Hi Roman, nice looking office.

Quick question, are you using pale blue for highlighting, because in image 2 of post 2 some of the boxes have a blue sheen, or is it just the way my screen is showing the pictures.

Looking great so far.

Tony.

I think that is the metal under painting that is showing and reflecting the light Tony.

Roman, this cock pit is looking sweet. The 87 is one of the few German aircraft that could tempt me, but never been in the shop at the same time as me.

Watching with interest.

cockpit is glued into fuselage

I have little trouble with it, fit is not perfect as I asume it will be, but everything is on they own place

I dont know, the sides of cockpit are not so tight till side walls of fuselage... Probably must gle them to they be fixed on the wals...

Does anyone know about that problem in the build?

Cheers

Roman

Another class build coming along from Vajled Heavy Industries! Looking great Roman!

 

[kelvgood]

That's the standard to aim for, looking forward in finding and seeing more of your work

Looking good Roman. Just a thought, I might be wrong, but maybe that gap between the cockpit wall and fuselage makes a rail gap for the sliding canopy?

Missed the start of this one Roman and what a start great work mate

Very nice Roman as usual just how do you do it ?

Just finished a book written by Churchill's envoy to the French Cabinet at the time of the German invasion of France (WW11).

The envoy Gen. Spears & MP heard of the continued fear the Stuka put into the French soldiers affecting their performance that horrible high pitched siren noise.

He went off consulted a French Psychiatrist who simply advised wax pelts in the ears. Spears informed the Minister of Munitions Dautry. What happened after that I have no idea.

Hi Roman, great stuff again. I think you'll find that the double side wall to the fuse is for the sliding canopy, one piece goes on the inside the next on the outside allowing them to slide over each other. M
