A little chipping also...

 

 

 
loading up the gun...

 
Still slogging through the general painting.

Nice! I got mine just a couple weeks ago. Very well done. My only niggle is I wish they made the neck a little longer so the joint line ends up below the collar so it is hidden. As it is, the joint is going to be hard to make smooth.

Looks like he could do with a bowl of water... 

nothing here.

Great review Iain! 

Thanks to Coogrfan for the link to the Elan13 Miniatures US Navy Pilot. We also Have a Fleet Air Arm figure for the Hellcat in 1/24. Both figures are £20 each and are available from the website http://www.elan13.co.uk

Hello friends. I have added parts of my construction in the engine compartment that I have not seen in any model of the Stuka but in some real photo of it. Although I do not know if it will be visible when it is finished. I present the photos:  

 

 
 
And here is one of the real photos that I refer to:

I hope I have done well.

I have now received the box art photos for the FAA Pilot from Mike Butler in New Zealand
Both pilot are now available on the Elan13 Miniatures website.
I hope this series of posts was of interest to LSP members.

Still need to paint boots... plus a bunch of other details

Thanks for the feedback.
 
I'm not currently planning a seated version but could be persuaded if there is enough interest.

HI Everyone,
        I started the rigging today.   My main goal was to get as much done as possible before putting the struts and upper wing on. 
 
I used Bob's Buckles, but they're very hard to see since my phone doesn't like to take close up photos.  For the wires I'm using 1.5Lb test.

 
I blackened the 'wires' with a Sharpie before attaching them to the model.

 
I use a lot of light, and a light colored background to improve my ability to see through the eyelets once the upper wing is on.

 
And I used a box to elevate the jig and inter-wing area to eye-level.

 
But back to work tomorrow...  so I probably won't get it all rigged before the end of the week.
 
Cheers!
