  1. Hi Ladies and Gentlemen, well the Ju 87 B-1 I started last January in the "Stuka GB" is at long last finished. The Airfix kit is great and the engineering impressive, so the build was never boring. A bit frustrating at times, but what kit is not. I had not finished a kit for a long time, so this comes as a fantastic breath of fresh air. I did make mistakes that did not facilitate a speedy build. Never too late to learn. -I tried to mix acrylics and enamel paints with the splinter pattern. I was curious to see what the result would be. Well I tried and won't do it again. The ridges one often gets with brush painting are devilishly hard to remove without damaging the acrylic paint... So in many places I decided it was safer to leave the ridges than ruining the whole paint job. Still, a lot of touch ups were necessary. -The closed canopy I wanted to use got damage beyond repair... Don't ask. So I had to use the open canopy, which is really un-fun to use...Painting the inner structure became a moment of intense loneliness. -Because I had masks, I decided to use them, which I seldom do. They worked well but left a sticky residue on the transparencies, that I had a hell of a time to remove! Hand painting them works actually better for me. -Re the decals, I disagree with the background color of the Gruppe shield. Xtradecal gives it light blue on their BoB sheet and I agree with them. So I used most of their decals. The design is not perfect though and I had to use a couple of Airfix decals. The funny thing is that the Airfix decals bedded themselves better in the panel lines than the Xtradecal decals that I found stiffer, even if they look great once on the model. But the above remarks do not mean that I did not enjoy the build. I did enjoy it tremendously, and I would build another Airfix Stuka without any hesitation! So I found answers to some of the question marks I had, and I had a great time. Here are a few photos taken outside today in the harsh African sun. Feel free to comment, as I still have a lot more to learn. Thanks for watching these photos and for your support and advice during this long build! Keep having fun. JR
  2. Hi everybody, the Stuka GB has just finished, and as usual I haven't manage to finish my build. But this time I am only about a week short, so things are improving!!! Here is a link to my thread in the Stuka GB, for the ones interested. For @Ray_W I have not been successful in my quest for ammonia at our neighbors. The blasted thing was so flat that it could have been water. BUT... there was a glass bottle marked Windolene, and upon opening it out of sheer curiosity, my olfactory system was put out of commission by the sheer power of ammonia coming out of the bottle!!! The poison must have been manufactured during Rhodesian days looking at the label, but it has not lost any power! So the cockpit clear parts are already soaking in it, and we shall see tomorrow! I really do pray it will deal with the Klir disaster. Cheers. JR
