Dragon Kit, the weathering was based on the well known photos of this machine. The riveting was done the hard way...using a drill.
Ouch !

Holger Kranich
Oh, you had to be very carefully!!!!

I was young and naive...Then I fell in love with Rosy 🙂

Holger Kranich
Hihihi, Rosy the riveter... She had a nasty job... 🙂

Holger Kranich
The "Sturmbock" was a JG 300 bird, wasnt it?

Holger Kranich
And for your advantage, "Rosy" worked very accurate!

The Sturmbock is the mount of Willi Maximowitz, IV. Sturm / JG3.

Very brave were the pilots of all the Sturmgruppen. I have plans for making JG300 aircraft also...

Holger Kranich
OK, so i wasn´t too wrong... I never heard about Willi, so iám going to collect reference about his squadron, its very interesting to me! The "Sturmböcke" are a very favorite topic to me! I heard a lot of tale´s about their bravery!!!

I guess you have seen the footage from the gun camera of Sturmbocke against B-17's...

Holger Kranich
Yea i have! "Youtube" is great for this purpose!

Please tell me, what kind of music do you like? Greek folk or anything else?

Aghis Barberopoulos Автор
Aah, some Greek yes, but mostly rock, progressive metal, and even Jazz and classical music and opera. I am a great fan of music. I am a big fan of "The Cure" since the eighties...

Holger Kranich
"Lullaby..." my favorite song of "The Cure"! They are great! I mostly listen to Metal in every way, like Metallica or Megadeth or Deathmetal and Grindcore! I knew that you will like Rock-Musik, you are supposed to do! But i´m also a fan of Wagner or Bob Marley... 🙂 Ah, crazy... But we are crazy anyway!!! (Just like Mr. Jürgens said!)🙂

It depends on the mood...When modelling, I prefer light, calm music, and it works! Some good piano or string musical score really helps my work. Try it!

Holger Kranich
I prefer good old " Auf die Fresse"-Music... (It means: On the Mouth...) like Heavy Metal! Hihihi...🙂 Couldnt be hard enough to listen, like Cannibal Corpse or Cradle of filth or Iron Maiden, for example... But you are right, it depends on the particular mood! sometimes i like Mozart as well!

Imagine rigging your aircraft while listening to Iron Maiden... Disaster, and then it's another toy for your son! 🙂
