It;s part of a group build on "International Scale Modeller" forum starting in Jan... So stand by your beds! 🙂

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 🙂

TKS Spanjaard & Cliff. I just have the instrument panel to finish and I'll close the fuselage up. Major progress expected tomorrow 🙂

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!

And still no closer to finding out what it actually is... state secret? ☺

That was easy 😄 theairtacticalassaul..owthread.php?t=16509 @Marco - Yep, it's Il-2 Cliffs of Dover.

😄 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 🙂

TKS Cliff 🙂 Work with the Montex masks (Instead of decals) has begun!

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.
