corsaircorp Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hello Dears !! I'm very glad to call this one finished !! What could ever possibly go wrong... Has been wrong... I surely messed up since I read here and there that it's a pretty good kit... To no avail for me... So Let's go on the Eastern front, Spring 1944, General Winter is retreating but Her Majesty Raspoutitza is taking her toll !! This one represent one of the Hans Ulrich Rudel's bent wing bird At this time he was at the Stab 3 SG 2 well !! The name of the game for me, was to represent the Aircraft with a worn out winter camouflage... The white paint used was a Casein based paint and was qhicly wiped out by the weather and the maintenance. The wheel pants were teared out to prevent the jamming due to the really sticky mud !! I wanted something different of the all White Stuka, However the white paint was applied with street brushes... Paints are Life color and I used Flory white to attain this effect !! The interior is fairly good, I added some bits and bobs here and there but not too much ! This one was already in her way when I signed to BM, so there is no WiP ! You see @Christer A, I'm cleaning up my stash i like the effect of the pants less wheels, and thus the projection of mud are reproduced too I modified the armament according to a photo !! 50Kg bomb came from a Tamiya kit, modified with scratched fuse extenders ! Ok gents, I'll try some familly pics and outside pics if the weather permit ! Let me know what you think about this "Also a bent wing bird" Have a great modelling time !! Take care ! Sincerely.

Spitfire31 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Simply put – one of the best Stukas I've seen in model form! The worn-off winter camouflage is a brilliant idea and superbly implemented. The effect is very convincing, as is the rest of the finish and weathering. Your German is not quite in the same class as your modelling, though… 😉 The word (in singular) that you're looking for in your heading is Sturzkampfflugzeug – a rather unwieldy concatenation of Sturz (fall), Kampf (fight) and Flugzeug (aircraft). Final word: awsome model! Now just waiting for a diorama of the same class Kind regards, Joachim 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The worn-off winter camo has been very nicely achieved. Very realistic. Must say, your cockpit detail and canopy masking are spot-on too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28ZComeback Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Imagine rolling along in your T-34 minding your own business when this bad boy comes screaming down! Very impressive and I love the light application of white paint. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Very nice looking Stuka - the worn off winter paint and general tired look is very convincing. Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when you know that they will not shoot at you, it's IMPRESSIVE !! I did'nt use paint for the winter camo but Flory weathering stuff ! Great stuff indeed ! 13 hours ago, Baldy said: Very nice looking Stuka - the worn off winter paint and general tired look is very convincing.

I started it long before joining BM, so there is no WiP but it appear in some of thread... I think that there are no many builds under the bushes...

Christer A Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Now that is a nice Stuka. Great job CC! But I think I must force you out from the Serial kitstarter club, since you're actually finishing stuff. That's not how to do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The landing gear is fom Quickboost, usually for the Hasegawa, but it fit perfectly to the Italeri one ! 3 hours ago, Luiz said: Great weathering job! Looks very impressive! Luiz. Well, Thank you Sir ! Since there is rain, and some drops of water in between the rain squalls, exterior pics are not very possible now... Meanwhile, the Spitfire is going on well !! Surely one more RFI before 2020.... The schedule is established, there will be a Skyknight, a Shagbat and a Phantom... Then I don't know yet... Thnks for the support and the kind words Gents !!

paulsbrown Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 That certainly looks like a battle worn aircraft. Looks even more sinister without the wheel covers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hello Dears, Here are some pics of what can be THE NIGHTMARE of any vehicle driver in WW II the philosophy lying under each and every one of these Mud movers is quite different, but the result is the same.... They can ruin your day easily ! I think that the exterior pics idea is to be forgotten now... Thanks for your support !! Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Excellent work, you've captured the look of an aeroplane that's seen a lot of hard work. Still not got a Stuka in my collection, I must remedy that. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adjustements on the italeri are... Well, I better don't tell ! On 12/12/2019 at 11:37 PM, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Hello Cousin... Another good looking build.

Aaaaand a third bent wing bird too, which is my second favourite aircraft !! Also a Navy bird bit a bit bigger.... Sincerely. CC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
