Jpthedog Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I see we have a couple of the wonderful looking Airfix Ju87B already in the GB and I wonder if i can join with the same. I intend to build the boxed Condor Legion option. I started this last week at my local modelling group as it was a build night, so here is starting pic and progress to date. Obligatory and excellent box art! Interestingly 'designed and manufactured in the UK' - surpise and welcome. To prove not started! Cockpit progress on build night - I take my time! Main cockpit parts painted. Matt black primer then RLM02 light spray to hopefully pick out the detail Seems to be a step up in quality from other Airfix kits I've built. Now waiting for aftermarket pilot seat with seatbelts. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Of course you can join in the fun - everybody is invited. It is interesting that most new tool 1/48 kits are of the B-1. I guess for most one Berta is enough and the B-1 was released first. Enjoy your build. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Cliff Thanks - I was looking forward to the build as the Stuka has always been a favourite aircraft of mine. The kit is crisply moulded but there are a few sink holes and the fit is 100% in places and then difficult to fit in others, so I lost enthusiasm. With the glazing going on I'm getting my mojo back for it - then remembered the canopy masking..... Will push on for the GB deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpthedog Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 OK so I've run out of time on this one - painting has commenced so its home straight but will not be competed for today's deadline. I'm blaming the Nordic GB, for which I completed an amazing two models for! Also weather even in NE Scotland was lovely yesterday, so the garden got this model makers attention.... Here is where I got to this afternoon: Primed with Tamiya light grey from a can\, usually smooth.... Tried some mottling with a light grey mist coat Blue underside again subtly mottled - too subtle in the photo! So that's it - white wingtips, then onto masking the jagged camo pattern Well done to all those who completed on time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Even though not finished in time, the build looks great and I hope you keep at it. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Peter Thanks Peter Its OK and potentially a nice kit. There are a few too many sink marks that I decided not to fill but once the painting is done I think they wont be too readily seen. Painting is my favourite part of model making, but difficult to get a nice clean finish I find. I will finish it and post on the main RFI page.
