Ok here we go! I will be doing a kitbash of the Sf3D Fledermaus by NITTO. Here are my start up pictures.



Well work begins as usual with the cockpit. The Fledermaus cockpit is pretty sparse so there is lots of chances for gizmology. Today I have been working behind the seat.









Some paint added. More later









Detailing the cockpit continues with adding the interior framing and other control surfaces to right side of the fuselage. More buttons and switches to come, but this is last nights progress.











More to come so stay tuned.

Very cool project! It's great to see more and more MaK projects here.

I love your superdetailing; you're right, this kit is a real opportunity to add thing. I like the stringers/framing you've added.

Have you decided on a finish yet, merc or Strahl?

If I may offer a heads-up, I know of other guys who built the Fledermaus, who found the kit landing gear a little weak and prone to breaking. They replaced the struts with metal rod or tubing, for added strength.

I look forward to your next installment!

A little more progress last night. Added some more detail to the interior right side. Another panel and some wiring. I also decided to add on to the instrument panel by constructing an additional wing on each side out of sheet styrene.

Added the new IP details. The graphic were down loaded from the internet and attached to some styrene. When all is dry I will coat with Future, mast, and paint.

The work goes on. Last night I desided to work on the left side of the cockpit and added the stringers and also a throttle assembly. Here are some pictures. I think you can see what I tried to do.

Fantastic details on the instrument panel, Terry! I like your application of the images for those video screens, great idea. Great progress!

Ok I know I have been tedious about this project and you all are probably bored stiff, :frantic but things are getting closer to being done in the office. More details have been added and center section is in the process of being repainted a darker grey.
