Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone I present my stuka from the STGB. I used the old Monogram 1/48th kit repop from Revell. It represents a Stuka from Nachtschlactgruppen #9 based in Italy from March of 1944 to the end of the war. The name “Gerda” is fictitious its just there to represent the young pilots wife or sweetheart. Here is a link to the WIP. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235037785-its-a-bent-winged-bird-just-not-a-corsair/ Without further talk I present “Gerda.” Some closeups of the I.P. & gunsight. The exhaust detail. The S.D.-2 bomblets, there are 96 bomblets represented with 88 wires total. I hope “Gerda” meets with your approval. And as usual questions, comments, or jokes ?

Roger Newsome Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Gerda is a beauty Dennis and it was a pleasure following your progress through the build and painting phases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelT Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I just read the WIP thread and I have to make comment on how you guys on here never cease to amaze me. The first few posts with all that armor goo and ragged cut plastic for the exhausts looked frightening to me, but from all that you create something as beautiful as this finished aircraft. I was a little disappointed not to see how you managed to paint that mirror pattern, it's beyond my comprehension to even guess. You've created a beautiful looking model, a real pleasure to look at. I've still no idea what scale it is in though, perhaps I missed that somewhere, I couldn't even see it on the box photo unless that's a 1:48 in the bottom right corner? Amazing work and very informative. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauls9cb Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Fantastic camo job. More fascinating than the barley discernible BoB splinter stuff. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliments ... For the Mirrorwave I painted the standard german splinter scheme. Set my decals on to that. Then spent about 90 minutes rolling Blutac worms into the wave pattern. Sprayed the custom green and done. My apologies it is the old Monogram 1/48 stuka reboxed by revell.

Gorby Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That's an excellent build Dennis. The paint scheme and the dead centipe bomblets look exceptionally good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG X Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hey Dennis - this has turned out brilliantly and I am certainly a fan of that camo - TOP JOB MATE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Great work on an old bit of plastic. I remember it from years ago, I think it included Hans Ulrich Rudel’s machine as an option. Pete Edited June 17, 2018 by Buzby061 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfinished project Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 One of the nicest schemes I’ve seen on a Stuka. All the extra detail you’ve added is top notch 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 It's appropriately sinister, like a propaganda Stuka. Scary, for the enemy, scary to the enemy. Reptilian almost. Modelling as an art form. Really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
