I've taking some vacation time and took all week off, sadly not much time at the bench it was used to finish my front porch. What I did get done was masking the canopy and getting it installed. From the looks of it some of the masks that came with it are just a tiny bit small in places but slight over spray should be easy to remove.

Got the Stuka un wrapped from its masking and ready for decals. I did the camo then masked off for the yellow markings, i am going to use the decals for the yellow V on the wing.

Next up, decals and weathering then a white wash.

Thanks SS and Tony,

I applied the other camo colors and here is where it sits. Now to get the decals on, finish the prop/spinner, get it on it's feet and do a little weathering.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Bish: That's one good looking Stuka you got there. I can't wait to see some poaint on it!

Nick: Your Zero is coming along nicely as well. You absolutely nailed the preshading contrast imo.

Steve: Nice work on your 190! There are lots of interesting and very colorful 190 camos to choose from, but sometimes the old 3-tone gray scheme never gets old either.

Thanks Chad, the KI-84 is mine but the 190 is my favorite German fighter.

Crown and MC both build are looking great. The last Tamiya zero I built the decals where extremely thick and finally would only settle after three applications of micro sol.

Nice looking Zeek Nick.

It's time I finished up my FW.

I sprayed the RLM-76 and it's ready for the 74 and 75.

I got the construction finished on the Stuka, it went together so quick that i didn't get a chance to get any pics, just took a couple of evenings to get just about everythinbg on.

Got the last section of canopy on and everything masked.

Its since been primed and now awaiting its blue undersides which i will do tomorrow.
