jean Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi Steve. well it's nice seeing someone enjoying a kit to that extent! Italian schemes are really cool. Good choice. The funny thing is that the box artwork looks much older than 1978. Aren't we picky?!!!! Have a lot of fun! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Jean,the funny thing is this boxing is from 2000! The kit is identical to my previous build but the Italian scheme has upper wing markings making it a bit more interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Morning folk's,with the weather ruling out outside spraying on other stuff I,ve had time for this build,being the same kit as my other entry I skipped sprue shots and cracked on with the it,same interior set up and treatment too.

jean Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hi Steve, now that is a fast build. Italian markings are really sexy on a Stuka, so you are choosing just right. Is the opening of the air intake on the starboard side hollow or blind? Can't really be sure, and I have never built this Airfix kit. Keep having fun!

modelling minion Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Blimey, you blink and he's built another one! Nice choice of markings too Steve as Stukas do look good in Italian markings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Afternoon folk's,I really do love these kit's what a pity there wasn't the wide choice of different scheme's I'd do a few more.Anyway here's she is as of this morning after a primer coat of gray and a couple of coats of the blue and greens using a flat brush I used no masking so saved a fair bit of time, I'm just starting the yellow ID band waiting for the first coat to dry. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Nice job Steve. Tamiya paints? Did you brush or spray the undercoat? Davey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Davey,yes Tamiya acrylics mixed to my not 100% accurate take on RLM colours,on this one I did brush on the primer rather than spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Good Lord the worst decals I've had since two days ago on the Heller Viggen! Can't do anything with them so thankfully I have spares and by painting a yellow nose,fuselage band and underside wingtips I can produce a Balkan based Luftwaffe machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Steve you should do your next one in a desert a home. I'm doing my B in a simple sand colour with a white band and red G. I think it looks rather cool. I'm sure you will be able to whack it out in a weekend. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just caught up with your two excellent builds, Steve, very well done with these old Airfix kits - I was interested to see the improvement in detailing in these '2nd generation' kits over the original 'red stripe baggings'. Also, impressive brush painting with no masking! That's my kind of modelling (if you can get away with it). Enjoyed these ones. All the best. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
