoff
Well, I don`t think that a wash is needed. If this was mine I would leave it like it is. There were no old UHU`s But the choice is Your`s for sure.

Holger Kranich
Thanks Mike! Very fiddely and i was cursing a lot because of my fat fingers and the small pe. I only recommend those Belts for 1:32 not smaller!

Holger Kranich
This fabric is an interesting material. Ist very flexible and there is no comparison to pe´s!
What i dont like are the instructions. They are way not clear! You still Need to check your references😢

Acki
At last you made it mate!😉
Well done Holly!

Holger Kranich
Yeah Acki, and i´m actually making the rest of the belts. But it cost some nerves...😉

Es-haq Khosravi
Is your bench untidy?!! You should see mine! LOL

Christian Meyerhoff
Well Holger... As I can see you are struggeling with small details and it looks very nice so far. It all starts small. but will become big when finished. Good luck Mate! Excellent work so far!

Holger Kranich
Thx!

Holger Kranich
Panel is finished so far, im one step further🙂

Holger Kranich
Now some drybrushing is required...

Kim Branders
👍

Chris Parsons
Looking good, keep it up

Es-haq Khosravi
Great job! The seat belts look great!

Holger Kranich
Thx mates! It's fiddely but in the end it's rewarding😢!

Soeren R.
The cockpit looks beautiful! 🙂

Holger Kranich
Soeren, thx a lot!🙂

Chris Parsons
Better than having the kagero book, I'm just going to copy your model, how can I go wrong
Looks great, you have much patience installing individual instrument decals, ok I'll try that too

Chris Parsons
By the way, are you, and if so, how are you dealing with the props? I'm hoping to just load them with filler and sand them to shape.

Holger Kranich
Hi Chris!
Thank ya very much! The Instrument decals are quite nice to deal with. Some Future under and Set & Sol over them and they obey, so far!😢
Regarding the props, i'm confused. On some pix, the kit props look decent, on some reference they do not. I'll decide what to do when i work on them...
I am graceful that you like my work, so far! 😄

Holger Kranich
Hi Mike! I´m glad you like the Pit! 🙂

And yes, i heard about Megadeth´s new release😄 And do you know that they are going to re-record "Killing is my Business.." with the actual line up?😢😢

Holger Kranich
I´m really looking Forward!

Es-haq Khosravi
Great job Holy! Was Uhu getting benefit of ejection seats?

Holger Kranich
Jep Essi, the first, in series build aircraft with bang seats!

Chris Parsons
Or in this case whoosh seats?

Holger Kranich
Whoosh seats? You mean a toilet? LOL 😄

Kerry COX
Wonderful attention to your detail Holger, and I was thinking that the rest will be just as stunning. 🙂
Congratz mate. 👍

Christian Meyerhoff
Holger dat ward watt! Moi!

Sebastian Schl.
Wuuhuuuu du uhuuuuu. Denk dran das Du auf einer Insel lebst auf der begrenzt Platz ist. Uhu in 32... Naja hast ja nen großen Schuppen (-;

Holger Kranich
I´m very pleased to read that dudes! THX!😄

Chris Parsons
I read it too... Just didn't understand it, dam my unilanguage

Holger Kranich
What do you mean, Chris? Maybe i can translate it for you?

Holger Kranich
Christian M. wrote in a Special North german Accent called "Plattdeutsch" (Flatgerman). He said that the Uhu will become nice.
And Sebastian Schl. wrote me that i should be Aware that i´m living on a small Island in the North sea and my Uhu is in a big scale. He is afraid that i dont have so much space to Display it. But he meant it ironic😢

Christian Meyerhoff
Jo! 🙂

Chris Parsons
Ha ha ha... Was the uhu carrier qualified?

Holger Kranich
LOL, he had to be to land here😢

Christian Meyerhoff
Well Chris... From time to time I use this language when talking to people who are living in the same area of Germany as me. I like to use it because You can say much without using too many words and it's simpel.
@ Holger: Will You translate this please:
Se wulden de Bullen de Büddel afbinden, se kunnen so gau dat Tau nech finden😉

Acki
Wat de een sien Uhl, is de anner sien Nachtigall.

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Nice cockpit !

Sebastian Schl.
What is ones eagle uwl, is the nightingale of the others?

That is on perfekt example. This is a german "Spruch" haha. i dont know if it is possible to say this in english. My personal englisch is sowieso under all pig. That makes me so fast nobody after...

Sorry. when did the next pictures arrive??
kind regards

Chris Parsons
Your english is 100% better than my German

Roland Sachsenhofer
Quite nice cockpit, Holger- especially the seat belts are really stunning!

Rui S
Looking Great, Holger.
Keep it coming...

Holger Kranich
Guys You are all so kind! You push my Motivation and that feels quite good!🙂
No Christian, i dont translate it, it's against the good taste😄
Today i made a BIG step, look at the comparison of the Beer and the fuselage halve😢

Christian Meyerhoff
Well Holger I can understand this, it's hard to translate...🙂 Everage modellers like me use fishing weights to prevent their model from being a tailsitter. Did You use bullets?😉 Nice cockpit btw.

Kerry COX
Stunning progress Holger, just as I would expect from you and the fuselage/beer image is a graphic way of making the comparison.
But the bullets worry me, as I am wondering if there will be that much room to get the weight you need, or I will suggest getting some 12 gauge shotgun ammo and use the pellets with some superglue and fill the space with that. :-O maybe. ??

Stephan Ryll
looks like 9x19 ammo - like the UZI had

Chris Parsons
Thats one heavily armed owl...Oh come on somebody had to say it

Kerry COX
I was going to mention "calibre", but the calibre of his work speaks for it's self. LOL 👍😭(🙂)

Holger Kranich
@ Christian: If i had fishing weight´s, i would have yoused them but in this case only bullets where available...

Kerry, i was thinking about using 12 gauge slugs, but they didnt fit in the fuselage/engine nacelle. So i took what i found...😢 The bullets have a lot of grains, i hope it will be enough

Stephan, you got it😢

Chris: Yep someone had to say it! And you will be surprised how heavy the Uhu will be armed in the end...😢

Thank you all for the nice and helpful comments! You are the best!😄

soheil moghisi
Perfect

Chris Parsons
Hey Holger how's the owl progressing? No pictures/ posts in a while.

Arne Greve
Dam, Holger! Great work, super painting and scratching!

Efthymios Chatzopoulos
The cockpit is very realistic. Especialy the instruments panel. It is a large-scale aircraft for which I am very impatient to see it completed.

Holger Kranich
Thx very much dudes! 😄
I had a Lot of Party the last few days but hope to find time to carry in today!????????😢

Kerry COX
Animal. 🙂 🙂 🙂 (Party)

Christian Bruer
Wow, very nice details and realistic paint work. Looking forward to your progress when party time is over🙂

Sven Doe
That's a interesting project, so I take a place.... 🙂

arne vd burg
Stunning cockpit Holger.

Kerry COX
I should be doing something about my build, as I have had some major distractions, but they are gone now.🙂
Like Arne said, the cockpit is a most stunning item Holger, and the fuselage compared with the beer bottle really brings home the size of it. !!! 🙂 👍

Christian Ristits
absolutely fantastic cockpit!

Rui S
Looking Great, Mate. I agree with Christian Ristits. Keep it coming Keep it coming 👍🙂

Holger Kranich
Thank you very much dudes! It is pure fun to work on it!
And I hope I can come close to the finishing in the next meeting week here. It's sometimes of a stealth project now and you will be amazed how it will look like in the end🙂

Choppa Nutta
,...... wow how did I miss this !! looking great Holly 😄

and that is one big bird too, love the bullets for ballast 🙂

Holger Kranich
Is simply had nothing else🙂🙂

Holger Kranich
Thank Choppy!

Choppa Nutta
"I simply had nothing else"

........ "Darling, can you check the ammo crates ? I've run out of ballast" haha 😄

At least your model will literally be fully loaded ! 😄 😄 😄

Kerry COX
Armed to the teeth too. hehehe. 🙂 👍

Rui S
Hahaha great comment Choopa (((😄)))

Holger Kranich
Some progress here... Damn is it huge!

Choppa Nutta
any chance you could use a banana for scale please ?
Cheers😉 😄

Holger Kranich
I used bananas for a long time for comparison but no one like it, so i banned bananas from home😄

Holger Kranich
What about an oyster?

Kerry COX
A golf ball. ?

Choppa Nutta
lol, no wonder bananas are banned in your household if you've been comparing them to your oyster !! 😄

How about a "slice of toast for scale" instead ?😉 😄 😄 )))

Christian Meyerhoff
Well Honey Bunny... this looks very nice!

Thomas Mayer
Great one, Holger! I wonder where you got all those 9mm bullets from? Any leftovers from a bunker? 😉

Clifford Keesler
Damn, that's nice. I finally got that one also.

Holger Kranich
Thanks for your comments guys! Ist a nice kit with only small issues, nothing you cant tackle. 🙂
Thomas, the bullets are from last new year, i dont buy firecrackers and i had my Glock 17 brand new. The 7,65 is from my fathers Walther PPK.

Kerber
Great building so far!

Holger Kranich
Thanks Kerber, get yourself a kit before they are sold out. 🙂

Mike Kryza
...and always a clean workbench... 🙂

Kerber
Oh I'd like it, but..it's too big for my flat...I should finish my 1/72 first...Old Dragon lady...grrrrr...with canopy trouble...

Christian Ristits
Again - Cant stop watching pics of this superior cockpit...watching with interest!

Holger Kranich
Thanks guys, i appreciate your comments very much!🙂

With all the bullets added as weight, i need a crane now to work on it... But the gear seems to be stable enough to hold this big bird!

Andrea Morris
Any progress?

Holger Kranich
Still in the shelf of doom... 😉

Thomas Mayer
Holger, you are almost there! Just a little paint, and voilá! :-D
