"Seeadler" Junkers Ju 290 A-5 Revell 1/72

Post by BsYamato »

I started this beast at begin of summer i think.
Get with other precious subjects from a private seller this was another huge good kit from revell , measures on box shows 57,8 cm of wingspan and 39,6 of fuselage :( not the larger kit i have but really impressive and elegant.

Here box'n'sprues

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

pieces out of sprues few minutes after arrived to home :) a rapid testfitting was done

Image

Image

One of first cuts on the kit was to open the MG ouverture on the rear zone of fuselage... at leats more light and visibility for inners :)

Image

the usual invasion on the kitchen table for first works

Image

Already started some subassemblies

As the condor , engines can be in inspection mode, will decide after about these options, for now just gluing them and paint. More details as wires will come

Image

Image

seats , cargo ramp and wheels

Image

in detail

Image

Image

the long floor

Image

and a reinforcement on the bottom

Image

Primed some piece in black

Image

Image

propeller ready

Image

engines after drybrush

Image

Image

Till now was the few works done during the summer, some night ago just filled internal sink markings to prepare areas for effective works :)
Absolutely not an huge detailing work as on the sunderland but some scratchin i need to do :mrgreen:

Image

even the sunderland seems smaller compared to the giant eagle :D :D

Image

Very importart mods are about the wings struts, a good reinforcement is needed to prevent wings to not look as a giant gullwinged plane :ugeek:
In mind to put few plasticard structures or metal squares for this operation.

At the next!

That is a huge plane! Looks like a nice kit, those seats look very good.

You are building them faster than the industry pulls them out!

Thanks Jim, which beast you mean of three?

Last night resolved the wings bending problem , elaborate a structure to keep them up:
First intention was to put a three layers structure in vertical positio but wrong measures avoid this .. then i worked horizontally and a 5 layers structure was done. Three solid long stripes with two alternate layers of smaller rectangles to improve strengt, heres pictures

Image

Image

First version of structure

Image

and finished five layers

Image

Image

Also glued the main gear ,after few flash cleaning , to the wells but no pictures i take :(
