Fantastic looking Stuka. The oil paint weathering technique in particular adds depth and realism. I have this one in the stash to tackle at some point. Well done. Congrats.

Very nice! I put one of those together a couple years back. Like you I painted the canopy from the inside and the outside. It really was the only way to make it look decent! I really couldn't believe they did that.

Hello guys, thanks for your comments.
I made the dusty effect with three techniques, first I used oil paints, put many dots of oil paints of different colors (brown, light brown, yellow, white, etc.) over all the plane and blended with a wet brush, dragging in longitudinal direction over the horizontal surfaces and vertically over the vertical surfaces. I did this until I have a very subtle effect. This makes a general dust and rain marks effect.
For the second step I used the “splash effects” of Ammo Mig. Used “Dry earth” diluted, put some on the zones more dusted and blended with White Spirit.
And finally applied some pigments on the most dusted zones.
For the wheel spats I used again the “splash effects” mixing layers of “Dry earth” and “Loose ground” and finally diluted “Dry earth” blended vertically.
The sliding canopy is the worst part of the kit, because the sliding part and the fixed part are e single piece. What I did is mask from the inside and from the outside this part. I masked from the outside the frame of the sliding part and from the inside the frame of the fixed part, so it makes the effect that the frame of the fixed part is behind the glass of the sliding part.
Luckily the piece has the frame of the fix part marked in the inside and the sliding part marked on the outside.

Excellent work Tom.  How did you deal with that goofy sliding canopy design? Can it be pained from underneath or did you use vacuform? This has been the only thing holding me back on this kit as I hate vacuform.

Excellent build of the "Stuka"!  I agree with everyone else about  your weathering techniques.  From the dust on the wheel spats to the overall fading affect on the topsides, everything just blends together so nicely.

How did you get that white faded chalky look?  I like that weathered look and want to do add that to my Corsair.

Nicely done!

Really looks battle-weary. Yes
