      Thumbs up Al's Kanonen Vogel

      Well i got the go ahead from SWMBO and i thought i wouldn't push it with a big model. So i've plumped for a 1/72 Academy Ju-87 G-2 piloted by the highly decorated and master tank killer, Maj. Hans-Ulrich Rudel Kommodore SG2. The kit shows the aircraft in summer paint scheme but i intend to paint it in a winter scheme. If i finish this kit well in time then i have another plan for something to build. But we'll wait and see.

      So here is the box art and sprues to start with.

      Very nice Allyne, great to have you on board. This will make an interesting build. Nasty looking things at the best of time but those cannons make it positively evil.

      Cool subject! Those cannons certainly packed a punch.Did you know that each gun only had a magazine with six rounds?
      Nasty piece of work, Rudel.
      Keep us posted!

      This is going to be a quick build. Nothing much to the aircraft itself. In fact the mini-dio base will take me alot longer as i've never done a dio before lol.

      So this is how things are going so far. Going together smoothly with no problems so far (touch wood). I would recommend this kit to a new person/child to build as it's that easy. I feel a bit of a cop-out now. But i have another plan in waiting for when i finish this.

      Looking good Allyne. Don't worry about it being a basic model, the main thing is that you are taking part, doesn't matter how simple or complex it is.

      Done a little bit more of it today. I've got a feeling it's going to take longer to mask the canopy than building the aircraft lol
