Roland SachsenhoferThank you guys for your comments! The Cockpit has been enhanced spare-box etched parts. A lot of space for improvisions because of the fictive nature of the subject- quite a fun so far!

Roland SachsenhoferSome pictures of the progress. Next step will see the gloss black underside sprayed; this will also serve as the base for Alclad NMF.

Roland SachsenhoferThe Bat-Bird with gloss black surface. That will be the color of the underside, on the upper side Alclad will be attached.

Roland SachsenhoferThank you Sören!
Got some further steps done. I was really eager to see the layers of masking tape removed!
I put a variation of Alclad shades on the surface- but not too much: it should represent painted Alu, not an NMF.
Next step will see a whole bunch of decals being applied.

David ThorThat´s a really interesting scheme. Did you come up with it by yourself?

Roland SachsenhoferThank you David. The camo was conceived by myself, suggesting night bomber missions with dark underside added at unit level. My primary goal was to show the Ar.555 with bare metal colours, but I tried to make it a little more interesting by applying the black. I always found the Korean-war B 29 appealing, so I tried to get something similar.

Bart Goesaertintriguing camo, and well applied... it's always nice to see old ideas turned into new things. Nice work

Tim HeimerAwesome work on this! Awesome plane, never heard of or saw this one before.

Roland SachsenhoferThank you guys!
Timothy, that is no miracle, the whole plane is totally factitious. Just a paper tiger- but one of the attractive kind!

David ThorLooks really good, can´t wait to see what it looks like when the masking is taken off. 🙂

Roland SachsenhoferThanks! I have re- moved the masks now- and I am eager to show you the result with the next picture update!
I was not happy with the color of the jet pipes, so I re-sprayed them today. Pictures of all that actions will follow today.

Soeren R.The camo looks great. For me one of the best What-Ifs camos till now for this one!😉

Roland SachsenhoferThank you Sören, you words really make me proud! My Ar.555 stands on it´s own legs now. Was a kind of patient work to get all four wheel on the earth in a simulated "weighted condition. I had to sand very patiently- but now it works! 🙂
Nearly all is finished by now- besides it´s still a glider by now 🙂
I am hopefully to make the roll out tomorrow with the engine nacelles attached!

Roland SachsenhoferFinished! For the roll out I would like to show you 18 pictures of the finished Ar.555. Was quite a nice modeling experience- I hope you like the outcome!

Bart GoesaertAnd we do... nice build and model, love the small details as the landing lights that are folded out...

Alec KVery nice work Roland! The bare metal finish is excellent, and I love the red stencils 👍

Roland SachsenhoferThank you mates, your reply really makes me glad! I happily recommend this kit to everybody wanting to try out something slightly different 🙂
