Added some detail to the gun bay... a little late in the build, but only now it seemed to me that the existing one wasn’t enough

It’s a tail sitter: the Ketten isn’t enough to hold in place, I will have to setup a base and glue it to it
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/5/5/3/798553-29367-84-720.jpg)
Finally base arrived - drilled a one small hole in the base and another in the right wheel, glue with CA a 0,4mm brass tube to the base; now the model can slide in and out of the base, without being glued to it; finished!

I'm in... it seems very familiar somehow... for such a nice little kit, it does take a surprising amount of putty to tame. Great work on the cockpit. I shoved a pilot in there so there really was no point, but it's nice to see the details come out.

Thanks Greg. Yes, I wouldn't expect fit problems from Trumpeter, but in this case there is no way around a generous amount of putty.

I had to hide some LED wires in mine, so I knew there'd be some putty work, but I was surprised because closing the wheel wells wasn't the worst part. The nose bugged me quite a bit.

Yup, I'm surprised as well; after first sanding, moving now to finer Mr. Surfaces 500...

Ola Ricardo. Puseste peso á frente ? Já vi que tb não vais por os Slats abertos.....vim aqui só para chatear grande abraço

Olá Jorge. Não pús porque não há espaço para por, mas o kit traz um Kettenkraftrad a rebocar o avião, presumo que por esse motivo! 🙂

Um Ketten á esc 1/144? Lindo. Eu queria um á esc 1/32 para o meu mas não há.????

Decals applied; a find them a little heavy (contrasted), but they conform very well

wow... that's a very smooth build. I know what this kit has to offer, and you seem to have taken all of it. Nice work!

Thank you; it's almost finished, expect to close this project in the next days...

Thank you Gareth - I went in with another round of scalpel and Microsol, sprayed some MRP Gloss and I'm now waiting for it to fully cure

amazing work in this miniature scale....a break from that beautiful MIG

Thank you Lochsa - indeed, this only took me a few hours to complete so far, even with the scratch made on the gun bay 🙂

Just noticed the scale...wow even more impressive! I've just completed a 144 A-10 Thunderbolt...fiddly!

Got an album of that one Gareth? I'd love to see... I just checked your timeline... the Revell kit?

Excellent work Ricardo. Your process is similar to the one I use. 144 sclae is a challenge for the eyes!! Parabens! abracos

Thank you Micky - I wouldn't say challenging for the eyes... more challenging to the hands! 🙂

It's official: it's tail sitter! The Kettyen isn't enough to hold in place, I will have to setup a base and glue it to it

@Greg...yep the Revell one. I dont think I have any In Progress shots but I do have some of the final build.

Thanks mates, for your kind comments. My little "Sturmvogel" is now finished and the photos are on this album: Me 262A-2a | Album by RReis (1:144)

Excellent Me 262 and Diorama! Due to your work I have started my own Me 262 that I have in my stash(only that is a 1a and in 1/72) Parabens, Abracos

Very nice Ricardo! Did you built the base just for this model? Or is it a multipurpose one?
29 June 2020, 00:37
![](/profiles/img/29367-876-s.jpg)
I bought it from a modelling shop just for this model; I glued a grass paper from train diorama supplier on top of it, drilled a hole for the brass tube and that was it 🙂
