You are amazing Toshi!                 gk

 

Toshi

Very, very nice.  I like the mesuem look to it.

I saw back a couple of pages that you saw the Alclad line.......that means trouble for the rest of us as a natural metal finish (NMF) is not to far in the future......

Nice looking Stuka Toshi. Very clean, no-nonsense build and finish. 

Excellent!  That's one big beautiful bird.

Wow, Toshi. That is one excellent bird. Very nice indeed.

Thank you for the kind words and support gentleman.  It's much appreciate it.  Thanks for visiting as well!

Toshi

Another great build down. The museum look works well it came out looking great.

Hey Toshi she turned out great! You even did a great job on that cursed, vile, difficult, colour yellow which I hate more than any other...  And the canopy looks perfect. 

One little tiny nitpick though, are you painting the engine exhaust pipes? They look sorta odd in the same yellow as the cowling. All you need is a little rusty brown paint and a small brush- shouldn't take more than three or four minutes.

Man she looks great Toshi! Good ol' Gamera covered the only constructive critique that I had with the exhausts but other'nat she looks good!

Model Rob and Mustang1989,

Thank you so much for the read and reply, your visit is greatly appreciate it.

Toshi

Fantastic job!  I was going to mention painting the exhaust stacks too.  Will make a huge difference.  Well done!

As I was preparing to weather the Stuka, Mrs. Toshi took a look at it and said to leave it without weathering.  It's the first time she had ever added any input to the actual build.  Usually she'll let me do what I want with it.  

Since this was her first ever input, you'll see the Stuka completed as is.  In all honesty, I really like the "Museum" look to it.  I think it's pretty cool.  I guess that's what we men call "Woman's Intuition".

Toshi - 

Absolutely beautiful....job well done sir!!! I really enjoy your builds and it is amazing how well you do with each of your builds. My hat is off to you sir. Bravo Toshi, Bravo 

Lovely looking finish Toshi. I love a nice Stuka and you have done the old girl proud. G has you covered on the exhausts, and the rest looks just fine.

And it was a good move leaving the wing racks empty given the big boy you have underneath.

Always a pleasure Toshi. I have a lot of passion for the Stuka, so its always a joy to see one.

Looking forward to your next build.

I agree with Mrs. Toshi, some models just need to stay in their Sunday best.  This one deserves to stay as it is.  You did a fantastic job on this kit Toshi.  Scott

Outstanding Stuka Toshi.

Toshi, I admire your progress and enthusiasm as always.  Looking forward to your next build. That canopy, man , that is one tough canopy on the Stuka! Nice job.

To Tempestjohnny and fellow forum members, first off, thank all for visiting this thread and leaving comments and concerns as I can only learn from them.

Thank you so much Tempestjohnny in always following my build threads, your vigilance is extremely appreciated.  Once again thank you sir!

Toshi

Slow down! Slow down! .... I almost missed this finish .

Lovely job as usual.

Mike

Another excellent build down Toshi, great results.

Robert

Congrats on your first Stuka, Toshi. You did her proud, sir.

2 comments and a question just for fun....

*Good job following Mrs. Toshi's idea about no weathering. Does it look good that way? Yep. Does it matter that it looks good that way? Nope.

*Do I have the HobbyTownUSA bit straight? You have a well-stocked HobbyTown 40 minutes from your house and this is the first you knew of it???? Do I read that Mrs Toshi found it and surprised you by going there??? If so, holy cow. If not, holy cow anyway, no wonder you were excited! I'll never forget my first visit to one a couple years back, which happened to be a very well-stocked one like yours. I was like a kid in a candy store. Pity it is a couple thousand miles away.

*Good move waiting for the Eduard masks. Hand trouble or not. Scratch-masking a Stuka canopy because I can would not be my idea of fun.

Again, nice looking Stuka, Toshi!
