Bernhard SchrockHier geht es weiter!🙂 Turtledeck-Mimik & Kanzelschiene: sehr schön!

Thomas Bischoffwunderschön die Details! ... ich frage mich aber gerade, ob die gelbe NAMU Maschine nicht unbewaffnet unterwegs war. Die Fotos zeigen meiner Meinung nach ausgebaute Flügelkanonen.

Hanno Kleinecke AutorThank you Thomas ! I think you are right, the two original pictures show no armament, neither guns in the wings, nor rocket racks under the wings.
Mine will be unarmed too.
@ Jorge : Sorry mate, unfortunately I don't speak or read spanish

Bernhard SchrockSchön dass es weiter geht! Welcome back at the work bench! Nice details, especially cowling inner side. I'm watching for paint especially yellow. 🙂

Bernhard SchrockPic 36: die Sturzflugbremsen jetzt schon festgeklebt oder nur temporär via Drahtstücke? Übrigens sieht SEHR gut aus!
21 September 2020, 15:27
Hanno Kleinecke AutorDankeschön ! Erstmal nur mittels Draht probegepasst..... PE fehlt noch, zusammen mit der ganzen Verstellmechanik. Würde beim Flächeneinbau sonst nur kaputtgehen......

Hanno Kleinecke AutorThank you Daniel ! Momentarily this beast is driving me up the wall, wing fit is fubar, making this a lot more
work than I expected........🙂

Bernhard SchrockFreut mich sehr das Gelb! 🙂 Hast du alles in EINEM Rutsch geairbrusht? Oder in mehreren Sessions? Wenn in einem Rutsch wie gehalten? 37 und 39: die Betonung der Blechstösse mit Glanz ist gut zu sehen. Sehr gespannt auf das gesamt Ergebnis!

Hanno Kleinecke AutorDanke Dir ! Es waren insgesamt 5 Durchgänge, Schattieren eingerechnet. Vorne durchgebohrt für Styrolrohr zum Halten.

Hanno Kleinecke AutorThx Ben, in reality it has a ltlle more orange to it, got swallowed up by the camera

Patrick HagelsteinGood to read the yellow is more orange in real life as the pictures indeed are a bit pale compared to the shots of the real bird.

Hanno Kleinecke AutorThanks Patrick, you're right, looks a bit pale.... I think reality is somewhere in between, these old Kodakchrome colour photographs are generally a bit more orangy than the real thing used to be
9 November 2020, 18:14
Patrick HagelsteinThat's why it always looks so much sunnier on those old pictures. 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke AutorOn Monday this project almost came to an early and violent end : The Helldiver decided to live up to its reputation being a Divebomber and dove off the workbench...... Only to crash onto the floor, breaking both legshafts, the antenna mast and one diveflap, damaging several actuators.
Aaaaaarghhhh ! As one can imagine, I was veeery close to hammering the whole thing into the bin,which I'm glad I did'nt, because the project has grown too far and consumed too much time to be dumped.
But, the upside of this downfall is, that I am now able to correct some details I was not quite satisfied with, for instance the position of the legshafts.
Keeping calm and carrying on ! 🙂

This is what I would have to say, only Kate and Peter are way better at it. 😉

A.J. MadisonI love your evil genius in super detailing the flap actuators. Definitely don't give up. You have way to much invested into this project.
18 December 2020, 02:32
Hanno Kleinecke AutorAaaawwww, thanks Patrick, I have already repaired most of it. Could have been worse. We'll all see this one finished shortly 🙂
Thank you Clifford and A.J. !

Hanno Kleinecke AutorCalling this one done, right on time to give 2020 the boot in a whole !
This project was not sailing under a good star, like so many other things this year.....
After its divebomb attack on the floor this was not due to become a mastepiece anymore but still I think
it's ok-ish. In the end I'm glad I did'nt bin it like my first rage tempted me to. 🙂
A happy and healthy 2021 for all of you, see ya'll next year !

Bernhard SchrockI'm very happy to see the finished yellow Beast (just in time before 2020 ends🙂 ). Great job and result!
31 December 2020, 11:52
Hanno Kleinecke AutorThank you Clifford, Daniel Thomas, Maciej and Ben ! I'm glad that you like my yellow beast ! 🙂 @Thomas : Your rescue Helldiver was the inspiration for this. 🙂
