  1. Hey all,

     

    Was hanging around the Luftwaffe Experten boards and found this..

    Czechc-79postwar_zpsaa73278c.jpg

     

    Captured and evaluated by the Soviets, given to the Czechs in nonflying condition, rebuilt by Avia from wrecks, and flown in Czech service until 1952,

     

    Pretty neat, huh?  This will probably be on my to do list with the other half-started projects in my basement... ^_^

     

    Any clue what colors its painted in?  The blue is too dark for RLM 65 and the green..?  RLM 71?

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Cheers,   Ian

     

  2. Rog,

     

    Yes, I agree, this IS good stuff!   I have the Trump kit and now the Revell kit, and I've never compared the two...

     

    I would like to see a side by side comparison of the Trump/Hasegawa/Revell/21st C Stukas, I bet it would be an eye opener ^_^

     

    Cheers,   Ian

  3. Rog,

     

    I've seen some AM stuff around for the Hasegawa and Trump series of Ju 87s. 

     

    I believe Eduard put out a set of photo etch stuff a while back for the Revell kit.

     

    I'm thinking I can kitbash some interior stuff just to make the cockpit a little more convincing ^_^

     

    Cheers,     Ian

  4. Rog,

     

    Yeah, I picked up one of Brian's correction sets.  I'm happy with it. :)

     

    I built this Revell kit when I was just a kid (mid '70s).  I only did it once, and it was a war crime.... :lol:

     

    I always wanted to do another one, and I was hoping this time to do it justice...

     

    Right now, Jerry isn't accepting any inbound mail, so I'll just have to hold off until I can contact him....

     

    Cheers,   Ian

  5. Hey all,

     

    I just picked this old relic up in a trade.

    Revellstuka_zps5eadec85.jpg

     

    I remember Jerry R puttin out an update set for this kit a while back, is it still around?

     

    Also is there any new upgrades for this?

     

    Haven't built this kit since I was a kid ^_^

     

    Cheers,   Ian

  6. Well, got a bit of an update....basic parts cleanup done, just soaked and rinsed all the resin bits, started cleanup and assembly of the powerplant............still haven't decided on a scheme yet.....thats all for now, :)

     

    Hopefully pics to follow...

     

    Cheers,   Ian

  7. Nick,

     

    Thanks for the link, simple, but very informative :book: .   It seems the hubs where the difference on the early tire/wheels.  Cool, I didn't know that :)

     

    I just picked up two sets from Sprue Bros. ^_^

     

    Cheers,        Ian
