Sissel chases a diving snake ** Finished **

[splash]

I agree with David I think you did the right thing by changing the cross.

Great finish it looks brilliant.

Really nice Sissel. It has the look and the feel.

Excellent piece of work, and another successful blitz.
I reckon every manufacturer throws an anti-blitz feature into every kit. For Italeri it is the is it right, isn't it, decal, just to frustrate you when you least need it.

[Sissel]

Thanks guys.

Checking now there was only two snake Stukas. As David mentioned earlier and Alan linked to one of them, hadn't read it fully till now.
One with red snake never existed. This was found out in 2005. I didn't bother checking references before building this, but it seems like Italeri has been spot on with decals and paint. Only thing is the 'light olive' patches of the snakes should be transparent instead, as the camo shows through the patches. This could have been easily fixed with me painting over the decal. But I didn't know.

Here's the other snake Stuka.

I'm not so sure I will blitz more planes this month. Feel my luck running out.

You've had some bad luck in your blitzes for sure. Sleep on it, watch some Olympics, and see how you feel in a few days. Blitzes are very demanding, well I find they are anyway. There is the best part of 2 weeks left in Feb, and I for one was looking forward to the Sturmovik.

[Sissel]

Thanks D-Man.
I find blitzes very demanding as well, and sometimes I'll get bad headaches. But still, they are fun and it is a good feeling if you manage to complete a good looking model in 24 hours.

I'm a woman, we change our mind all the time. Heck, in a few hours or days I might see differently on it!

I know from last years February blitz I cancelled one build, then suddenly changed my mind few days later, restarted the topic and went on building.

It's bad when I wont bother with tomorrow's weekly forest trip with the hiking group I'm in. I'm still not feeling tops and I'll rather stay home to watch Olympics. Couch excersize!

Boldly written Paul. Boldly written.

Men!

Brilliant job on the Stuka Sissel, I will get that kit myself this year.

Sorry I missed the finale on this, but the end result is great, a very cool looking Stuka. I think I would have also been hunting through my spares box in a panic looking for a replacement fuselage cross and blaming Italeri for rubbish decals I doubt with a blitz I would have bothered with any research beforehand.

Men!

Yes, but who would save you from the spider in the bath if we weren't around?

And yes, Norway won. But they were lucky. Or rather, GB were unlucky!

The Stuka is great. Well done with the cross on the fuselage. And I hadn't noticed the spotted nose - it looks lovely.
