Messerschmitt Bf 110E, 1/48, Eduard 8203, Part 2

Hello lads.
This is the second part of my Bf 110E project. I gotta say, this is going pretty well. I really hope this will stay like this. Here's some pictures:

I divided interior works into few sections which I'm going to build separately. First would be pilot's area.

Then I will move to the other crew's area.

Fuselage...

...the side panels...

...and lastly, the nose gun.

So I'll start with Pilot's seat etc... First, the floor with some PE parts.

Painting phase came really fast as there is not too much parts.

Quick round of weathering, too. The floor...

The seat...

Mantlets and levers...

OK, looks like I have everything ready and waiting for final assembly.

Instruments panel. It has been precoloured.

And there it is.

This was not hard. We'll see how are the other compartments.

That is it for now, folks. See you next time.

Thanks

Panzerpahwagen BA 64(r), 1/35, MiniArt 35110, Part 2

Hello there.
Now, here is second part of MiniArt's BA 64.

Straight to it:

 That is the interior pretty much done. I will not be visible through small turret, but if you would like to open door or something, be prepare for some serious improvements. Luckily, aftermarket provides us with a detail set for the thing.

 Also started with the turret base.

 This is what i got so far.

The same with a headless kraut.

 Steering wheel in position.

 Looks like it is time to roll out the paint. But first, primer. This time i used Tamiya's White Primer for airbrush.

 I used to work with Tamiya's spraycans but I thought I'll give this a shot.

 It is OK.

 Next step - Grey base. I want to go with hairspray technique for interior, so that is going to be my base for that.

 I sprayed the whole interior.

 I wanna go with the Gearbox Green for gearbox. Not sure.

 Finally, I sprayed the Interior Buff from Hataka's pallette and scratched it with brush soaked in water.

 I also decided to go for gearbox green. Also Hataka.

 More scratching done on walls...

...and in the upper part of the hull.

That is it for now. Looks like it is going to be pretty fast project. It is really little. I could fit it on Opel Blitz' back. Anyway, thank for watching.

Messerschmitt Bf 110E, 1/48, Eduard 8203, Part 1

Hello lads.
There is third project I recently started. And it is a plane. 1/48th scale Me-110E. I always liked this plane. Looks just great. Especially interior which is well exposed. Also, there is a detailed nose gun section included which can also be exposed and opened. I am certainly going for that. This is first time I'll be building  plane with such complex interior. Hope everything fits well.

That's the inbox:

Everything looks really good. Nice, sharp details, very rich interior with lots of PE parts. I wonder: where it can go wrong. I am pretty sure something will. I just hope it won't make me abandon the project.

That is it for now. Thanks for watching.

Panzerpahwagen BA 64(r), 1/35, MiniArt 35110, Part 1

Hello. New project on the way. MiniArt's BA 64(r). That's a really little vehicle, so it shouldn't take long to build. Altho', as my "something" new thing, I am going to build a little snowy base for the vehicle, and a figure - one of those which are in the MiniArt's box. Here's the first part:

 A little of "what's inside of the box".

 Lower and upper hull.

Chassis parts.

 Couple of winter Krauts.

 Turret and other pieces.

 Aaaaand the tyres.

 I started with the chassis.

 Next thing was the gearbox. Weird thing - there is no engine at all.

I wonder if the gap would be seeable.

Especially from below.

More details on.

The fitting is really good.

Looks like most of the interior is done...

...so I started with Helmut.

That is it for now, folks. Next post: third project I started. A plane. Stay tuned.
Thanks for watching.

U.S. 6X6 Cargo Truck M561 Gama Goat, 1/35, Tamiya 35330, Part 1

Hello lads. Long time no see. Now, it doesn't mean that nothing happened in my modelling world. Not at all, cause it did. I started three new projects (two 1/35 and one 1/48th scale). This is the first of them. It's Tamiya's Gama Goat (35550). I bought it long time ago, cause its shape appealed to me. Rather clumsy looking vehicle. Great little truck to build.

In my previous project I mentioned  that in each new model I want to try something new. Something that I've never done before. Or something I already have, but this time I can try it in a different way. For this I decided that I am going to do some scratchbuilding. I mean adding some parts that are not in a model or PE set. Some wiring or hydraullic lines. Gama Goat is a modern vehicle and there are plenty pictures that I can use as a guide. I have two great sets of walkaround photos. I'll use them as reference. Adding such things, in my view, adds great in-depth look to a model. Also makes it much more personal and one of a kind. That is my goal. To make it look personal. And more detailed of course.

Some pictures:

 Boxart...

 ...and a little look on the sprues.

 We start with hull...

 ...and suspension.

 Front and rear.

 When attaching it to hull, be careful and note correct direction.

 Next step: tractor rear panel.

In place.

There. That is it for now. So far it is typical Tamiya. Everything fits very well. Really easy.

Thanks for watching,

D.
