Davek72 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 A little late to the show I would like to join with the second of my Ju 87B's from Eduard's delightful 1/44 dual combo. I built the first one in desert colours for the MTO last year and enjoyed it a lot. This time round I am going to to the Condor Legion markings. I have a possible plan to build a Stuka in similar colours in 1/144, 1/72 and 1/48....not all for this GB though. The part count is, as expected, pretty low. If past experiences are to go by it will go together fairly easily...its the painting that tricky. Cheers Dave 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really as we are just a week into the GB. And having a build in 1/144 is a first and we have now all the major scales in this GB Enjoy your build.

Corsair very kindly jumped in with the answer😉 Thanks for watching. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davek72 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Despite being offline I have managed some build time 🙂 All the plastic together (other than ordinance which I may not add) and some etch. Then some careful painting with brush...airbrush not available at the moment. Next step some gloss varnish, the decals and a bit of weathering....then all I have to worry about is the canopy...gulp.

Davek72 Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 So Mrs K and I had a few people round last night for dinner...nothing massive but a fair number of bottles were consumed. Kicked the last ones friends at 1.30 this morning. Now a key difference between me and Mrs K is that she really really suffers the day after. As a result she has been mainly bed or sofa bound today. So notwithstanding 2 kids under 8 I managed to get a really good amount of time at the work bench (aka dinning room table). That is a long way of saying I've finished. I took the opportunity to also try my very first attempt at a base as well. I can't believe that in 47 years (37 ish modelling) I have never build a base but there you go. Moderately happy. Looks better than some of my 1/72 efforts. Thanks you for looking. Cheers Dave 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Very nicely done Stuka and base. I've only ever done two bases, both back in high school using verlinden products. One a field setting for a piper cub the other a carrier deck for WW2 USN subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly enjoyed the base and will have another go soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
