Very nice. There are no problems with this kit. I built it too. But I built it with the unpaintet front (see my album).

Cant wait to see Wilma finished! Good work on the wheel bays. And the 5 cm BK Looks way cool! 🙂

Looking forward to see this come along. Adding this kit to my wish list as well

Count me in. I really have a weakspot for this one!😉

Thanks mates ! The HB kit is fine, with very good fittings and details. But need to perform some surgery in the wheel wells.

Looks good 🙂

Impressive! I love this bird. Pay attention to the hole for sleeve ejection. Visible near to the small landing gear flaps:

I just see: Should the "Zwiebel" in the exhaust nozzle protrude stick out so far? I hope It don´t:

Nice Project!

@Eugen: many thanks ! HB has forgotten the ejection holes, your picture will help me to rectify this point. For the exhaust nozzle, it is probably an instruction device. On a flying aircraft, I guess that it would be much more weathered !😉

Ejection holes drilled. Happy to have finished this step...

Eugen P.
One hole would have been enough. One gun, one hole.

15 January 2017, 10:26

Rv
Maybe Eugen, but on the pictures you provided to me, I have counted 3 holes. Looks good to me like that.

15 January 2017, 10:34

Eugen P.
I think these are damages. There is no reason for further holes than the one big one.

Extra holes might be for the metal clips that form the belt

Main building phasis completed, time to move on the landing gear and the camouflage paint job.

Excited to see the paint job! 🙂

Impressive attention to details 🙂

Nice work, building the same kit out of the box, mine had a lot of fit issues but all part of the process. Thanks for sharing your talents with us,ps do you have or know of a vid or site that shows how to scratch build those great wing end lights you made out of clear spruce?. Have a great day.

Many thanks Rory for your words. For the wingtip light, I haven't find any video or site. BTW, it is just a shaped and polished clear sprue part. Just need to be patient and cautious, and to be sure that the part is strongly glued.
