It is going to be an expensive build with all that filler. . .

Coming along nicely my friend! Keep fillin'

Thanks my friends @airbum and @JohnB!

Here is another update:

Wheel wells looked a bit lifeless, so I added appropriately cut mesh pieces at both MLG and NLG wells

Looking busier now!

The 2nd round of gap filling cyano session is in process, and goes really well!

If you look at the port wing top root area, you will notice an air bubble, which was just under the surface; I took no risks: I bravely revealed the hole with my Excel blade tip and flooded it with cyano...

About the camo: I lean towards painting this whatif plane as close to reality as possible (...go figure...lol...).

At the last days of WWII, how would the rushed-in-flight testing prototype be painted? RLM02 as base, with some green mottling hastilly applied? What do you think?

Thanks for watching, my friends!

I think I might go for a late war camouflage scheme. Even late-war Me262s and Me163s had full camouflage. Or maybe you can go for a cool experimental scheme that you create?

Thanks my friends @gblair and @johnb!
Have to decide because moment of truth is very close!

Thanks my friend @airbum!
Moment of truth is approaching!

The resin landing gear is not bad in terms of detail, but (if it survives after the cleanup...) I am almost certain it would sag under the significant weight of the model. So, I did a bit of leftover bits dungeon research and came out with some styrene options (to be heavilly modified, of course):

There is also an option to modify an Alpha Jet LG set, that I have also available. Maybe the Alpha Jet set is more correct as a base, since it has roughly the same LG design as the Heinkel.

By the way, the Heinkel is ready for the paint shop.

Maybe RLM76 overall with green mottling, RLM66 cockpit, natural metal (or RLM02) LG, wells and intake trunking? How about a metal plate at the guns area?

Cheers, great followers!
