Don't know about the "right" color Polux, but this looks fantastic!

Restores your faith in human nature Steve!\ said:Reader of this thread will be aware that I did a small thing for Polux by sending him the rudder from an old and broken model in my loft. Today I got home from a period working abroad to find a box packed with goodies from Catalonia. In an amazingly generous gesture Polux has sent me three (yes three) 1/72 kits, completely unsolicited, for me to build or ruin in my usual way I just wanted to say a public 'thank you' to Polux and that I'm looking forward to having a bash at them. I will of course keep everyone posted.
Cheers

Very interesting link!!!\ said:Not very clear but there are one or two pictures here that you can see the exhaust stubs on:http://aircraftnut.blogspot.com/2014/05/back-to-ju-87-stuka-part-3-variants.html
I don't know what alloys they all used. Rolls Royce used one of the 'Inconel' alloys (don't know which) that have a maximum of about 10% iron, hence a rusty colour is not likely. Daimler Benz also used a Nickel alloy, but I don't know its composition. I believe the Germans had problems with their Nickel supply later in the war, despite supplies from Finland, so it may well have changed. Nickel is certainly a strategic material, I remember seeing a table about it in the USSBS....might go and look it up\ said:One question regarding material, were exhausts of all planes made of alloy?
