planecrazee Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I really wanted to enter this GB for two reasons - 1) I'm a big fan of all things luftwaffe - especially the Stuka and 2) despite this - I don't have a Stuka in my builds so far and wanted to rectify this. I did have the following kit in my stash so thought this would be the perfect chance to get it built: I'm still debating on which version I'll do - I'm swaying towards the standard splinter camo version rather than the North Africa scheme but let me know if you have any preference to help me decide. Here's where I'm up to after making a start today: Hopefully start to get some paint on the cockpit tomorrow and then keep making progress 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris You should do the European theatre version with the two green colours, trying to paint RLM 79 over that tan plastic may be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also my first Stuka build. 7 hours ago, Sturmovik said: You should do the European theatre version with the two green colours, trying to paint RLM 79 over that tan plastic may be difficult. Wouldn't a coat of primer solve this problem? Enjoy the build. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 That's a nice looking kit. I was expecting the original Revell mould with the opening cowling and basic engine. Is this an Italeri rebox? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hi John - yes this is an Italeri rebox and as you say, it is a nice kit and generally well detailed. Kris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
