STUKA !!!

[Chris S]

Hi chaps

Its been a while since I got stuck into a good blog ,but Im a bit busy with some stuff of site at the minute ,both modelling and non- modelling , lately tho' I've had the urge to cut some fresh plastic for myself ;D

Sooooo .... This kit fell into my hands the other day ;D ,and just happens to be one of my most favourite aircraft ...The temptation was too much to resist ;D.

The kit ...Trumpeters 1/32nd JU87B-2 Stuka , you gotta love em ...right ???



My plan from the start is a Russian front aircraft (winter) ...meaning one thing ....whitewash !! ;D



Never tried Whitewash on an aircraft before so it should be fun

Some work pics up very soon

Thanks for looking.

Chris.

I'm all in. This looks to be an awesome build.

 

[Chris S]

Hi guys ,nice to have you along , hope you enjoy the build

Well ...Its gotta start somewhere and with this one its the engine . Trumpeter have done a great job on this ,the molding is clean and plenty of detail ,of course you still need to add some plumbing and stuff if you want to improve it for showing ,But mine will be under the covers so i wont be spending much time on it .
It will get painted up and a bit of weathering ,but thats all .

Anyhoo ...some pics





Still some parts to add to that like the rads ,filters etc ,but they go on a bit later .

Thanks for looking.
