Hey another with a big gun Looks good so far!

 

[SA Dave]

Hmmmm nice big gun

 

[Sharkmouth]

Those Trimaster molds weren't so bad if not for the fit issues.

Regards and thanks,

 

[MrT]

Wow what a gun. Going to be a cool looking bird!

[Phil]

Saul you are right! this one had a shocker of wing to fus fit one of the worst I've encountered.

Mr T, I have a thing for big guns in aircraft!!!

my Dragon Ju88P-1 based on the prototype with the glass nose

 

[jknaus]

Love it

some super work here! your riem display looks awesome, the ju88 is killer and i look so much forward to your progress on the me262 ...

 

[Adam]

That's looking really cool Phil.

Man, I hope they caught those shells, those things falling from 20,000 feet would kill someone!

 

[Phil]

Never mind the shell casings MP I shudder to think of the damage that 50mm exploding cannon shell would have done to a heavy - thank goodness it jammed each time that aircraft went into action.

Thanks everyone the builds here are FANTASTIC!!

 

[Plastik Smurff]

Awesome work.

[Phil]

Well here is the update on how this one is going, mottles, I'm really starting to hate them!
This is round five, and that's how this will stay there isn't going to be a sixth time.

and a few stuff ups but my mood is F.I.

 

[mlp]

looks good Phil. ... this nose ... I always found this nose on a 262 a little irritating - looking forward for more

 

[Phil]

Thanks Martin,
here's a little more I did tonight, started doing the simulated putty on the nose and started giving it the rubbed in look, will finish that next

 

[Sharkmouth]

Really nice!

Will you be using the kit decals or masks?

Regards,

 

[moon puppy]

Outstanding Phil! Nailing it.

 

[Adam]

Phil after looking at it again I think that putty looks good as is. I wouldn't do a thing more to it.

 

[matrixone]

The mottling is looking better!
