1:48 JU-87B-2 Stuka

Just started a new model. This is going to be an OOB build I have worked on the cockpit some. It still needs a wash and weathering, but I hope to have in complete by the end of the weekend.

Looking great so far but what's the rush?

Ah my friend, i see you have joined "The boys from the Island"
They will soon find out about the Wedi Factory,no?

Once I get the house together, then the factory will go into full production

I was able to get more done on the Stuka the last couple days. Progress has been slow as I am moving into my new house right now and still don't have everything set up (still have to find my aircompressor and airgun )

But this is what I have been able to get together....











I plan to add poor-man's seat belts to the kit (aka masking tape - painted of course) but other than that this will be a OOB build.

I have a little pudding to do on the seam top and bottom of the aircraft.

Next major step is the nose cowling, which comes in 3 pieces for some daft reason...

great intro model.
as for using poor mans stuff as you put it, sometimes home made items are equal to if not better than highly publicised glitter packed commercial items.
keep them rolling please

Alex is so right here and in many instances, the stuff you buy is not at all accurate.

Well i have some more done on my stuka (things are a little slow right now as my wife and I continue to put the house together before thanksgiving when the folks show up)









more to come in the future...

Other than masking the canopies the stuka is ready for the paint booth (but the paint booth is't ready yet)

looking good keep onposting

Looks very nice and yes keep posting.........

Great work so far, keep it up.

Well the stuka is masked off and ready for the paint booth (to bad the paint booth isn't ready :mad:)
