Robthepom Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Great kit, a stuka with cannons, i added machined cannon barrels and Eduard BigEd, both well worth the expense I've never made a base before but after buying the figures i thought i'd have a go, not bad for first attempt AdamR, Bill Cross, AceofClubs and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael931080 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Great looking Stuka and diorama! One quick question on your build - did you have any problems with the canopy? I have heard some folks encountered issues with fit and such. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the kind words Basically Michael the canopy cant be posed open as would be seen on real aircraft, the pilots canopy section does not 'slide' over the middle section, as you can see in my photos the pilot section is sitting directly on top of the center section. Also note that i made a mistake with the pilot canopy section, the instructions tell you to cut slots in the fuselage to accommodate the G canopy, i forgot, so had to modify the canopy shape, so its not accurate, but i'm still very happy with the build, i learnt a lot. Dont let the canopy issue stop you from buying this kit its a cracker Edited April 23, 2018 by Robthepom Michael931080 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dany Boy Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Wonderful model and I really like the figures ensemble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Rob, Excellent! Love the clean detail and the weathering. Love the dio setup, too. Would love to see film of these in action against tanks. I've always wondered what AoA was used. I read Rudel's book when I was a kid, and can't remember any of the attacking details. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Well done Rob, that all looks rather splendid! I always think the "human element" adds to the interest and realism of a model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
