All,

I did a bit more surgery and started fitting the crew and cabin together. I needed to get rid of the turtle deck to do this, but that's ok as the shape wasn't quite right anyway. I used the crew from the Revell RAF and Luftwaffe series with lots of cutting and surgery. I still need to do some reworking since the pilot is sporting ear phones and an oxygen mask!

But it's looking pretty cool based on the real photo from the book I have (see the photos) that the scene is based on.

Keep cutting, splicing, vacuuming and dreaming.....

Of doing the work you do - so original ! It looks like a lot of fun, the figures look great & can't you convert the mask and ear phones into some kind of scarf, I bet these people used a lot of scarfs

Great work Dan - as usual !

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature WWI Aircraft Kits.

  1. This Group Build will run until 31 December, 2011.

  2. Build as many kits as you like.

  3. Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

  4. Any markings are acceptable.

  5. Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
