ScanmanDan Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Progress; Started painting. Still real rough ) Manu--Too late... Started painting the sucker. I've made that many mistakes on this bird...(shakes head) 1/24 is great in that you can put so much in but I could get to chasing my own tail and never get the sucker finished. I'll move on and burry my mistakes I would have been better off doing a better job of researching before I started messing about but I was just going to bang this together so I could have some fun painting it. The Stuka was to be the detailed bird. Why do I always do that. Thanks for the pictures the are super and answer some questions I had. I've got to add that chain links in the right cockpit track...DOH!!! Thanks for the support. Keeps me sane and motivated. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScanmanDan Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Progress; All day to work this up. Scratched up a gun sight and had to cobble together the IP as it comes as two separate parts. More work to do on it and I have to try and shoehorn it into the fuselage. But that's a job for tomorrow. A big thanks to LSPKev for the Airscale IP decals, Thanks mate.

ScanmanDan Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 ARRRRRRRRRGH! Two hours this morning trying to get the IP into the cockpit. It's in but I had to cop off the IP shroud to get it in. Also the top bit of the IP just doesn't fit right. I think I needed to hack off a bit more from the top IP to snug it into the shroud. As it sits now it blanks off the lower IP. I don't know why I'm getting too fussed about this as no one but me and you guys ever know. I'm off to go and find my 'Happy Place'. Serenity NOW! Modelling is such fun. Thanks Radleigh for the comments. They keep me sane. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScanmanDan Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Bashed a bit more on poor Anton. Cowl is now glued together . I had to add a big strip of styrene to get it all to work. Hope it will all look okay in the end. Started to mess with the landing gear but running into problems getting all the angles right and the wheel tracking straight. Worked a bit on the canopy putting in some internal detail and starting to put some paint on. Here's where I'm at now. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Nice work so far Dan. What have you used for the hinge? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScanmanDan Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks Steve, I've been superglueing short lengths of .03 brass tube on a thin wire core. I used little bits of paper as spacers to get even gaps between the tubes. Works okay but I made them over long. they should stop short at the front. Sigh, always the way. I bother to look at the reference photos AFTER I add the details... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
