bruce bay Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Here's my attempt at Italeri's 1/48 Stuka. It was built for a mate, and had some ups and downs along the way. I used solder to add wiring to the interiors and the canon, and used P-Mask's canopy mask set - which was perfect, and saved a lot of effing and blinding. I did buy a Quickboost spinner / prop - but lost it and decided to stick with the kit's offering after that. Was a fun build - and as you can see I went for a very, very weathered end result, with wet mud, worn winter camo, and a lot of grime. I personally think I went overboard on that count, but don't think my friend will notice too much. Here are a few interior / detail shots, and the final results. Thanks for looking - all comment and criticism welcome - there's a basic and brief WIP thread here. Thanks - Bruce 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Ford Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I like it, was wondering how weathered it was going to be as I scrolled down. It's certainly been in the wars. Love the detail in the top pic. Martin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie(kinda) Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Love the detail and weathering. Excellent technique. How do feel about the colours; they look a little bright to me. But then I'm (a) old and myopic and (b) not seeing it in the flesh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the colours... yes - I couldn't agree more. I used Molotow spray paints, and got what I thought would approximate to the right base greens for the splinter camo. However - once on the kit they looked far too bright. I did an oil wash to take the edge off, which was some use, though limited. I think by the time I had scrubbed all the white / hairspray off the exposed areas were back to their full, over-bright glory. Won't be using those shades again!

Gorby Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Very nice job and particularly well painted on the interior. I did this a couple of months ago and although the kit has its faults, I enjoyed it. I also added some pipe-work on the engine, as it would look bare without it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks - again I agree - was a great return for little effort adding some piping to the engine. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
