Thanks for the kind words. For those who want a bit more info, I’ve used the Montex stencil set depicting the Ju87 B-2 trop deployed in Gambut, Libya in 1941. The RLM 70/71 paint is Gunze Sangyo acrylic as is the RLM 65 underside. The sandgelb overlay is RLM79 from Xtracrylix which looked rather bright until I did a colour wash in burnt sienna and then in black. Finally I added a small amount of white paint to Tamiya Matt Clear. When I blew it over with that, the colours toned down nicely plus I achieved an effect of light layers of sand on the wings. Interior was primarily Tamiya XF22 - RLM Grey (RLM 02) which is (I hope) the right colour! I was working on the basis that RLM 66 schwartzgrau was used later. Having heard so much bad press on the 1/24 kits, I thought this was a great kit, and if you have one stashed away, GET IT OUT! The only issues I had were a few broken pieces, but I can forgive that. The kit itself was about 35 years old and I must praise Airfix after sales who came through with replacements very quickly. Next up 1/24 scale Spit Mk1.

I think I have this now...?

Thanks, It's the kit interior enhanced with a little scratch work, aftermarket stencils and seatbelts.

OK - I'll try to put that right. Bear with

This is by way of a test, since I'm still a little technologically challenged. Trying to work out how to share photos, so apologies if this doesn't work. https://www.flickr.com/photos/157771830@N05/shares/6a3083 https://www.flickr.com/photos/157771830@N05/shares/CyR64E https://www.flickr.com/photos/157771830@N05/shares/00mWRG https://www.flickr.com/photos/157771830@N05/shares/01Ht11 I initially posted on the Stuka January and the original intention was to share the progress. Sadly I never got round to doing that. The aircraft is now in my brother in laws study, but I thought that some of you may be interested.

Thanks Guys,

At the risk of seeming terminally stupid. Is it possible to upload photos from the hard drive on my laptop?

Ok. Well looking at some of the work done by you guys, I can only hope I can live up to expectations. I can't help thinking I've made a rod for my own back. The good news is that Airfix are able to provide the missing part for a small charge, so hopefully I'll have that in the next few days. I'll drop some photos and updates in over the next few days.

Hi, Been out of contact for a while but building in the background. My my latest project is a 1/24 Airfix Stuka. I'm well into the project - and if of interest I'll share some photos. i have to say that given the poor perception of these old 1/24 scale kits, this one (which dates back 1970's) is going together really well. That said, I need some help. The rear section of the canopy was miss shapen and in trying to correct that I broke the damn thing. I'll have a go at fixing it, but in an ideal world I'd replace it. Does anyone one know where I can get one? I'm in touch with Airfix but it seems to be heading down a blind alley. Thx
