The next build has begun. This is Tamiya's excellent 1/48 Heinkel He 219A7. Currently the only aftermarket stuff I have for this kit is the Aires cockpit and Eduard masks. I may end up getting either Aires, or CMK's engine(s) set; depending on how much time I will put into this build. I am still researching an aircraft to base the build on, but I have started the cockpit which the following pictures depict. The Aires set is very well engineered and accurate. I have atached all the PE parts I can before painting, a few will have to be sprayed on the fret. Those parts are mostly those that will have gauges installed behind them.
Enjoy the pictures,
Ernest

I have finished the general and detail painting of the cockpit. I painted it RLM66 Schwarzgrau and picked out the detail with various colors. The parts have also been sprayed with two coats of Future to prep them for a wash. Next up will be dry brushing and weathering.
Enjoy the pictures,
Ernest

Thanks for the kind words Simon and TRM.
I have finished weathering the cockpit and it is ready to assemble. Following are a few pictures of the various parts. I am fairly pleased with how the weathering turned out, though there is always room for improvement.
Enjoy the photos,
Ernest

The cockpit is installed and the fuselage halves have been glued together. Following are a few pics of the completed cockpit.

Completed the display base for the model today. It represents a well used maintenance stand. I built it using evergreen plastic scribed, sanded and airbrushed to look like worn concrete. I used filters, washes and a little dry brushing to provide contrast and bring out details. I added a little grass to provide a bit of color.
Enjoy the photos!

A bit of progress to report. I decided to display an engine being serviced on the Uhu and brought a CMK resin kit of a DB603, firewalls, radiator, etc. I used pictures of the engine that is displayed at the NASM in Washington D.C. as a reference and got to work. The engine is built and both firewalls are in place. The first 3 pictures show the basic engine after construction. The next 3 photos show the engine after a little superdetailing using copper wire and scrap plastic. The final picture is the cowling. I had to bore out the center to get the engine to fit properly.
Enjoy the photos,
Ernest
