giemme Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Most probably it was caused by hot weather. It was very hot yest. I agree with Paulo here, heat is suspect number one. Heat? Here is cold and rainy, I'm a little envious ... Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Righto! Just because I couldn't bear it if I was still making this kit in 2015 I have pushed on utilising a bit of time off work for the Christmas break! Awesome weather here in little old Adelaide by the way Well the only thing between me and the finish line is a few fiddly bits and yes......the dreaded canopy. So with the kids out of my hair and playing happily with their Christmas gifts I knuckled down, grit my teeth and masked for like three plus hours!!!! This is what I ended up with...and for three hours effort it's still pretty crappy!! So thats it sprayed up. Next step let it dry for a while....install the gun and aerial plus some little underfuselage doodads....get the canopy in place and then send this evil beast to the cabinet of glory. I realise now that pretty much I cant see a damn thing so I suggest for the new year I will either get a new pair of glasses or a new hobby! Cheers Bruce 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenCJ Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Hope Christmas was good. My wife bought me a whole heap of different Coopers beers and drank them before I had a chance. It is raining here and only 22 deg - winter. Canopies can be a right pain, I always put them off till last. Should do them first then the pain is over early. Have a look at this: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234973040-172-revell-junkers-ju-87-gd-stuka-tank-buster/ I will try and post some progress pics tomorrow.

Winenut Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Crack the Champers and celebrate! I managed to finish the Stuka before 2014 expired! I have decided on my next project...it's the Academy P-47 Bubbletop "Eileen"...... because that has the EASIEST canopy in my stash! Anyway thanks for looking or following. I've really appreciated the help and encouragement along the way. Here we go!... And my daughter took some photos with her new Christmas camera..... Thanks for looking from Bruce and Millie!
