Looks pretty good, Robert.  I think Italeri designed that kit and Tamiya reboxed it, that's what Scalemates says. 

 

Thanks John Yep it's really an Italeri kit. The only thing Tamiya in it was the 3 pilot figures same can be said about Tamiya's stuka

That is correct. I'm still trying to figure out what Tamiya was thinking. Imagine if we got a new Hurricane tooled like their new Spit or P-38. Either way, you did a great job on it Robert.

Another safer at home build.  I used mostly AK Real Color paints. Not a particularly fun kit especially with the poor fitting engine panels.  Landing gear and tail wheel are very fragile so I installed them last.  I used Montex masks for the insignia but I had to make homemade stencils for the letters Thanks for looking
