Work has started &, after a day at the bench, most parts have been assembled, primed and some have been top coated. Things will slow now as I move on to the detailed painting.

This is a trip down memory lane Noob. I did it not long after it came out in the mid seventies, so I'll be following your progress with interest. Looks like there is quite a lot of flash to deal with. That first photo of the real deal looks great.

Cockpit all painted & detailed. Also the seatbelts have been done. Just the engine to finish & the fuselage halves can be joined 🙂

I'm in. Dave, I think playtime 222 means your photoalbum title looks like a screenshot from the computer game il-2 sturmovik. I thought the same 🙂

@Marco - precisely 😄 I would say the later one rather than the original though.

Oh, OK, I get it. If you look at the trees & fields, they look like Flight Simulator scenery!

😄 I had my suspicions from the outset but I figured that the chances of someone actually going to the trouble of a shot in a sim (which is actually a lovely idea as you can get better shots than most boring box art) was far lower than nicking one off the web.

RLM 71 applied. It's enamel so I can't put masking tape anywhere near it until tomorrow! The underside has already received a coat of RLM 65.

Masked up & RLM 70 applied then all the masking removed. Now for some drying time before a flat coat & then the Montex marking masks 🙂

Not quite I'm afraid Cliff. The results are rather mixed. The masks just don't have enough stick which has left me with some touching-up to do 🙁

Yup, all sorted now Cliff 🙂 Well errr, mainly due to my serious health scare, this got kicked on to the shelf of doom! So I have dusted her off, touched up the paint work best I can and given her a gloss coat. Then applied the stencils and gave her a wash. Then everything got a matt coat ready for final assembly.

That is a big Stuka Dave! Looking good so far. Too bad the masks did not worked out as you liked to. I am currently building the same Stuka T6+CK, but in 1/48. I see you have the codes switched, did Airfix came up with that?

@Spanjaard No, not Flory, I use UMP washes umpretail.com ... @Erik The masks are from Montex 🙂 T6+CK on the starboard side & CK+T6 on the port side!?!

I think the unit code, in this case T6, was always placed left of the balkenkreuz

Thanks David 🙂 @Erik I will just have to lay the blame on Montex and take it on the chin 🙁 Prop, engine cowls and dive brakes have been fitted, now I have the canopy & bombs to do.
