AnthonyWan Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) While the kit is on its way to me from Erwin, I thought I would get started this thread by listing some references that I would be using to help me. The kit: (Photo is from Erwin) From some quick Google research, I realize that this kit only contains the basic shapes for the kit (wings, fuselage), and not much else :(...oh well...<_< My objective for the kit: -Create a fairly accurate interior. Since pictures arent that plentiful of the fuselage interior, i'll focus efforts on the cockpit and foward navigation (?) areas. The aft areas will be detailed if I can find pictures. If not, I'll do my best to 'make up' its contents. :D **EDIT**: I have changed my ideas regarding this section because after reading some articles on building bav kits, I realized that the interior sections need to be braced to maintain rigid structure. Unless i can figure out some way to do this without filling the entire aft fuselage with foam...then the only interior i can put in is the cockpit :( -Somehow detail the engines. This type used Junkers Jumo 205 Diesel engines...I do not know if any company produces resin sets or not. Also, I am not sure if the kit comes with props...so these will have to be found from another kit. -Detail the exterior as best as the grainy photos I can find allow. I'll probably add some little parts here and there that maybe did not exist on this particular aircraft...but were common on German aircraft of the period. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So far, these references have supplied some much needed info, and pictures: From Erwin - Includes history, specs, and some pics Info, specs, and Pictures of interior !!!! Interesting photo of a particular plane - Not sure what scheme I'm after: its either the camouflaged green, or the white/yellow prototype Some technical data...might be able to scrounge up some drawings from this Thats all for now. If you have references/suggestions please feel free to let me know. -=AW out=- Edited December 13, 2006 by AnthonyWan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indydog Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) Interesting photo of a particular plane This aircraft is a passenger version painted in Lufthansa colors. The same plane is in the color pic at the top of the page Erwin supplied. Here is a link to a build-up of the Mach2 kit in the Lufthansa colors. Notice that the modeler has applied the serial upside-down on the wings. Edited December 12, 2006 by indydog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erwin Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) ...the kit has no detailparts at all. No props,guns,etc. Just the vac airframeshape and vac clearparts. BTW,it went in the mail today. more links with pics.... http://avions.legendaires.free.fr/do26.php http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/do26.html http://www.luftwaffephotos.com/ldo261.htm Edited February 27, 2007 by erwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrallman Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I dig the flip down wing floats! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Good to hear Erwin. I was just pondering what I would do about clear parts :D I think the propellers can be scrounged from another German plane...maybe the Revell Do-24? or a Do-335? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, Good thing I had a look in my spareclearpartsbox. The props looks standart to fit the Junkers Jumo 250 D engines. So some of the guys here can help you out.

Nev Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Another interesting subject :D Does Doc Fester run the most eclectic GBs or what? :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Update December 30th 2006 Recieved the kit in the mail yesterday afternoon. I think I am going to skip on the interior and concentrate on the exterior details. At this moment, anyone who has four 1/72 Dornier props...I have a home for them <_< Quote Link to post Share on other sites
