Martin R's Musings

[Martin R]

Thank you, chaps!

Latest progress on the Italeri Ju-87B-2 BoB Stuka (started during the YCNHTM Spitfires GB):





I just need to install the landing light and footsteps, then brush some pastels behind the exhaust stacks and we're done.

regards,

Martin

Very good. Nice paintwork especially on the canopy.

[Clashcityrocker]

Very nice Stuka.

That is a great looking Stuka Martin.

[Martin R]

Thank you, chaps! Got the thing finished tonight, so I'll try to take some decent pics and post them in the Aviation thread.

Now, onto Spit Mk IXe decalling . . .

regards,

Martin

[Stuart]

Very nice Stuka!

[Martin R]

Thanks, Stuart. The completed Stuka is now up in the Aviation Modelling area.

So, decalling of the IXe is now done. Codes were from a Modeldecal sheet (24" height). Spits normally wore 20" codes, but the profile I'm working from (Work from a photo of the original? Moi?) suggested they could have been larger. Serial number is from a Ventura sheet. Yep, 10 tiny alphanumerics to be cut out and manhandled into position. Still, it's over and done with now:





So now I've just got to paint the bombs and minor bits & bobs, do some weathering, add a satin coat and add the sticky-outies, and she's done.

regards,

Martin

That's a nice looking Spit Martin. I haven't got a clue as to code sizes but those look about right to me.

Refugee from the "Classic Airfix" GB. Weathering finished on my 1/48th Coastal Mossie:

[PaulBradley]

Very smart indeed, Martin!

[AndrewR]

Yes, a very nice model

[skypirate]

Great looking Mossie!
I haven't tried one in 1/48 yet. I have the recent Revell B.IV. Looks very good in the box!

cheers,

Some really stunning work there, hard to choose between them for a favourite.
