Hoping for little if any seamwork on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) I'm a bit confused/unsure about the topside crosses. I've never seen such big ones on a STUKA. The early style (1939) were even smaller than the ones used during the BoB. Edited December 21, 2010 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early style (1939) were even smaller than the ones used during the BoB. That's what the kit came with. Anyway here's today's advance. A few more finishing details, and it could be wrapped up by Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
