Thanks Tony for ur kind comments, making them is not the problem.

Some great work going into this build John love the hydraulics well done

Well this is as far as i have got with the painting, i dont have any tape so it's all freehand.

Seeing as my plane has no crew i've made a gun mount for top turret.

John paint is looking sharp and I feel your pain on the canopy 1/48 is bad enough ca'nt imagine doing that in 1/72.Came out great .

 

[John Huggins]

Thanks Tery for ur kind comment, the plane is painted & to be honest it sucks.

it's painted olive green & black green but it all looks the same colour.

But u can judge for ur self when i post the pic's tomorrow.

John.

Looking good, John. Like everyone else has mentioned, the cockpit detailing was impressive. Look forward to more photos.

 

[John Huggins]

Well as promised hear are my pic's, in my opinion the paintwork sucks it was to thick should have thined it out a bit.

When i build the Stuka Ju 87B i will get the spraygun out, this will be a first for me as i have had it for almost a year & not used it yet.

Enjoy

Sorry John but i'm going to disagree with you thats a good build very well done you can see the difference in the top colours the underside is spot on and for an hand painted model its very good well done again

 

[John Huggins]

Thanks Ian for ur very kind comments, maybe it's just me i like things to be just right.

I promise with my next build (Ju 87) i will put a pit more effort into it.

Thanks again

John

John, for a first aircraft build this is awsome.

The detailing is great and the paint work is well done and even.

If this is poor building, I can't wait to see the stuka.

Tony.

 

[andyrobs]

Andrew

 

[James Q]
