                        Rooster,

                        Your Stuka looks good to me, however admittedly, I'm not the best builder on the forum.

                        Nice job and welcome.

                        Here's a couple pics of the Stuka. Like I said before this was my first build in many years. Learned some things from it and happy with it all around. Tried postshading the panel lines after seeing an article on the sight. Think I may have ended up with a little to much contrast and the wash is a little heavy on the underside. Def gonna go with a more brown/black wash instead of straight black next time. Any tips or comments would be much appreciated!

                        -Andy

                        Are you using Internet Explorer 11? If yes, use compatibility mode. That should clear up your problem.

                        Got a beginner question for you guys. Want to upload some pics of the stuka but when I reply to the post I don't see where I can. I clicked on the "use rich formatting" button but I don't get a text editor box so I can insert an image. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!

                        Hi Andy and WELCOME!!

                        Great to hear you're jumping into the forum.  You'll find that this forum is filled with the friendliest and most supportive group of people out there.  The most fun part is when you get to post some pictures of your builds.  We're all excited to see the latest builds and you'll often get wonderful comments along with some encouraging tips.  It doesn't matter if it's your first kit or your 100th.  We love seeing them all and it's all about making this a FUN hobby!  Personally, I feel that being a member of this forum has helped me out immensely and it has been very uplifting.

                        Best wishes!

                        Eric

                        Hello all. Been checking out the site for awhile now, reading posts and checking out all the great tips you guys post and finally decided to say hey! Getting back into the hobby seriously lately after doing a few models many years ago. Got a 1/72 Stuka under my belt and I'm currently tackling the old favorite, the Mustang. Hoping to get more involved with posts and learning all I can from you guys and gals. So much on this site that inspires...and intimidates;) me to try to do my best and have a great time doing it. You guys are the best! -Andy

                        -Andy
