bobster Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi Chaps, Looking through the stash I thought I would drop in and see if I can get this one done in a week built as a Legion Condor bird. I have the colours needed in acrylic and enamel so I'll get cracking! The plan is to brush paint thinned Humbrol Acrylics and as I have no canopy mask.....I'll cut the window masks by hand.....lets see if I can get a post in the 'build gallery' by next Sunday!

jean Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Never too late for another Stuka! And you want to finish it in a week... you must be in lockdown... Have fun! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobster Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Hello, a bit of work done, I may not finish, but hopefully I can finish not too long after the weekend, even if I miss the deadline. It does seem like a nice kit, just a bit of sanding to overcome the tight tolerances engineered into the Airfix kits. Better this that having a whack a load of filler into gaps I guess, but it does whet the appetite for the 1/48 kit. I have added belts as I am thinking of using the open cockpit option.

Basilisk Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Welcome aboard. Building this kit in a week is indeed a challenge, but your cockpit looks great Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Looking more like a Stuka now, a pretty enjoyable build! Needs a small amount of tidying up tomorrow, perhaps I'll have it primed on Sunday, but I don't want to rush it too much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Looks great. Just keep at it even though the GB is now finished. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Hi Chaps, I have been working away and here is a quick update on the progress.....I have skipped a bit but it is practically finished now. A really nice kit to build. Stuka_2 by trebor46, on Flickr I primed with grey primer from the LMS and then brush painted with Humbol Acrylics 65, 241 and 242. Applied a gloss coat ready for decals.
