Good work Kevin!
Yep, I agree! I've got his 'German Aircraft Interiors 1939-45 Vol.1' here, which is great for details.
You wouldn't know by chance if he ever put out the proposed Volumes 2 and 3 of this work, woud you? I'd love to get them.

While not 100% it is 95% there my first resin part.I had lost this piece so bought another kit to cast it knowing I will build another one day.

Terry in asking around I do not think you are totally off about the color there maybe.It does appear that over time the paint changed color due to operation to possibily to an orange/amber.This is a comment in relation to a plane it appears seen in person
These lines were indeed red, at least in some cases. The preserved (rather than restored) DB 605B engine on display at the NASM shows some ancilliary lines on the rear and underside that are definitely red... Some sections seem to have faded to an orange/amber colour, either by exposure to heat or sunlight along the way

Ah, interesting stuff Kevin. so what I remember seing in that old Signal magazine was possibly the colour after the effect of heat.
Evan, I haven't seen any ads for those books, but then, it's a while since I looked at aviation book ads - too frightened I might spend too much!!
Great work Kevin...
Well it's just about there for the engine comparment.The piping on the bottom is actually being held by some old PE pieces I cut up.the guns are next not a whole lot is going to happen there.Again Guys thanks for the positive comments and the Gruppe build it really got me interested again.Cheers Kevin

Beautiful work Kevin! (Is that a Mustang bulkhead in the bottom pic??)
Interesting info too, so, a bit of a puzzle then...
Yes it is a A4K that is were I am hoping that this project takes me.The stuff all in the middle is scratch built the tank being out of milliput for the one Trump supplied was not even close.Kevin
