Lippisch Album WIP

The box 

The wheels are changed by some wheels out of the spare box! 

The exhaust needed to be sanded a little bit to erase some production marks 

Painted the inside of the aircraft, first the gray that was used for the cockpit, when that settled a bit, some layers of hairspray and then 'nato black' out of a Tamiya praying can. 

Then it was time to close up the whole thing, cut some parts out of a sheet of styrene and voila 🙂) It's not so visible on the picture though what I did... 

Main focus that day was to finish the cockpit, didn't work out since I forgot some stuff at home and couldn't get at the convention. was able to finish a lot of other stuff, including these selfmade belts out of tamiya tape 

Inside of the aircraft is done, time to close everything up! 

Here it is, everything ready for paint! 

Started with some black out of the spray can again, taped up the walkway and landing skid and painted the aircraft in an overal grey coat. Then some future to seal it all up so I can get decaling 

Layer of future and decals are applied. Time for another coat of future and get started on the kart in the meantime. 

Kart was painted in a black coat from another spray paint can. Weathering followed, don't have any build up pics of that (I sorta forgot), but you can see the end result in the following pics together with the Lippisch. 

 

 

Will get some better pictures of it al later 😉
