It is on the first page of the GB, I believe that it is on the thread that is in the Aircraft Forum. Should be able to save it to your computer from there.

Thanks Karl. Here are some updated photos of the Stuka. I have the fuselage closed, the tail assembly done and the wings attached.

Here is one for a size comparison. The P-40B is 1/32 scale so you can see the Stuka was a large aircraft.

Hey all. All of the builds at this time look great. As for me I have had no time for builds. I am trying to find a new job and all. That is taking all of my time. Will check back soon.

Ya'll might want to check here:

For whatever reason the build took on a life of it's own in the aircraft forum and never migrated to the GB forum.

Building Now:

1/48 Academy Bf-109G6 - 100%

1/48 Tamiya F4U-1A - 5%

Upcoming:

1/48 Revell F-14D

Is it too late to join this Build?

I've got a Hasa Me109 G10, which I started on a couple of months back and which ground to a halt. I've not even painted the cockpit yet!

Richard The Stuka pit looks great.

An update on the gunners seat. I found a drawing of the seat belt assembly and used spare belt parts to build it up.

Now I am ready to close up the patient. The inside of the fuselage is finished and the everything seems to fit well so far. Did have a couple of minor fit problems inside the fuselage but it was easily corrected. Here is what Stuka looks like now. With the first photo is an overall view, the second is the gunners compartment and the final is the pit.

John and Jon, long time no see! Now, PakNick, I don't usually do WW2 but I've been itchin' to do the P-47D of Capt. Boreslaw Gladych, "PengieIV". So, put me down for Academy's 1/72 P-47D Bubbletop w/ Techmod decals. I'm pretty sure I can squeeze this one in among all my other GBs!

Alright then. If I don't join in, my brother will never let me hear the end of it.
Unfortunately, I am still somewhat undecided about which kit(s) to embark upon.

The final suspect(s) will be one or more of the following:

Tamiya Bf 109E-4/7 Trop
Hasegawa He 111H-6
Fine Molds Me 410A-1

However, I suspect I might have to update my final list closer to the start date, as I feel a bit of a shopping spree coming on. I suddenly seem to be missing a Spitfire Mk.IX, a Ju 88, Ju 87, etc., etc.
