Will be fun seeing those two get built, nice choices. Not sure if you are used to this with your other German subjects, but that 190 will need some AM swastika's.

First off the progress on the Stuka is really good Toshi! You're really making alot of headway with this one!!

As far as the 190 and the Mosquito goes........AND  HE SCORES!!!! And the crowd goes wild!!!!

 

Toshi

After waiting about a couple of weeks, I've finally received my mask for the Stuka.  While the primer cures on the Mosquito, this was a great time to mask the Stuka canopy.  The mask is by Eduard.  There were some areas that needed liquid masking, I just cut out my own shapes out of Tamiya tape.

Toshi

Thats good news, now you can get the paint on. Useing liquid mask is rather common with eduard masks, especially on some curved areas.

I had a great time as I think the Stuka looks awesome.  I still have to camoflauge the sides and button up the build.  It's slowly getting there, I can't wait to put the bombs and decals on followed by a wash.

Toshi

I've finally got the entire aircraft in the German Camoflauge motif.  All the camoflauge was done by hand with a flat brush and frog tape.  Just something different on this Valentines Day.  I now need to add some yellow enhancements on the underside of the wing tips and a yellow band at the rear of the aircraft.  Once that's done I'll be glossing the entire aircraft to seal it in preparation of the addition of decals. 

This time I'm going to seal it again then add a wash onto the entire Stuka.  I hope this works.  Once this is accomplished, I'll seal it with it's final coat.  Wish me luck, I hope it works!

Toshi

Great job on the splinter camo.

You brush painted it. Wow. Fantastic

 

Agreed -- did not expect to read that after seeing that clean camo. Amazing!

Toshi,

She's looking great and I really love the color scheme.I'm happy to hear you've discovered Hobbytown USA. I get over to my local one (in Mason,Ohio) about once a month on average. If you're ever in Kettering,Ohio sometime check out a shop called Smitty's Hobbies.It's like walking into a time machine / hobby shop from the 1970's. Nice folks too that run the place.

Great job on the splinter camo.

 

 

 

 

Thank you Bish, is that what it's called, "Splinter Camo"!  I learn something new everyday.  Thank you for enlightening me.  Now I just have to remember that term.  Easier said than done for me with TBI.  LOL!!!

 

Toshi

 

Ye, thats what its called. Its the standard German scheme for bombers in the first part of the war. Look at any German bomber, He 111, Ju 88 etc, and you will see the same scheme.

You worry, you wil get used to the term on here in time. I have not built a Stuka myself in a couple of years, so i am well over due at least one.

Here is where I'm at so far.  I still need to weather the Ju 87B-2 Stuka.  After that, I have the bomb and the drop tanks to prep and attach.  Thank you forum members for the visit.

Toshi

Every time I see your threads, Toshi, I keep telling myself that you are relatively new to this. Thats so I can appreciate how your skills have quickly developed into a modeler who's had several years tucked under his belt in experience.  Truly remarkable!

Your splinter camoflage came out nicely Toshi! What color did you paint the undersides? It looks like RLM 76 and I think it's supposed to be RLM 78 which is a brighter blue. I made that mistake with mine but it was too late for me to do anything about it. Just wondering.

Toshi, nice to see you tackling a Stuka, a real beast to go with your beauty the Mosquito! 

Great job so far, masking that canopy was epic- like Bish I consider the pre-cut canopy masks to be worth their weight in gold. I absolutly hate trying to mask off canopies esp the really complex ones like this. The splinter camo came out terrific! 

Just for the heck of it you might try doing this sexy Stuka slayer when you get done with your current haul :

Nice to see the markings go on, always my favorite part. Just be warned, if you add the droip tanks, that makes it an R-2 not a B-2. If the referance says B-2, and you wnat to stick to that, you will need to add the small bombs to the wings.

You are amazing Toshi!                 gk

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".
