I started a few days ago. first I buied a new Airbrush. -> Fengda BD 205 wit 0.2mm exhaust.
Then I brushed the Cockpit Parts with RLM 66. The same also to my Arado 234 and Fw 190 A/ which will be my next Projects

Hier habe ich mal einen kleinen Bericht über die Haarspray-Methode verfasst. Ich erkläre es mal anhand der B-26. Bevor ich an die B-26 ging, suchte ich mir einen Versuchsträger. Diesen fand ich in einem alten unvollständigen Me-109G Bausatz von Revell. Also alles in Alclad Gloss Black lackieren (siehe oben). Dann wird alles mit Alclad 2 Duralumininum lackiert:

Nachdem alles trocken ist, wird das Alclad mit normalem Klarlack versiegelt, wenn der Klarlack durchgetrocknet ist kommt das Haarspray zu Einsatz. Nun warten wir ein wenig, bis alles trocken ist, ja Modellbau ist eben keine Husch-Husch-Arbeit, man braucht Geduld.

Nun lackieren wir alles in Olive Drab, und wie immer lassen wir es trocknen

Danach nehmen wir uns einen feinen Borstenpinsel und etwas Wasser und reiben vorsichtig die Olive Drab Farbe wieder ab:

Jetzt mal an der B-26:

Gloss Black

Duraluminium

Wenn es fertig ist, sollte es so aussehen. Ich habe es probiert und finde die Methode richtig gut.

The last 3 Pics ( and the other ones too, I belive.. ) are the from the model made by Julien Hacoun. Absolutely awesome what he did !

I 'm not positive without digging way back into 70s WING/AIRPOWER however this seems to be the one from the former WILLOW GROVE NAS collection. Somewhere I have the notes to the captured long cannon nosed one and I have the kit which I recall as MPM stashed away. The decal manufacturer really missed all the typeface character of the 777. ..that is a pity! On the other hand you have dome a nice job capturing the overall feel of the original. Nice model for the collection.

Last Photo uploaded is the Cockpit almost finished. Just missing belts and a little fixing. Even worse is the wrong assembled Joystick. It broke when I fixed it after dismounting from sprue. And as I see now, head of the stick points right, right would be ahead ! :-/

OK, Canon bay ready to washing, Cockpit ready. I marked the "sheet border" with Parker Edding 3000 Permanentmarker, in German called Filzstift. Let's see how it looks like if finished. Almost forgot, I used Tamiya surface "Grundierung" type fine for fuselage Panels and Wings. And same as RLM 66, I "surfaced" my Arado and FW 190 too 🙂 I think, I will use it for every modell.

Canonbay assembled and mounted, cockpit mounted, gearbay mounted and prepared, whashed and with silk coat sealed. I'm surprised how bad the fotos of them are. Most of them I discarded, the last ones are the "best ones", I have to take new before assembling the both fuselage parts.

Now, in autumn 2022 I will have more time to continue, In the last two month I learned more about fill and stopping the fuselage. And this really you need to do on this modell. I not often saw a modell that has so poorly fitting parts. For this I'm also training on my other 262 which I'm renovating parallel.

New photos added, grinding and filled also my existing Me 262. I decided to restore it and make a new version. I also decided to mount the primer of AK on both models and then make a new preshading with the airgun. I also added photos of the grinded and filled machines.
