Nice hobby room.....I mean sign!! I believe I saw a guy build a model of his hobby room that looked real similar to this. Do I have the right guy/ hobby room?

Ok fellas, I've got what I consider a major update. I've got the Tyson Chicken Legs (aka landing gear) installed on this thing. You know most times landing gear aint that big a deal to me and at first glance a Stuka, having no visible struts or oleos,let alone brake lines and all, wouldn't be that bad. It turned out to be harder than it looked. The wheel spats had a nasty seam line running down the middle and was CLEARLY visible from the front. It took alot of sanding and elbow grease to clean those things up to say the least. The tire and wheel assys weren't bad (although I forgot to prime them before I used acrylic MM paints and masked off) even though I had to paint em twice. But like I've heard and I like to say, "That's modeling folks!". I've moved on to the bombs , which have more seam lines than 10 pairs of blue jeans. The centerline bomb is 7 parts so there's plenty of opportunity for gaps and seam lines. After the wheel spats, it's all good. Here's the current progress, I've still got to install the small propeller/ siren on the wheel spat you see in the first pic here:

Those guys had a knack for technology and radical aircraft concepts and some, like this one, were flown. Another bird, the Ho-229, was also flown. Someday I'll get a 48th scale version of that plane to build.....................as soon as I find a place to display it. lol -
Came in the mail yesterday. These Accurate Miniature kits are amazing OOB and I've been wanting one of these for YEARS!! These things usually go for a pretty penny but found it still sealed up in the plastic for 25 bucks.

If there's one thing I like it's unusual aircraft like this one which is nicely represented here. Alot of the Luft 46 stuff was "out there" but there were some good ideas floating around in all of those concept planes and subsequently real planes such as this. Thumbs up on the build and something different Phillip! -
Well folks I managed to get the flat coat/ sunbleached effect going. I mixed up some MM flat acrylic with a few drops of light grey and cut it all with 70% ISO. It gives me the desired look I'm after. Here's the before coat shot and the after coat shot . Will be moving on to undercarraige and all the other stuff next. I hope to have her on wheels soon! Another after shot:
