Kanonenvogel Stuka Wearing Shorts

[Uncarina]

The cannon-bearing Stuka looks different already, but I wanted this build to be a little more distinctive!

--Hasegawa Ju-87G-1

--Eduard interior photoetch
--MasterCasters main landing gear struts (without spats, mastered by AlaninAustria)
--Quickboost propeller blades
--Quickboost exhaust
--Voyager spinner
--Voyager 37mm cannons

--RLM 65, 70, and 71 using Tamiya custom colors.

 

I was almost at the painting stage when I started the build in 2012 when the model took a dive off a bookshelf with suboptimal results...I recently rescued it.

 

Thanks for looking in, and all comments welcome.

 

Cheers,  Tom

Nice, never seen one without the 'spats'before. Looks great.

Thanks, Gus! The MDC set worked really well.

Beautiful!

 

Are the squiggles hand painted or airbrushed?

Thank you! I used an enamel marker, after some practice on a scrap model; I wanted to replicate a mop-applied whitewash pattern.

Nick, I purchased them from here: https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/browse.php?kw=white,marker

I used an acrylic-based clearcoat underneath in case I needed to remove any mistakes with the marker; I could use an enamel thinner without worrying about what was underneath.

 

Cheers, Tom
