CedB Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Time for a straightforward build... please? My next one's the new tool Airfix Stuka: Untitled by Ced Bufton, on Flickr There's a review by John (back in January) with some nice sprue shots. It was with some trepidation that I found only one build here by thepureness and that's unfinished. Gulp. Admittedly I gave up on page 3 of the search (mostly bigger scale). I'm hoping it's not because things go awry? we shall see. Fondling the lovely sprues (there is some great detail) I did find one possible problem: Easy to fix (if needs be). I'll get started once the FR IXc is finished and the pink has left my eyes... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi Ced! I'm glad I've found your thread at the start, as I tend to miss them and only catch up when you're nearly (or even) finished. I'm very interested in this kit, as it's a famous type and I was expecting Airfix's B to be out in the shops. Anyway, this is in my shopping list and I'd like to see how it turns out and if any problems arise (I've had a few problems with Airfix kits, as you may know... ) Looking forward to seeing this one progressing. Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philp Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well it is about time I am hoping to get back to mine tonight but there is hockey and Castle and a few more I need to catch up on after the trip. Still want to get the fuselage together. The interior is nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 There is something about the Stuka that just looks like it has no sense of humour, and is going to kill people - sinister if you will. But that bent thingy means this one can't be taken seriously, so we should endeavour to have some fun with it. Back to you Ced. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Really looking forwards to this one Ced. It's in my stash for a rainy day although I have fondled it's parts. Will you be doing it as a Spanish Civil War or WWII aircraft? Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Ah good man Ced; I really must lay one of these in for the Plastic Cellar at Dapple Hall In the meantime I look forward to seeing how yours goes Cheers, Stew 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Ced builds yet another kit from my stash... ...hang on a minute Very keen to see how this one turns out, it certainly looks nice in the box but then, so many kits do! Good luck. Wez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I've got one in the stash (unlike Stew with his cellar, I bury mine under trees in my Deer Park for the plastic pigs to hunt a la truffles), had intended to build it alongside my Zvezda Stuka but something happened (or rather it didn't!).

Beard Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I assume you'll be hanging this one from the ceiling at an angle? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jaime Thanks Jaime and welcome! This and the Dornier need to be finished before I can put my BoB builds on the ceiling so it won't belong before that gets started too. S...STUKAS! ::ditches bicycle, runs for the hills:: Hi PC Ah, the famous scene from 'Battle of Britain'... here I go again, thinking about Susannah York, sigh... Are the double colons a 'special nomenclature'? Well it is about time I am hoping to get back to mine tonight but there is hockey and Castle and a few more I need to catch up on after the trip. Still want to get the fuselage together. The interior is nice. Hi Phil, sorry to keep you waiting! I stopped watching 'Castle' when, like many of the other US crime series, the writers seemed to think it was essential to introduce some 'female interest' into the dialog. I like the characters but I don't really care about their personal lives (I'm English after all and that sort of thing should be, er, personal). Criminal Minds almost lost my interest (just rescued itself) and 'Bones' is getting a bit 'beyond the pale'... "Yes, tough guy, I know there's a serial killer on the loose and we need to save the hostages, but first tell me, how is your relationship with your girlfriend / wife / estranged daughter going". Yuk. There is something about the Stuka that just looks like it has no sense of humour, and is going to kill people - sinister if you will. But that bent thingy means this one can't be taken seriously, so we should endeavour to have some fun with it. Back to you Ced. Hi Mike Fun with a Stuka? Hmmm. Better not eh? I'm hoping this will be a straightforward build and I can have a rest. Really looking forwards to this one Ced. It's in my stash for a rainy day although I have fondled it's parts. Will you be doing it as a Spanish Civil War or WWII aircraft? Tony Hi Tony I'll be doing the 1940 French scheme, 6G+AT (avoiding typing the unit name) Ah good man Ced; I really must lay one of these in for the Plastic Cellar at Dapple Hall In the meantime I look forward to seeing how yours goes Cheers, Stew Hi Stew I shall of course be stealing your ideas for the pilot painting... and probably do the Dornier chaps at the same time. Crikey, there's H colour numbers here I haven't seen for ages... they would have you paint the uniforms H94 'WWI Blue' and the harness H20 - that's Crimson! Some artistic licence required methinks! I may even have a go at the Splitterschutzbrille splinter-proof tinted goggles... Ced builds yet another kit from my stash... ...hang on a minute Very keen to see how this one turns out, it certainly looks nice in the box but then, so many kits do! Good luck. Wez Hi Wez - if you don't lock your doors... Look forward to you starting this one Ced, looks a very nice kit Rob Thanks Rob Cripes! You don't hang around do you? I've not seen this kit yet so will be interested to see how it goes.

hacker Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 There is something about the Stuka that just looks like it has no sense of humour, and is going to kill people - sinister if you will. . Much like the A-10 of today.l have been waiting for someone to have in progress build of one of these to have a look see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks Stu, very kind Hi hacker, welcome. Ah, the A-10... what an aircraft with even scarier pilots. I remember seeing a couple fly really low over the road and across a field. There was a line of trees on the other side of the field. Did he go over? Nope, flipped on his side to get the wingtip between the trees. Crazy. Stuka paused while I finish the FR IX. Bear with me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
