I am about to get going with this.
It may be a challenge, but who knows, there is already a thread about this posted a few years ago.
the parts are off the sprues and well presented in their own little plastic bags.
Wings and fuselage are screwed as well as glued.
The figures look quite nice - well I can soon mess them up!!!!
The livery on the box looks interesting. Is it an option?
Are you doing it as the box top R2 from 6/St.G 2?
No. I am doing it at BOB.
No this is not modelling at light speed, I have been working on this for some time, just not posting much.
Anyway, painted.
1:32 and 1:48 compared.
The 1/32nd is somewhat larger. Looking good.
More paint.
That looks really nice. Looks like you have done a little pre-shading before the main painting.
Good work.

Yes, just a little and then a wash in the panel lines.
More progress.
The eagle eyed among you (Kevin that is) will notice that the tailwheel is incorrect, I have dropped the original and hope to find it in the future, so this is an incorrect replacement!
More or less built Out of the Box.
Looking very nice indeed. Excellent work Dave.
Great
Looks excellent, are we going to see it on Wednesday.

Unfortunately not, I am playing catch up, so it will be something else.
I am still adding the finishing touches and waiting for things to dry.
Meanwhile, ever onwards and upwards, this is the start of the next Stuka.
These are the 2 parts supplied in the kit for the instrument panel.
I have painted and dry brushed these and will live with them rather than expensive add ons!
But what scale and what kit could this be?
The real thing.
Could it be the Airfix 1/24?

Correct, have a gold star!
The rear wheel turned up, I just need to replace it.
That looks a bit more healthy than the temporary one.
Did it come back from the 4th dimension?

Yes, or the carpet monster decided to regurgitate it.
Looks good Dave.
