Neuling Wow!?

Nathan Dempsey Nice! What a great idea

Jens After I had noted that Wolfpack Resin and Academy plastic on the MiG 29 does not necessarily fit, the plastic but also needs a lot of spatula, I just want to relax.
So idea, paint and Che gewara are made with airbrush, the seat is refined with Eduard belts, mirrors and other small parts come in a mix of Eduard and GWH PE accessories
Colors Mr. Color for the Tranfarben, for engines only Alclad II colors
And so Cuba has a Castro Digitales

Stephan Ryll Very nice work Jens

Nathan Dempsey You need send the FAC a picture of this Jens.

Bryn Crandell Very nice work Jens!

Jens Thank you Mates for the compliments, it was just fun for relaxation, a try what you could do, where the limits are.
I am happy but immensely if the paint can convince so

Stefan Fraundorfer Great result Jens. Congratulations to this wonderful MiG.

Marc Schimmler Nice

Slavo Hazucha Top job Jens! Yet I am clueless - do you work in some time-warping-capsule or how did you manage to go from "some work on the instruments panel" to "finished model" that quickly...? And what a finish, it really is a looker

Were the GWH decals a topic, or did I raise false alarms? Would like to know, there is a GWH kit on my ToDo list...

Hans Robben I had the priviledge to see this exact aircraft in real life in 2014. You did it justice, nice build, just put this kit on my wishlist.

Jens Thanks for the compliments It is happy and motivated for the next model: -) @ Slavo, I do not have a time capsule, but once I'm sitting then I stick with it. The GWK kit has a very simple blueprint and you have to check many things 3 and 4 times if the position is right, the fit can convince, but I also have a lot to replace with Eduard, the seat of brass is of course a great for themselves. The decals are relatively thick and not 100% faithful to the scheme, but this is in the digital pattern, the Gunze Gunze Mr. Color C 305 FS 36118 is ideal for mending and color accuracy, otherwise Micro Sol creates the bad corners on the model

Daniel Very nice work on this, the base is great as well! I hope the slovaks paint their new vipers the same way

Gordon Sørensen Great looking digital camo, Jens!

Jens Thank you Mates for the compliments, the GWH MiG 29 is simply a pleasure as a base

Jens Hello Rui, thanks for the compliment and do not worry, the Revell Kit is very nice to build, even with the BiG set from Eduard there are no big problems, which of course must be followed, it takes space, right Space as in the construction of battleships in the scale 1: 100

Michael Hickey Very nice Owl Jens you should be very pleased with this one.

Erik Leijdens Nice Jens!!!

Clifford Keesler Excellent Jens.

Jens Thank you mates for the kind words, I'm not completely satisfied yet, but if I wanted to improve the posts, then I would have to start with the paint again

Rui S Yes Jens, i was amazed with the dimensions of this Fighter. but i have space.
the skills to do it looks half has good as yours i don't know. And i Will do it OOB.

Jim J Awesome camo scheme. Nicely done. I love the detail in the cockpit.

Jens Thank you Jim for the flattering words, the cockpit is from Eduard, but the kit is also very nicely done and has individual decals for the ads, the ads themselves are covered with a drop of Gunze GX that is out of the jar like syrup and absolutely perfect for that to handle is

Neuling I agree with Stephan!

Jens Thanks mates for the nice words, maybe I'll try the Do 335 B2, but then a little bit bigger

Holger Kranich The beast from HK Models?

Tim Heimer Too cool!

Jens Joo Holger , HK oder ZM, aber der Preis .....

Jens Thanks Tim @ Holger , ja HK oder ZM, mich schreckt noch der Preis

James C That's awesome! I love the contrast of the camouflaged panels on the nose with the bare metal. Very cool.

Jens Thanks James, from time to time you should also practice metal colors and Mustang will soon be available in quantities, Eduard has indeed brought the super kit on the market, as even Zoukei-Mura is just a shadow on the shelf

Erik Leijdens Looking good Jens! Interesting kit also, I'm very tempted to buy this one too.

Jens Thank you Erik, it is not a mistake to put the model on the wish list, in addition to the many military versions, there were civilian after the war and in France also reconnaissance and special versions, the kit is shortrun typically a bit rough, but still well done

Christian Lehmann

Jens Thanks Christian, I could well imagine that the model already filled your stock and someday as one of your special works will fill the gallery

Christian Lehmann @ Jens: This seems to be unlikely because of the limited space I have for my finished models. I

Holger Kranich Nice kit and build, Jens! Does it have the Argus engines?

Jens Moin Holger, the Argus engines are just simple Relieff's but then not too good should be glued into the closed gondola, you would have engines, then I would pour which of the GWH Fw189 itself from resin

Stephan Ryll Interesting subject Jens - looking very good

Konrad Limmer Very nice Jens ! Looks cool with folded Wings

Jens The folding wings are a real invitation if you have to fight with lack of space

Konrad Limmer Indeed !

Thomas Bischoff This brings a „me too" reflex
Very nice build!

Jens Thanks Thomas I wish you lots of fun with the Kinetic Kit, but who knows your conversion of the Wolf Pack surfaces at the Helldiver, then he knows, you will create a goddess
But what must be a supply, lead, very much lead, the bird just does not want to land

Stephan Ryll Very nice work on that bird Jens

Jens Thanks, colleagues, there are a few problems, but what would Kinetic if they were not included in the price

Jens That was it at the ICM Ju 88 C6, straps Eduard, Brassin wheels, Eduard Exterior and a lot of frustration on the kit and the errors of ICM in mold making, note the landing gear flaps, as crooked as the tower to Pisa, as well as the flame arresters ICM should really do something and make the shapes new and adapted to the original
Colors as base RLM 70/71 from Mr. Color, the RLM 76 comes from Model Master, black from Alclad is the primer
Small extras from cannulas and the antenna from EZ Line

Kerber Great! There are new details for me - bubble rear cabin with 2 MGs, and double wing-antenna...Super!

James C Fabulous looking 88 Jens. I really like the camouflage on this one.

Jens Thanks Jeames and Kerber
@ Kerber, the details are very well described in OWL Decals, I have also taken over the idea of brush styles from the Decals, the normal "Kringel" meander I have already done very often, there was something new due

Slavo Hazucha Great finish Jens, I really admire how the final weathering blended the difficult camo together. Looks really good this way - all the little bubblegums placed over the whole plane really paid off, a really cool "creature of the night"

Jens Thanks Slavo, the patina is nothing special, a mixture of black, ocher, green from the school watercolor with a lot of water applied, a cotton swab dried and finally blurred with a paper towel, and I see, not quite 100% clean, maybe that should but make the cleaning lady

Christian Lehmann

Michael Hickey She looks really nice.

Jens Thanks Michael, I'm really happy if the intention to achieve the brushstyle is good

Holger Kranich Hi Jens! Hatte die C6 von Sayn-Wittgenstein eine "Schräge Musik"? Oder war das nur in seiner 110?

Jens ICM und auch OWL sagen ja, da ich nicht dabei war und meist den Plänen glauben schenke hab ich die Löcher gebohrt

Bryn Crandell WOW! Now that is a speckled paint job. Looks time consuming but worth it in the end.

Stephan Ryll Very nice work Jens

Clifford Keesler Excellent paint job Jens.

Jens Thank you friends for the nice words, that helps to forget everything negative of the ICM Ju 88

Stephan Ryll Very nice 190 Jens

James C That's a gorgeous looking JV44 190 Jens. Very nice mate.

Jens Thank you friends for the nice words, I am pleased if the old Tamiya D9 in the dress can still convince today

Thomas Bischoff well done
.. muss der Antennendraht so durchhängen?

Jens Danke Thomas und ja, der Draht bei den "Blasenhauben" war nicht gespannt, die glatte Haube der frühen Fw 190er hatte einen Spanner in der Schiebehaube, der musste aber dem Materialmangel geopfert werden

Slavo Hazucha It's the builder who convinces Nice job

Jens Thanks Slavo, the Tamiya Kit was the best to the Eduard D9, unfortunately, also with small errors, but for hops 8 hours of construction, it's still a real fun at the workbench

Jens ich habe Revell Deutschland kontaktiert, aber frage mich nicht nach Namen ..., mein english ist leider auch nur auf Google Translate begrenzt, sonst würde ich es wohl versuchen, oder Vacu, aber da ist Eigeninitiative gefragt, für Devastator & Co. bekommt man das, für die Helldiver leider nicht, dabei war der Kit ja schon bei erscheinen ein echtes Leckerchen..., im Moment ruht aber alles bei mir, ich hab mal echt keine Eile und die Helldiver bekommt sicher noch das Finish, mit Glück kann ich ca. März 2018 wieder loslegen, bis dahin bestimmen die Ärzte über mein dasein ......

Bernd Müller Kommt Zeit, kommt Rat. Auf jeden Fall gute Besserung

Thomas Bischoff War die letzten drei Wochen in den Ferien - ich wünsch dir auch gute Besserung!
Deine Helldiver sieht ja sehr gut aus - der Fahrwerkschacht ist super mit den Ätzteilen! Die Auspuffstutzen sind auch von Eduard?

Jens Hallo Thomas und Danke ja die Auspuffe sind Eduard , bei den Fahrwerkschächsten gibt es auch Resin, Quick Boost oder Aires, ist wohl etwas einfach zu Händeln als die Eduard Falt Klemm/Kleborgie

Thomas Bischoff New pictures? Finally finished? She looks great Jens! .. but there should be also a Yagi Antenna under the right wing ...

Jens Hello Thomas, of course, the antennas must still drann, I'll use etched parts, but nothing is done, I had the model only freed of dust, the pulpit can finally make new and the week before the exhibition in Arnstadt / Tühringen I wanted nothing new start, the Helldiver was really something to distract, and it was probably time to update this version again

Peter Knaul Sehr cool! Wie ist das Wolfpack Set zu verarbeiten?

Jens Hallo Peter , die Resinteile passen sehr gut, schau bei Thomas Bischoff mal in den BB, er hat die Faltflügel noch etwas verbessert, aber es passt

Daniel Klink Mäander Jens strikes again Looking very nice Jens

James C Very nice work Jens.

Peter Hardy Jens, it rolls so simply and easily off your tongue, you make it sound so easy!

Jens Thanks for the nice words and compliments
@ Peter, yes it is so easy the glue provides the hold , as simple as the colors, just bring lines with air and paint on the plastic

Peter Hardy Glue eh? I might try that. Chewing gum doesn't work well enough for me.

Jens Try ethyl acetate, which sticks faster than any glue I know, but the ether is reminiscent of a hospital

Peter Hardy Tried that! Grew a third eye overnight. Is that stuff toxic?

Jens
It has certain requirements when dealing with it, you should not drink it, in the eyes you should not get it, but I also disinfect it with small wounds and still live, a Mulga snake would probably be worse in the house The safety instructions, unfortunately only in German and EU norm https://fishersci.de/store/m..untryCode=DE&language=en ( ohhh, that's english, Win 10 was too fast translating )
and a picture of how I can buy it Plastikkleber Spezial | Album by Starterset

Clifford Keesler This one should be good. Watching.

Jens Thanks for the nice words, that motivates me to the next ICM Kit, but I take a short break with an Italeri / Kinetic cooperation, as preparation of my fleet at F 18 Hornet / Super Hornet is currently an E 2 C Hawkeye on the workbench .
Since the building reports sound consistently positive, I think it will be a short two-game, until the exhibition in Lützen near Leipzig, there are still 4 weeks, so no need to panic

Nathan Dempsey More wonderful wave patterns from Jens. Great work!

Jens Thanks for the compliments

Nathan Dempsey if everything was as easy as painting

Hans Haag Saubre Arbeit Jens!

Jens Danke Hans

Stephan Ryll Really nice work Jens it looks very good

Neuling I agree with Stephan!

Jens Thank you Stephan and newcomer for the nice words, I must be grateful to the Luftwaffe that she delivers such beautiful templates , ICM can not expect such compliments for the He 111 from me

Rene Scheiblich Hm da habe ich wohl auch eine alte erwischt! Die Innenseite sieht aus, als hätten sie die Form vom Azubi mit einem stumpfen Stechbeitel herstellen lassen...
Die Aussenseite sieht soweit ok aus...

Jens Dann hast Du die Erstauflage , mach einfach Bilder und schick die an Eduard , in ca. 14 Tagen hast Du kostenfreien Ersatz Aber auch aus der Erstauflage lässt sich ja eine G4 bauen

Rene Scheiblich Das werde ich mal versuchen, danke!
Gibt es echt so extreme Probleme mit den Teilen aus der Erstauflage? Deine 110 sieht am Ende ja sehr schick aus

Jens Wenn ich die Durchschnittsbauzeit bei 10 Tagen für ein 2 Mot mit etwas Extra anvisiere, dann hat die 110 ganze 5 Wochen beansprucht, denke das sagt sehr viel über den Bedarf an Nacharbeiten , es ist ein echter Brocken, der Rumpf baut sich fast von selbst, auch die Montage der Flächen zum Rumpf ist sehr gut durchdacht , aber die Passung der Motorgondeln , Kühler und Flächen selbst spotten jeder Beschreibung, die Lackierung selbst war dann an einem Tag erledigt , aber bis dahin der Weg war echte Arbeit

If I look at the average construction time of 10 days for a 2 Mot with a little extra, then the 110 has taken a whole 5 weeks, think that says a lot about the need for rework, it's a real chunk, the hull is built almost by itself, also the assembly of the surfaces to the fuselage is very well thought out, but the fit of the motor gondolas, radiator and surfaces mock themselves every description, the painting itself was done then in a day, but until then the way was real work

Clifford Keesler I did tell you that is a beautiful BF-110, did I Jens.

Jens Clifford Keesler the Bf 110 G4 has its charm, for me it's the colors, as on any model , but this year I'm really unlucky, the first chunk was the Do 17 Z2 by ICM, that's really annoying and a lot of time, then the A6A Intruder from Kinetic, the pure horror, whether the times will be finished is questionable, then the He 111 H6 from ICM, also very time consuming and then even a story like the Bf 110, it brings me out the concept my speed suffers extremely
but I also like to say, once the pictures are in the album and the model has found its place in the vitrine, then all sorrow is forgotten otherwise I would not try again a He 111 of ICM

Slavo Hazucha Looking really great - great respect for the fine-line job on the fuselage. I also like the finish of the flame-suppressors on the exhausts, it looks very realistic. Great result, well worth the extra mile of effort IMHO

Jens Thanks Slavo, the exhausts I have made on the model only with Alclad II colors ALC 416, ALC 113 and ALC 104, the red tone of the hot metal sepia then provided the rust tone, then a little matte black for the exhaust, everything to feel and painted on each other and mixed, wet painting is impossible with Alclad Ii, that already dries in the cup

Oliver Peissl thanks Jens!

Richmond Wonderful

Alec K Very well done, all around

Clifford Keesler Very well done Jens, a real beauty.

Michael Hickey Very nice Jens.

Jens Thanks for the compliments, I am pleased if the Do 17 can convince

Chris Greathouse Fabulously done!

Jens Thanks Chris, friendly words keep motivating new adventures, and ICM will always be an adventure

Neuling Wonderful colours and painting!

Nathan Dempsey Great shading! Love that red color too.

Thomas Bischoff Top work again!

Stephan Ryll very nice 109 Jens

Jens Thank you colleagues for the kind words The series of the Bf 109 F / G by Eduard is a real relaxation, although now the forms are not completely new and some of the first editions has suffered a bit, nevertheless, price performance and who vote More would like, he gets really everything that years ago, even rotated, clamped or had filed self in many hours

Alec K Nice work on this Jens

Jens Hello Bryn Crandell, yes it was really frightening, first one side of the straight piece with Revell glue dry, but it pressure from the front on everything, from the solid piece then each strut piece by piece and always the good old Revell glue, he holds better and more stable than the Tamiya, but without gap it does not work, from below it needs about 1.5 mm filling

Germen V nice progress

Anthony D'Agostino Hey Jens, thanks for the link. You did a phenomenal job building this bird up, especially liked the wiring/hydraulics plumbing through the cabin. Also the detail on the cockpit instrument cluster, looks like engine number 2 is running a little hot! That is a LOT of detail. It's a shame really, if you didn't have the photos as proof, it would be very difficult to see it. But I know why you work so hard to make it look so real, the satisfaction of pulling it off and the challenge, it looks awesome! Same goes with the engines. I did notice that there is a line of filler around the entire engine strut, did you have to cut out the kit engines and fit an aftermarket engine?

Either way, she looks gorgeous, is she big as well? Some people that have built the MH/CH-53E in 48 scale, talk about how huge the kit is. Just wonder if this is even bigger? Be a while before I get one, as I have other projects in line before her, but it also is a matter of finding one when I have the money to buy it, just hope those two variables meet soon.

Anthony

Jens Hello Anthony and thanks for the compliments
but in turn, there are no resin parts installed,
the spatula on the turbine nacelle is an acrylic spatula https://picclick.com/Perfect..2.html#&gid=1&pid=1, easy and quick to process
Cockpit and weapons are taken from the Eduard BiG Ed Set or improved in the self-built something
the "burn marks" at the turbine exit are pure colors of Alclad a brass and aluminum, to Mr. Color of Gunze something Ror, blue, brown, pure yellow and different shades of gray
I have used cannulas 1.2 mm 0.8 mm and brass tube 0.6 mm as tube for the Seten weapons
The cables and wires are made of copper and lead wire, thickness between 0.4 and 0.8 mm
Base colors Exterior Olive Drab by Model Master, Interior Light Gray Mr. Color and Interior Green by Alclad
almost forgotten, silver wire 0,6 mmfor the feathers of the cannons

Neuling Wow, that`s a good one!

James C Fabulous work Jens and looks mean as hell armed up like that. Very cool!

Jens Thank you friends for the nice words The AHC 47 Chinook was such a model I was looking for a long time, but the BiG Ed Set by Eduard was a hit and miss that could be found like gold on the bench, the big disappointment was then the plastic from Italeri, from so modern forms so many flaws, but it's done and it was the model in 2018 with the most extra work Your compliments will make you forget all the trouble, but the next CH 47 Chinook will be 1:35 Trumpeter probably has the better shapes

Stephan Ryll Very nice build Jens

Jens Thank you Björn, space needs the He 111 probably: D but just as much patience, the model has many flaws not only in the fit, the surface is very rough on the hull and the 1cm wide, there is only sandpaper helps

Stephan Ryll Very nice result Jens

Thomas Bischoff Great result! The open cockpit slidewindow is my favourit

David Januska Oh I like it very much. Perfect result. Great inspiration for me for the future.I have too little space so I'm planning to build one in the only "true scale" from Hasegawa.

Neuling Impressive build!

James C Very nice finish Jens. Despite the issues you had with the kit, it looks awesome.

Jens
518/5000
Thanks for the kind words
@ Thomas, such open windows as an option, yes, like the engines, at ICM standard, unfortunately, but you often forget the precision in detail, so light and shade are very close to you
@ David, the model of 72 Hasegawa is certainly not so nice detaliert, the engines are probably missing, but it will probably be the greater pleasure on the workbench, the quality at Hasegawa is consistently convincing a lot of fun and good luck for the 111

Clifford Keesler Very nice this one Jens,

Michael Hickey Sweet work so far mate, I've built one of these and have two more started, nice kits to build.

Sebastian Meyner Schönes Ding Jens! Sieht Klasse aus

Jens Thanks Michael & Sebastian , Unfortunately, the decals are not so perfect, some is patched and the folding mechanism probably needs more stability, but I've improved everything with the Eduard parts

Stephan Ryll Very nice progress Jens

Thomas Bischoff Cool! Following as I have the drone controler conversion from PJ

Jens Danke Thomas, die Drohne ist sicher wegen der Farben sehr interessant, die F9 F ist ja schon in deinem Vorrat, fehlen noch die Eduard Teile, ich hoffe das wird kein Problem bei der Beschaffung

Stephan Ryll Very nice work Jens

Alec K Excellent indeed

James C Well done mate, that's awesome

Jens Thanks for the compliment to the model, I am pleased if it as it has become like

Nathan Dempsey Coming along very nicely.

Bart Goesaert looking good, interesting system for mounting the tailplanes... camo is looking nice to. How is the kit?

Gerald Willing Fein

Jens Thanks for the kind words
@ Bart, without any problem, real relaxation during construction

Gordon Sørensen Looks great, Jens! I think the Pe-2 is a really good looking aircraft.

Jens Thank you Gordon for the flattering words, Eduard has made a really nice base model for the queen

James C I like the look of that Jens.

Stephan Ryll Nice progress with this bird Jens looking good

Maciej Bellos Impressive nuild! Well done Jens!

Thomas Bischoff Cool .... and a great build

Eugen P. Very nice!

Michael Hickey Really well done.

Alec K Excellent

Jens Thank you colleagues for the nice words about the model, it was a lot of work and certainly I will never again take a Kitty Hawk jet on the workbench, a real disappointment in terms of quality and design.

Bob Hall Mighty Fine Bird I Must Say ! Pretty Colorful for the DDR ! Top Notch work !

Michael Hickey I've heard Kitty Hawk are a bit hit and miss, I've got their F-35 Lightning II hope that isn't a putty queen.

Jens Thanks Robert
@ Michael, spatula is needed, but that's not much, what annoying are the sprues, ejector like spigot, big big tap, the saber takes forever, some recording tap are just wrong, parts are looking for but in the end you do it yourself. ..., the rails of the rockets and tanks should be checked carefully, a lot of imagination and the glue dots are not always in the same places ......., really no fun for the money, but it's model making and not LEGO technology

Germen V super

Andreas Koziol the camouflage looks really amazing! is it painted or are the decals?

Jens Thanks Andreas, I was lazy, without a plotter I decided for the Decals of Eduard

Stephan Ryll Very nice so far Jens

Michael Hickey This looks really good Jens.

Martien Lourens Another gem. Beautiful work, again.

Thomas Bischoff decals? Wow! Beatifully done

Tim Heimer Nice!

Konrad Limmer Very nice Jens

Jens Thank you for the kind words to the MiG 23 ML, to the decals I can only say positive, they are very well made and hardly need softener, but the tiger stripes are missing for the tank, because you can practice the pattern very well

Alec K Great job Jens

Daniel Klink Very nice Jens Rareseen Camo and superb paintjob. Congrats mate!

Jens Danke Daniel

Thomas Bischoff Nice job Jens! But it looks like the wings are not levelled?

Jens Hello Thomas and thank you for your opinion on the 109 but since I'm not a good craftsman my question back, what is not balanced on the wings, or nievelliert?

Thomas Bischoff hallo Jens es sieht aus als würde die Me schief stehen?

Jens da schaue ich nochmal genau nach , ich habe die nochmal auf den Tisch genommen , das "silvern" vom "Kreuzchen" gefällt mir nicht, sind doppel Decals , weisser Grund und schwarzes Kreuz... , da werd ich die Balance nochmal genau prüfen, geht ja schnell bei der 109 , da reicht ein kleiner Kick bei den Räder schon aus , Danke für die Aufklärung

Michael Hickey Nice clean build Jens.

Jens Thanks Michael is an Eduard kit, there it should fit

Michael Hickey Yes, you would think so, the Spitfire Mk. VIII I just finished went together with very little effort what so ever, bar my faults. I'm hoping their Hellcat Mk. I I plan on doing after my Buccaneer is finished goes well.

Jens Hello Michael, the Hellcat is just as easy as the Spit or Bf 109, only in the connection wing and fuselage you should look a little closer, that fits very well, but also quickly inaccurate and wrong

Michael Hickey Thanks Jens, just as well I'm not a rivet counter then.

Erik Leijdens Very nice Jens. An early Emil

Flop_Se Very nice jens! The surface finish looks excelent!

Jens Danke Flo hat ja mal was gedauert, aber auf Eduar ist Verlass

Neuling Beautiful.

Jens Danke "Neuling" wenn ich dann noch das Talent für die Bilder von Dir haben könnte

Hans Robben I have a similar experience, great support from Eduard!

Thomas Bischoff

Łukasz Gliński Kudos to the Eduard team!

scalemates picture 3 shows your address

Urban Gardini Same with Picture six

Urban Gardini Eduard have an excellent customer service that have helped me as well.

Jens Thanks for the tip with the address, I delete that

Flop_Se Nice to see this on your workbench! Looks good so far!

Michael Hickey Very nice pair you have there Jens, and the pit looks good too.

Jens Thank you buddies, I am pleased if the Tempest so convincing in the shell

James C Looking awesome!

Thomas Bischoff great work! Hope you get the missing parts soon

Jens Thanks for the nice words, Eduard had indicated 10 days for the delivery, unfortunately nothing has arrived yet, but that's okay, Nuremberg the toy fair has of course priority
