Gisbod Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Finally got round to finishing and photographing the beautiful Airfix 1/72 Stuka. The first in my intended ‘Battle of Britain’ mini collection Thanks for looking in... Guy ps Me109E next, and a Spitfire Mk1 on the bench... 73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauls9cb Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 As Steve says, it's a great piece of miniature a/c production. Sadly, I'mm all fingers and thimbs myself so would find this scale more of a challenge than the larger scale stuff I usually attempt. I dis-interred an old Airfix 1/24 scale that a friend had in a garage which also was an attempt to show a used and abused Ju 87 from 6/StG 1 and I'm always easy to confuse when it comes to the background colour for the staffel shield, sometimes shown as pale blue but I went for white, right or wrong I don't know. Anyway it's a great model, peerlessly finished. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 An absolute masterpiece. I only wish I had your skills. FFH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny akes Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 That's very nice, love the paint job. I'm not a fan of 1/72 generally because panel lines can't be anything but trench-like, but your Stuka gets away with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 An absolute gem. Had to scroll back to the top to check the scale. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I can only quote what all the rest have written and just add this: "Wish it were mine!" Because then I would: 1) have a beautifull model in my cabinet 2) actually have finished something! Cheers Hans J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael51 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Guy, What a superb effort. The camouflage application and demarcation is remarkably fine and that is a very clean cockpit. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairtrigger Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Really outstanding, I enlarged the shot of the cockpit and was stunned at the detail you have managed to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
