Commissioned Stuka

Gary Kitchen
Defo following along. 1:24 scale Andy? That's a big change of pace 😄

Andy Ball
Thanks for looking me out Gary, it's a commission so not my usual scale, correct. Having done the original SuperKit of the Mk.1a I'm hoping this 1975 moulding will not be too difficult…watch this space!

Bozzer
I'm gonna have to slide in for this. I've always been curious about the Stuka? Done the Spit, Hurricane and 109, and had the Hellcat, but gifted it to my brother. Judging at what I had to work with, you've got a tough ride! But, that's why we do it, right? 😉

Gary Victory
Watching.....good luck with the build Andy.

Andy Ball
Hello Bozzer yes I'll suffer for my art! And thanks Gary V - hope to progress soon- more photos coming up.

Andy Ball
Thanks Matti, I hope to entertain!

Andy Ball
Nice to have a like, Neil!

This thing is gross, as we say in germany 😉 Taking a seat.

That's going to be a big aircraft, I wonder if the sirens will work? 😉 Following. 👍

Hi Andy! This looks very impressive build. I was wondering if you could tell me if this is a new tool or not. Looking forward to see the final product!

David Taylor
I'm in.

@DarthPanzer: you can figure it out yourself: klick on the kit in the project, then scroll down to the timeline and you will see, that it was a new tool - back in 1975. Everything after that were only reboxes.
I more than once cherished this timeline as it will tell how old the stuff in the new box really is.

Neil Patrick
Well done Andy! I know I'm late to the show, but looks like you're well on the way. Is this an old one or the new Classic boxing?

Skyhiker
Wow a big one!

Andy Ball
Thank-you, as always Villiers!

Andy Ball
Well, I have kick-started this carcass….
Work resumes…
It's a 1976 kit FFS.
So much prep required, and I'm determined to make a good result for an "auld Scottish Pal" who asked me to make a "Stalingrad Stuka" and I couldn't say "no"!!

Andy Ball
Thanks Neil and Skyhiker….the glacial pace of this build continues….slowly and "with plenty of lumps"….

Guy Rump
Glad to see you're back on the bike Andy. 🙂

Andy Ball
@Guy, thank-you, model making has many important benefits in terms of mental health! And I've been really lazy too…I'll swing by and have a look at your stuff!!

Andy Ball
Guillaume, merci!!

It's looking good so far.
I remember building this when I was a kid back in the 70's. It was a mind-blowing kit back then.

Somehow I have missed this thread - taking a seat!
