Zarichta Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) This was my first in 2017. I finished at the end of January. It's a bad kit, but the dimensions are ok. I really wanted an "A" version on my shelf. The Stuka is one of my favorite WWII aircraft. I scratch the interior and I used an old PE set from Eduard (recommended for Italeri kits). I adjusted many things around the kit - pitot tubes, flaps links, rewrote lines, small rivets, and so on... I used Gunze acrylics. Thanks for watching. Cristian Zarichta.

Meatbox8 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 All that effort has certainly paid off. A superb looking 'Anton'. That is one attractive colour scheme, beautifully rendered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Outstanding! The colors look very good- what paint did you use, if I may ask? Best Anton build I have seen in 1/72 scale. I am jealous! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My simple painting recipe for the RLM 61/62/63/65 standard: RLM61 - Gunze aqueous H406 with gunze thinner; RLM62 - Tamiya XF65 with Tamiya thinner, small drops of Tamiya retarder and Pledge Future; RLM63 - Tamiya XF25 with the same previous recipe. RLM65 - Gunze H67 with gunze thinner. Any other question, ask mate. Cheers; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 You have made a lovely job of this kit. I have the early MPM version (it has the flaps moulded onto the wings) and later Special Hobby one (lots of complicated etch). Is this the later one? If so, yes, it's a very tricky kit. Parts attached to sprues at awkward places, over complicated etch attachment of parts/interior and not the best fit of parts. I had to put it away.. On the other hand this shows what someone with far more tenacity can achieve . I too, really like this early Luftwaffe scheme, thank you for the colour recipe: duly noted. I must pull mine out of the 'Drawer of Doom'. TonyT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did all new with scratch, but I used th etch air breaks. It is very complicated too ... small and fragile metals / plastics pieces. Thank you so much for yours comments mate. Really thanks!

Thanks mate! No, I use only in the painting process. It is summer in Brazil and it is very hot, even here living in South. It is necessary to be use, because the hand sweat and mark it. Especially when using Gunze. After finishing and varnish applied , it is not necessary. But always clean hands.
