Did you say that you liked pancakes Joe? 

Wow man!!! I just LOVE the paint work on this one. Really lookin' good!!! 

 

Yes........I love them.  Should be their own food group.  Thanks for the kind words Joe

I think the yellow nose confused it. Its the first time i have seen one with that plus the yellow theartre bands.

Here's the pic I used for reference.  The illustrator was likely wrong about the nose and theater.

Thats superbly done, great finish and nice well used weathering. Yiour right about the Airfix canopy, i just finished the 72nd kit and the open canopy is a major let down. But i didn't have much choice but to use it.

Judging from the yellow tail band and wingtips, i would guess this is from the earkly days of the Russian campaign (the fuselage band and wingtips were not painted for the balkans.

 

 

 

 

Thanks Bish.  One of the drawings I was using as reference erroneously said Balkins.  Truthfully I don't know much about these units.

Holy shite! I may have  to try those ak  real colors. Have thought about it but this seals the deal. Man what an awesome job on your paint and weathering!

 

Thanks goose, they nailed the RLM colors to my eye.  I just wish they were more flat like the Tamiya XF line.  I find flat paints easier to fade and weather.

Looks fantastic. I like the chipping on the leading edges of the wings. I may have to add a Stuka to my build list. Congrats. 

 

Thanks Hoss.  I'm stating to get more comfortable with the AK chipping fluid.

Awesome! Build there

 

Thanks Crown

Yup, that open canopy was an absolute disaster.  Maybe that's the last time we'll ever see that from that company. Nice build LD!

 

Yep, otherwise it would be on the bench right now. Whoever designed that should be fired.  Thanks Chad

Absolutely incredible.  

 

I built this,same kit and markings about 20 years ago. But seeing what your skills can do with it. Wow

 

Thanks Johnny.  It's definitely one of the cooler Stuka schemes. 

Very very nice Stuka! Great work. Well done man!

I would not count on it Chad, they have been doing it for a few years on a few different kits. I found it worked on the Gladiator but not so good on the Stuka.
