Masking the canopy (pita) and prepping for paint now. Need to fill some contact gaps then primer
-
I’ll do the splinter camp and all emblems then start the winter paint coverage. From the pictures I’ve found it’s just the top and sides painted over the normal camouflage in the field. It looks like the bottom of the aircraft retains the RLM sky color.
-
Getting closer to painting
-
Very nicely done! My Stuka will be in winter camo so I’m following yours closely
-
I’ve got the interior settled and the wing roots, rear stabilizers added
-
A little further along
-
Today the fuselage goes together, I need to finish detailing the interior. Paint the wiring I added. Install the engine and detail it.
-
Got the instrument panel and cockpit done, working on the engine I just set everything in the starboard side of the fuselage to make sure nothing is wonky. I need to detail the gunners office out and finish detailing the engine with some plumbing, fuel lines and other details but it’s coming along
-
Next, painting and detailing the cockpit. I am waiting for my air scale instrument panel. I have the 1 man army stencils ready to go
-
A little more progress the other day. My right hip is giving me some trouble so sitting is hard. I’m probably heading to my 33 orthopedic surgery with a replacement soon..ugh
-
A very slow start on the Stuka, my hip is keeping me from sitting.. working on the cockpit. Having to cut several of the pieces for the Airscale pro 3D Stuka kit.

A few more pics

This was several years ago when Airfix re-released their old kit after revisions made with new cad modeling. I used 1 man army stencils again. I drilled 1mm holes in the engine panels and installed micro magnets so I can remove the panels to show the engine.
-
Pretty much done with this one. It went together really well. Used leftover 1man army stencils from my typhoon and spitfire to finish it
-
Just finished my last one, the hurricane now continuing to clean my shelves of 1/24 scale aircraft the Airfix Ju87 Stuka is next! It’s a big one and I got a Airscale Stuka 3d printed pro kit with it
