Ians Kross-Dressing Krauts - COMPLETE

[Ian]

After a set of nights in the office here are some more pics of progress!

The Albatros is pretty much done. Just need to repaint the tyres. I forgot this was a 1940's machine and painted them light grey! Then add the wheels, the prop and add some swastikas to the tail.




I've made a start on Heinz Barr, too.


Should be complete this week!

[Ian]

As for the -109, well...... Painting and decalling of the aircraft is complete.




Just need to add all the bits and pieces, prop, wheels, balance weights, balance weights, aerial. And Von Richthofen, of course!!


Getting there!

[Sissel]

Both look great. Like you say, and you can say it again: Anything looks great in German markings. Even German planes.
Looking at the scheme of the Messie, I get tempted to start my Albatroses quicker than planned. But need a break first.
Excellent work, Ian!

What's that pilot pointing at?

[TimJ]

Both of these are looking great.

[AndrewR]

That's not Heinz Barr, it's Jean-Luc Picard!

And why has von RIchthofen got a stocking mask over his head? Is he going to rob a bank?

Nice work!

Going to try a spiral on the Albatros spinner?

Let me think about that........

[Stuart]

They are both looking great as are the pilots!

[Ian]

Thanks Stuart.

These are both getting very close now. Both pilots are in place and all I have left to do is to mattcote the Albatros and add the gear doors and mattcote the wings of the -109. No more pics till they're finished!

[Ian]

Mattcote - done and done.
Gear doors attached.

Waiting patiently for them to dry.....

[Sissel]

I'm getting Blitzbau feeling here!

[Ian]

20 days is most certainly not Blitzing, Sissel. But I know what you mean. Small updates with no pics. And you just want to see what they look like!!

[Ian]

Bugger - just broke the aerial antenna off the -109. Glue drying.....

[Sissel]

Shame.. but hurry up.. You can do it!! 2 hours, 3 minutes and 38 seconds left. Come on now!

[Ian]

LOL

They're done. Downloading the pics now!
