He probably means empty the contents into a pan and heat on the hob.

Looking good. Being a PM kit I expected it to need some filler.

Crunchy nut cornflakes - yummy. :lol:

So this is where I got to yesterday evening - primer on.

Next step,
  • Paint the red areas for the markings.
    Then mask that off before applying the silver paint.
    Finish painting Otto just in case you can see him once the canopy is on.
    Paint the canopy.
Bye for now. :smilie_flagge3:

Great progress so far. This is a lovely if simple kit. Looking forward to the finished model.

All the best.

Thanks for the support Greg - I think you are mental taking on six kits in one go but enjoyable to follow. :lol: It is a very nice little kit of a very cool looking aircraft. The decals let it down a bit as they are quite thick & not many of them. A few stencils or unit markings would have been nice. I might check in my decal stash but I don't build many Luftwaffe types.

I applied two coats of Tamiya red and gave them a coat of Klear. I am just about to mask off the red areas before I paint the silver.

Then off for my morning ablusions and to put some pants on. Yes I am typing this naked.

There's a nice mental image for you. :ha:

Thank goodness that clock hasn't got a very reflective surface. Cool progress so far. And yes. I am completely mental. :ha: :-D

All the best.
