Members Mikester Posted January 21, 2019 Members Posted January 21, 2019 One of the things I wanted to do for 2019 was break out of the 109/190 cycle I always seem to find myself in. So this is a kit I've wanted to do for awhile. I love the menacing looks of the Stuka and this kit has very little aftermarket available for it, which is good because I want to something pretty much OOB and shake-n-bake. I'll put in some Eduard Steel seat belts and a some resin exhausts stacks and that will be about it. I'll use Montex masks to do "T6+CT of 9./St.G 2 (one source says this was Rudel's aircraft? Maybe someone can confirm?): 6
Martinnfb Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Now we talking :), great choice of subject Mike ! 3
NigelR32 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Oh yeah!! Gonna pull up a chair for this one. I have the Revell boxing of this kit along with Eduard PE sets for it.. you may inspire me to get it on the bench? 5
Bomber_County Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Also have the old Revell boxing, but just keep that in the stash Mike show us the way........ 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 21, 2019 Administrators Posted January 21, 2019 This is one kit i always wanted to build. Following this!! 4
coolboxx Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Excellent choice, that and a 262 ... so great. Looking forward to this. 4

I see you mention "old" Revell boxing. Did you know you can get this exact kit, but in a soft and floppy end opening Revell box? I think mine cost about £10 at an under the bench show sale? Kit no is:- 04711 2

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 21, 2019 Administrators Posted January 21, 2019 Oooh, nice choice, Mike. Finally someone's bringing out the Big Iron! I have the Rudel G boxing with the cannons, and a bit of AM including brass barrels. I've always wanted to build it, but other stuff kept getting in the way. Great choice of subjects, and I'll follow this with interest! 3

Members Mikester Posted January 21, 2019 Author Members Posted January 21, 2019 Didn't Revell re-box the Hasegawa kit and sell it too? 3

Members Mikester Posted February 10, 2019 Author Members Posted February 10, 2019 Managed to brave the frigid temperatures in the garage and get a little work done. Pretty much OOB with the exception of the Eduard Steel seat belts. Yahu doesn't make an IP for this kit and I'm not a fan of most of the Eduard pre-painted PE so I did it the old fashioned way. I used Airscale Luftwaffe IP dials (1/48 scale, the 1/32 are too large for most kits). 8
DocRob Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Bueno Mike, the pit is looking great. Cheers Rob 2

Is this a thing Mike? Or just for the Stuka kit... Haven't used the Airscale Luftwaffe dials yet, but plan to shortly. 3
Peterpools Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 MMIke Nice start on the Stuka. The IP looks dead on as well as the side wall details. Keep 'em comin Peter 2

Haven't used the Airscale Luftwaffe dials yet, but plan to shortly. Steve, it appears so. Airscale scaled down the guages from their actual size. Most model IPs are scaled down to fit in the cockpit. I have their 1/32 scale decals and for the most part they're too large for any of my 1/32 IPs. 3
Wumm Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 At home now, and after checking of course you're right. A quick measurement shows they're a much closer fit for the Eagle Ed resin Fw190 pit I'll be using though. Back to you, good work so far. 2
