Hs 129 B2 Hasegawa 1/48

 Ecco l'ultimo progetto a cui sto lavorando e che pian piano sto riuscendo a completare, Lo Hs 129 B2 della Hasegawa in 48,

Al kit ho aggiunto abitacolo CMK, Abitacolo e motore Verlinden, Vano cannoncino Mg 151/20 in fusoliera della Quik Boost.

Mi sono accorto subito che l'abitacolo Verlinden non era tutto questo granchè, senza contare che per entrare dentro la fusoliera,

bisognava fare un fastidioso lavoro di taglia e cuci, così ho usato l'abitacolo CMK più il seggiolino Verlinden.

Ho dettagliato le pareti dell'abitacolo

Modificato il serbatoio del Carburante per farlo accomodare insieme al vano dello Mg 151

Ho ricostruito il vano ventrale del cannoncino MK 101 con culla basculante

Ricostruito il Cannoncino da 30 mm Mk 101

Quindi dettagliato il motore Gnome Rhone 14 della Verlinden

Passato alla fase di verniciatura, con schema RLM 70/71/65 (colori Gunze)

 

 

He 219 A0

 As their homeland burned under them, a handful of men, night after night, tried to stop the wave of allied bombers. It was during the night between 11 and 12 June that Maj Werner Streib and his "Bordfunker" (Radar operator) dropped five British bomber, four Halifax and one Lancaster. After 144 minutes of flight, during the landing, the canopy exploded and with the flaps locked, Maj. Streib attempted a difficult high-speed landing at Venlo Airport. In the incident, Streib reported only some slight injuries, while his Radar operator was seriously injured. The model was obtained from the beautiful Tamiya box in 1/48 (He 219 A7) to turn it into A0 (V9) I used the owl decals radar Fug 202, Falcon's Vacuform canopy creates Vax. I also added the cargo compartment of Aires and the Aires passenger compartment. The decals are always Owl Decals. Altyra added important, the terminal with 4 Quick Boost cannons (which was very underdimensional). Coloring still today is the subject of debates, at that time all notturn hunters were painted with camouflage in RLM 76 and slices in RLM 75 ( both in mottle and reverse mottle). In the photos, however, the aircraft seems apparently all in RLM 76 with some scattered spotters. Probably the aircraft (like all prototypes) was originally painted in Black, and so shortly before its pick-up, it was repaired entirely with the RLM 76, which however left it and transpired the black underneath it.

Some documenteation

The kit received all the rivets, and some corrections to panels

Added reinforced panels using self adesive metal foil

Added metal tubes to simulate gun barrels

Added AIRES gear bay

Ares conversion for A0/A2, the piece was too undersized
