That sound really cool reb.   I'm sorry about your grandpa.

Yea sorry.  Anyway I got impatient and dry-fitted and taped everything togther.  It looks like a plane now!!!! Wing halfs are glued

lookin good!  If you need any pics of the stuka I've got the book Ju 87 Stuka in action and I can scan them and post them. I've been thinking of getting that kit and converting it to a night stuka

Thanks for the offer.  I need pics of the yellow nosed ones.  I know these were B's.  Mine is a G but I just like the yellow nose.  If you have a pic of a yellow nose G that would be excellent. I'm thinking standard splinter scheme, gray belly, yellow nose, yellow underwing tips, and yellow fuselage stripe.

sorry I havent answered for so long,  my computer decided to quite for awhile.  So let me get this straight; You want pics of Ju 87Bs and Gs with yellow on the noses.  I've got some Bs with y. but I'm not sure about Gs...   I'll get them up within the next couple of days.

I'll post them tommorow.

Is anyone else doing this execpt I-beam and me?

Ok, here are two of them.  I have 9 total but I will post them in stages as I don't have a very fast internet connection and I don't want to leave it signed on for 5 hours.  I get a few more on today.

 

 

Thanks Fletcher!!! Those are both B's.  No worries you don't have to post the others.  I think I'm going to paint my G in a standard G scheme.  That means no yellow nose but it will have yellow fuselage stripe and yellow underwing tips.  I will get a B later and do that one with the yellow nose.  Have been busy with another new job.  Haven't had time for any progress on the stuka but I have 2 days off this week so at least a base coat might get done.

Are you sure? I've got 7 more.  I also have a nice piece of artwork of a G with yellow wing stripes, nose and fusalage band.  Do you want that?  I'll post progress pics in a couple of days.  Good luck with your new job!

Done!  The paint is Polly Scale and ModelMaster with a series of very heavy oil washes of orange ocher, burnt umber and black, followed by drybrushing.  Then I used my Passche VLS to carefully spray a muddy sand color onto the lower body and shaded the upper panels with a sand color.  I followed this by another drybrushing, liberal applications of sand and earth colored MiG pigments to the lower body, tracks and fenders. 

 

awsome job on the tank u.s.s.

Thanks DURR
