chukw Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks, guys- thanks! Help is on the way- knock on wood, this should be a relatively easy fix. The kit wells are simple and structural only, with no extra detail to speak of. I'll get this lined up and it's time to finish that pit and paint! If you look at that last pic you'll see a brace bar and a white handgrip in the mid-point, right between the Frauleins. Got some levers in and more ready to go. Bomb sight, folding floor, gun controls, rudder pedals- canopies! All coming rught up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zaxos345 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 You are truly an artist Chuk!!! Amazing work and tips! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Thanks, John! The package has arrived- and I think I've nailed it. Fritzi agrees! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zero Enna Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Nice to see you solved that landing gear wells issue. I like what you did with the landing light, I'll do the same to my 1/72 Ju-88G-6 :) This is getting better and better, keep us posted B) Best regards. José.

Wing_Nut Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I don't know what I enjoyed more....Fritzi's gravity defying leap or the idea of clamping a straight edge into a vise along with the part to ensure a straight cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Mike Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Its always great to see how you recover from these little set backs! Did you use the kits wheels for this build? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michel C Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Wheels on, you're rolling again! Well Done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kinnies Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Brilliant work Chuck. I'm learning a lot. I was also half way through your Helldiver build, but I can't find it anymore. Do you happen to know where it is located here? Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks, everyone! I swear I'll beat this thing into one piece- just you watch! Skinny Mike, I sure will. I'm trying to use as much of the kit parts as I can- except for those I re-make from scratch, of course! I still have to sand some flats onto those tires, but that's nothin'. Thanks for reading that, John- it's right here. I've added some PE levers in the 'pit, but somehow missed the stupid nubs on the ends. Out they come! More next time! chuk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obant Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Wow, good catch Chuk. Excellent recovery. Obant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zero Enna Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I forgot to ask! What's the diameter of the reflector dish you punched? I'll use 2/3 of that size for my Ju-88. Best regards. José. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks, Obant! Jose, I just used the punch that fit- do the same for your build! ;D I'm home with a virus and should have been painting pictures of robots all day, but here's what I've gotten done this weekend.

Obant Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) [I'm utterly speechless! Well ....... perhaps not so much that I can't say how brilliant I think your method of getting an accurate, quick template for your wheel well internals is - like all good ideas, simple but ingenious ! Keep 'em coming...... Obant. Edited January 19, 2012 by Obant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Obant Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Just as I was getting withdrawal symptoms you come to the rescue ... Yet another great instalment and, man, do you have the best toys?

Youngtiger1 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 OH yeah, I'm glad that your building this here chuk. I follow your work on hyperscale as well but over here it sure makes it easier to follow. Totally cool. BTW, you have a website or something? I want to see what else you have as of your cartoons.

Wing_Nut Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Those rudder pedals are amazing!! I love how you created the complex look of the rudder pedals with simple pieces of styrene and wire, then added to your scratch-built instrument panel, outstanding work Chuk!
