This is a test...this is only a test. If this were a real emergency my AMS would take over. I want to see if I can do an out of the box build. So far I have almost never been able to. Wish me luck.

I think this is my first time with an ICM mold. The kit has a lot of flash and is very subtle in its markings. This creates a bit of a challenge cleaning things up because I have to stop and figure out what to take away and what to keep. But I think when everything is cleaned up it should be pretty straightforward.

Me too. I have my ICM to finish too.

I think I am becoming an ICM fan. The mold is not the easiest but the subtle details and perfect scaling are great.

Same. Fingers crossed for the OOB goal to last 👍

There was one piece that was too big to fit. The instructions said that it was the backing for the control panel for the navigator. I started filing it down but then realized that Revell screwed up the instructions and it was actually the pilot's headboard. Now I have to repair the headboard.

I'm in. Good luck with that kit. 😉

Watching with interest.

Well I blamed Revell for getting the instructions wrong but when I checked the ICM instructions they had the same mistake. The piece clearly belongs behind the pilot if you look at the kit. So either the engineers who designed the kit got it wrong or the graphics department got something wrong. Either way I went with the kit and not the instructions.

Today I was going to paint most of the day but my airbrushes were not cooperating so I ended up brushing the interior.

I finished the cockpit and started with the wings today

Nice progress 👍

The more I work with this model the more I am truly amazed at how finely detailed ICM was able to make the mold. It's incredible. I hope I can keep any of those details without the paint just filling it all in.

I'm definitely in for this.

Welcome everyone. It's starting to come together. Soon it may even look like a plane.
 14 January, 02:23
Skyhiker Автор
A bit more progress made today. Now I have to wait for everything to dry before attempting to put on the landing gear.
1  14 January, 13:26
Skyhiker Автор
Landing gear is on.

A set of masks would have saved me a lot of time, but after shipping they would have cost more than the kit.

Ouch, seen the very first picture.
few flashes but lovely plane with this inline engine version.
 17 January, 15:21
Skyhiker Автор
Yeah, there was a lot of flash on the kit. It took me a day to get all the parts cleaned up but in the end the kit is actually not too bad.
 17 January, 15:26
Skyhiker Автор
I primed the model today. Tomorrow I will start painting.

Moreno Baruffini
Really a great progress! Bravo!
 18 January, 19:07

I agree with Moreno 👍

I got the bottom painted but I think I am going to give it a day to cure before masking it.

Looking good, following. 👍

This build is making me question why I predominantly use an airbrush instead of a paintbrush.
1  20 January, 15:33
Moreno Baruffini
I agree with you, I use use mainly the brush when modelling

Hi Skyhiker 👋
Always pays to give paint good drying time before more work, l like 48hrs on main airframe, probably why l tend to have couple of builds on the go ..... something to do between drying periods.
Looking good , l always hand paint my wheels, lve done 67 in 2yrs 🫣
Good luck on next steps 👍

I got the base layer of RLM71 down. I'm not happy with the windows but I couldn't sand them down flat without damaging a lot of details. I'll have to see how it looks when the paint is dry.
 23 January, 21:14
Mr D
Coming along nicely 👍
An interesting wing shape.. interesting aircraft generally, nice 🙂👍
 23 January, 21:35
Skyhiker Автор
The wing shape reminds me of a flying fish.
1  23 January, 23:49
Michael Kohl
The wing shape actually gave inspiration for the Spitfire. Rolls Royce - if I recall that right - acquired a He-70 for test purposes. Here the designer of the Spitfire saw the plane.

That's an interesting bit of history Michael. I didn't know that but I did notice the similarities. As a matter of fact I was just comparing the two a few days ago.
 24 January, 15:22
Skyhiker Автор
Well, somehow the landing gear broke on me, so I had to scratch build a new part. Seems to be working now.
 24 January, 15:55

Camo down
1  24 January, 17:37
Cuajete
Good progress 👍
1  24 January, 19:08
Mr D
Good job on the camo, every plane probably has variations in camo so box art is good, it does work well as a camouflage that pattern, breaks up the profile well.
Nice build 👍
 24 January, 19:29
Jennifer Franklin
The camo looks great.

Thanks for asking Jennifer. I'm slowly getting back on my feet. My fever is gone now, but I'm still pretty tired. I'm taking it one day at a time.

Very nice 👍👍

So, I finished this kit today. I'll post some photos tomorrow.

Finished. This one isn't going to win me any awards but I think it came out alright. There are a few things that I would do differently if I were to build it again, but I am happy with the results.
