Christoph KunzOh, PE-Origami. I admire everyone who is able to do this.
Taking a seat in the front row.

bughunterSuch an amount of golden Bling-Bling 👍 I have to watch.
Pic 3: may be it is intended or possible to put the kit part in the middle of the PE?

Ricardo Reis AuthorWelcome @bughunter; yes, the PE was "un-bendable", so I sourced the kit parts, they are not so refined, but they fit very well; it worked fine

bughunterRicardo, you can glow the brass with a candle for easier bending.
If you want to have it hard again, glow it after bending again and put it in cold water.

Urban GardiniJust DON'T use a storm lighter when you anneal the brass!!! Don't ask me how I know that...

Ricardo Reis AuthorYes, well, PE is a bit frustrating for me, but once I see the added detail, I force myself forward; @bughunter, yes, I've seen it done, I think I just need to be lazy and use a candle as well; after this photo I correct the angle of the ammunition shelf, in the middle of the picture

Pedro AlvesOlá Ricardo
Tenho estado a acompanhar a build e vi agora a imagem mais recente (no. 9) com a tua dúvida. No site da Eduard costuma haver fotos dos sets PE montados, como é o caso, que te podem auxiliar:

Continuação de uma boa build 🙂

bughunterYou mean that one? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotfernrohr_7
If you scroll down a bit you will find the He111 on the list.
And I found this picture: [img1]

Ricardo Reis Author@Pedro Alves, já tinha ido dar uma vista de olhos, mas agradeço na mesma a atenção;
@bughunter, that's exactly it, but my problem is that I never saw pictures of an actual cockpit with the sight mounted as Eduard does - in fact, the picture you posted I had seen before and it shows the bomber lying OVER the opening that is supposed to house the sight and using the sight further to the nose, contrary to what Eduard tells us to do...

Ricardo Reis AuthorWelcome Guy; going on vacation now, so all projects will hold for 1 month! 🙂

Christoph KunzSeems to be a lot of work...
And you had to glue in the MGs already. 🙁
I hope they will survive.
25 September, 08:02
Ricardo Reis AuthorYes, a whole lot of work, I is taking me days to glue everything; and yes, I'm very worried than the machine guns will survive, but they have to be glued from the inside!
25 September, 22:50
Christoph KunzI just took a look at the instructions. Also the fit is not the best, could it be possoble to do step 50 as late as possible?

Alessandro BHi Ricardo, I've recently completed an He111 from ICM and broken the machine guns a couple of times during the painting and weathering phases. Fortunately, it was possible to repair them.
Also two windows peeled off during the masks removal process and was impossible to glue them again from the outside. Some extra glue is reccomended when still accessible 😊

Ricardo Reis AuthorThank you for your comments, mates; I just glued the top part (in step 50), because it is now easier to handle this huge model; un fortunately, I will now have a lot of putty/sanding/re-scribing

Ricardo Reis AuthorWelcome @playtime, unfortunately you caught me at a bad time, the engines of this baby are giving me much headaches! 🙂
