Cockpit is basically out of the box - I added a middle console and omitted part A12

this is the not fitting canopy which leaves an ugly gap

.. much better. But: do we have to buy two kits for one fitting part?

the Special Hobby instructions failed to mention part A11 which belong to the seats

Willkommen Jens, bin leider knapp an Zeit und die Tragfläche der SB2C macht mehr Probleme als erwartet und hoffe hiermit auf einen raschen Erfolg 🙂

I have fortunately two kits of the Special Hobby Bücker. The injection quality of these kits is not very good: one kit has an useless wing and one of the canopies does not match .. see pictures 8 and 9.

Himmel 😠 auf meine Bücker hatte ich mich als Enrspannung gefreut, und dann deine Bilder 😠 😠 😠, das ist nun wirklich keine Entspannung für mal Zwischendurch 🙁 ich bleibe aber sicher Neugierig 👍 Spannend deine Lösungswege zu sehen 👍
Heavens 😠 my Bücker I had been pleased as tension, and then your pictures 😠 😠 😠, that's really no relaxation for in between

@Jens: der Bausatz ist doch nicht ganz so schlecht - am Besten du baust die Kanzel vor den Flügel ein, dann kannst du sie verschleifen. Bei den Flügeln sollte man die Walkways abschleifen und auflackieren - das hilft beim Einpassen/Einschleifen. Bei der Flügelunterseite habe ich aber die Flinte ins Korn geworfen - ich denke nicht, dass man das mit vernünftigem Aufwand hinkriegt, aber wer schaut schon die Unterseite an?

The kit requires some attention - I recommend to add the canopy before the wings as it requires some work to fit. I also suggest to sand off the walkways on the wing and add them during painting again. I gave up on attachment of the bottom side of the wings to the fuselage - the misfit is too severe to be solved with reasonable amount of work.
During the build I found an old volume of the Swiss Cockpit Magazine with a picture of HB-EBI and spontaneously decided to build this aircraft. As there are no decals I dug out my old cutting plotter and created my own masks.
As I have two kits and have used parts of both to build due to poor injection quality I put together the spare one as a paint mule.
HB-EBI is in my opinion camouflaged in RLM 65/70/71.
RLM 65: Vallejo 71255 is a perfect match
RLM71: a mixture of 80% Vallejo 7101 and 20% 71021 is a perfect match
RLM70: most probably I will use thinned Vallejo 71021 over the RLM 71 paint.
I used the colour cards of the "official Monoigram painting guide" as reference 🙂

Danke Thomas für deine Tips , ich werde mein bestes geben, leider habe ich nur die Panzerjagdversion, mal schauen, die Basis ist ja gleich 👍

Thank you Jens and Es-haq - I think it turns out fine in the end 🙂

Thomas, I guess she will be another another gem in your display case. I love your paint jobs, again and again impressive.

Thank you all for your very welcome comments!
I could finish the Bücker in the meantime. It's certainly not my best build but it finally turned out nice and I prefer this paint scheme very much over the popular Swiss neutrality stripes.
