mustang1989 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I built this a couple of years ago and it took me a good 7 months to complete. I used an Aires cockpit update set with a modified Hasegawa flooring to fit right due to the Aires flooring not being the right dimensions , Eduard canopy mask set and Tally Ho decals. I had mixed feelings about the decals as they laid down great but to me they seemed slightly out of scale. I ended up having to splice in a section of the snake from an old set of Cutting Edge decals that I had that were mostly unusable due to their age and where I had them stored. Paint is all Model Master Acrylic. The oil reservoir access opening and the wing mounted machine gun details are out of a Verlinden update set I had tucked away for 15 years and had forgotten about until I started building. It's a tough crowd when you enter "Stuka land" because there's so many great builds out there. Here goes anyway: 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 That's really nice, great job. Whatever you had to do with the snake you can't tell, looks just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
