Work In Progress Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) 12 hours ago, Josip said: What I miss is a more defined two tone cammo on the upper surfaces. Otherwise very good! Looks spot on to me. RLM 70/71 are a lot closer together than a lot of model paints have traditionally represented them. http://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2010/01/pre-war-emil.html for some examples.

Thanks, Josip - the pictures haven't captured the real colours all that well to be honest. The variation is a more obious with the human eye. 11 hours ago, Alan P said: Very well said 👏👏👏 Very glad you chose realism over stylistic trends, it looks absolutely fantastic. Really impressed that these grand old kits scrub up so well in the right hands. Alan Thanks, Alan - I know cleaner models are not to everyone's liking but I get so nervous about over-weatheirng a model and ruining it. I'm contemplating doing a big F-14 soon so I'm going to have to be brave and weather the life out of that as it'll be a low-vis bird. 11 hours ago, Tony Oliver said: Nice job @tomprobert Any pics with a common item eg paint tin or tamiya glue bottle etc to help convey the size? Tony Unfortunately not, Tony - the span is about 18"-20" if that helps... Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obdl3945 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Nice work, Tom... I have two of these and they're big! I always liked this colour scheme. The unit emblem is correct with the yellow background. This was the coat of arms of the city of Breslau. Regards, Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Paul Thanks for the colour confirmation, Paul - most profiles I’ve seen have it as a yellow background so well done to the Airfix research department!

Brandy Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Beautiful! I have an original boxing in my stash which was a Christmas present from my Grandmother. She passed away in 1978 (give or take a year) so that tells you how long I've had it! Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertielissie Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) A very neatly executed job on the ancient Big Airfix Stuka. It took me ages to get rid of all the flash on mine. I love your paintwork-so smooth! Congratultions on this epic build. One question- where do you display it? I've got mine next to the 1/24th Spitfire which is diminutive alongside it.

I’m working my way through the 1/24 Airfox kits as I love them. So far I’ve done the Mossie, Harrier, Typhoon, Hurricane... room is at a premium! 33 minutes ago, spruecutter96 said: An amazing rendition of a classic kit. Thanks for sharing with us. Chris.

Vile Traveller Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Beautiful - nice to see one of these done properly (unlike the one that hung from the ceiling of my 13-year old self!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
