Soeren R.Will start this one, as soon the Eduard sets and the cockpit color - the HB instruction is here way off - are here.
28 August 2017, 05:50
Soeren R.The cockpit color arrived today - the HB instructions are way off regarding the colors - so I will start to spray the cockpit tomorrow 🙂
1 September 2017, 16:28
Soeren R.Cockpit is now done - besides two plastic parts and the seat.
Almost the whole cockpit is from pe parts - only the floor and the back are the "old" plastic parts.
24 September 2017, 16:28
Soeren R.Welcome mates😉
I hope to prime the kit till sunday.
So far its a reall nice kit and didnt needed so much filler so far. I hope it will stat at way even with the wings.

Michael PhillipsI gotta follow this! Great work so far Soren. We are in for another NMF treat, I'm sure!
21 October 2017, 15:48
Soeren R.Thx
@Gordon
Yeah and also really helpful.
@Michael
Lets hope the NMF will turn out any good because it's my first try.
21 October 2017, 16:29
Roland SachsenhoferSören, that looks absolutely well! Hope I did not read it over: which color for the NMF are going to use?
21 October 2017, 16:39
Soeren R.Thanks a lot Roland 😉 I will go for the Xtreme Metal colors from AK which I already used for the engine on this one.
As the main color I will use Aluminum and then some other colors for different panels.
In most of the pictures Ive found, she always looks liks a metal patchwork plane.

Soeren R.Thx Martin and Peter.
Some spots still need some love, but nothing to serious before the first layer of primer.
1 April 2018, 15:13
Soeren R.Black base is now done.
The next step will be the first layer of Xtreme Metal Alu and after that I will paint some panels differently
24 June 2018, 18:29
Soeren R.First parts are now painted in alu.
You still see some flaws, but Im happy with after all. 🙂
24 June 2018, 19:31
Björn SvedbergLooks really nice, Sören! 👍 I'll be following. I love the Tunnan! 🙂
25 June 2018, 18:23
Soeren R.Thx a lot Björn.
The Tunnan is indeed a really great plane, even if its ugly as hell 😛
The first layer of paint is now on the full kit and it sadly hase some flaws.
My next step will now to polish the shit out of it 😄 with 800, 2000 and 6000 polish cloth and after that another layer of alu. 🙂
25 June 2018, 18:35
Björn SvedbergNo, It's beautiful! ;P But perhaps I am a little partial as I grew up watching them fly at F13 Malmen as a kid..
25 June 2018, 18:52
Soeren R.Hehe kind of.
But I must say that the biggest part of a NMF plane is really the preparation for the color.
7 July 2018, 09:33
Martin OostromDone: build and paint.
To do: decals, panel lines, weathering, dio.
You're almost at 1/3!
Just kidding. Take your time and show us another masterpiece 👍
7 July 2018, 10:48
Soeren R.Thx Martin and will do.
Sadly the nose doesnt want as I do.... There is still a small gap.
But Im certain that I will win this fight 😄
8 July 2018, 07:19
Martin OostromDo you want to trade? I have a Supermarine Stranrear that doesn't want to be a double decker.
8 July 2018, 09:37
Christian RistitsVery nice work so far Sören - have the same kit in my stash and I will watch with interest!
8 July 2018, 09:46
Soeren R.Thx a lot mates😉
Sadly there were some minor errors which I have to fix, but nothing serious
8 July 2018, 15:33
Soeren R.The paint job is almost done.
Still two/three panels need a different shade of alu and a few minor errors need some fixing, but that's it😉
16 July 2018, 07:10
Soeren R.Thx and the paint work is now finished.
The nose still needs some fixing but thats all
16 July 2018, 11:07
Patrick HagelsteinThat looks good! Do you mind if I spy with my little eye for my upcoming Tunnan build?
16 July 2018, 20:01
Soeren R.Hehe😉
Today I fixed two minor errors in the paintwork and now she is finally ready for the first clear coat - sadly its to hot right now to use the airbrush...
I also sprayed all small parts in aluminium and the next step are now the wheels, which still need some attention (filler and sanding)
17 July 2018, 11:00
Soeren R.Decal time😉
Sadly is destroyed of the Austrian roundels from the body.
Do maybe someone have this kit and dont need the Austrian roundels?
20 August 2018, 21:13
Patrick HagelsteinLuckily the Austrian markings aren't that intricate. Would it work to mask a circle, paint it red, mask a triangle and paint that white?
21 August 2018, 00:05
Soeren R.I think it will be hard to match the other decals then....
Im in contact with the Trumpeter/Hobby Boss support, maybe they can help out here. 🙂
21 August 2018, 04:58
Michael PhillipsThis is really looking sweet Sören! The yellow, white, and red against that smooth NMF really pops and makes for a very eye pleasing.
21 August 2018, 19:39
Soeren R.Thx a lot mates. 🙂
@ Michael
Yeah, that was one of the reasons, why Ive decided to build the Austrian version. 🙂
22 August 2018, 04:33
Daniel KlinkWow!! Missed that one... Well done Sören... Very Good Metal finish.... Congrats
15 September 2018, 13:04
Soeren R.Thank you.
The next layer of clear is now on it.
After a drying time of 24 hours, I will start with the wash.
15 September 2018, 20:56
Soeren R.I was finally able to wash the upper wings.
Sure I know it's a really subtle, but I think it fits the Tunnan really good.
Ok and I probably put to much clear on it😉
17 September 2018, 20:07
Soeren R.Wash is now finished and I should finish this one in the next couple of days😉
18 September 2018, 21:40
Daniel KlinkYou really should do so Sören 🙂 Although i like the look of it already
18 September 2018, 21:44
Thomas EhrenspergerWird echt toll. Vor allem die verschiedenen Metall-Töne wirken sehr gut!
5 November 2018, 20:26
Soeren R.Thanks Clifford & Thomas.
I finally received the spare wheels yesterday, which means that I can hopefully finish this project very very soon. 🙂
6 November 2018, 05:43
Soeren R.Was finally able to almost finish the Tunnan.
Only the front gear is missing which will be attached by tomorrow
27 December 2018, 19:27
Michael PhillipsThat really is such an eye catcher Sören, man... such a beautiful build!
27 December 2018, 19:58
Soeren R.Thank you very much. 🙂
I'm indeed not 100% happy with it, because I know the flaws, but this build helped a lot to understand a NMF on a Jet.😉
28 December 2018, 05:11
Soeren R.Thank you 😉
