johnny akes Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi Folks My first of the year! This is a classic Trumpeter kit, i.e. 3/4 good, 1/4 poor/bizarre: the front end and wheel spats are wrong in shape and size, a detailed engine is provided which is too small and can't be seen anyway, a 1000kg bomb is included which is 4 times bigger than the Stuka ever carried, the wing mounted guns and gun blisters are included but absent from the instructions etc. etc... I've used the Brian Fawcett resin AM set to correct the front end forward of the engine firewall and undercarriage and I've robbed a 250kg bomb from my Revell Ju88. The 'Jericho Trumpet' is scratch built. Regards J A. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Superb job, J A, and you definitely made it look like a Stuka! Very impressive paintwork and subtle weathering. What scale is it? Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Excellent! The technical inaccuracies you describe are interesting and somewhat bizarre. A 1000-pounder four times accurate size? Must have got their scale maths wrong. 🙄 Nonetheless, you sure got it looking fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
