Kanonenvogel Stuka--Finished!

Kev,

 

Thanks for asking. I haven't read anything wrong with the shape, but the Voyager spinner has a little more refinement in detail, including rivets, and I was too lazy to make them. I would recommend against the Voyager prop blades, however, so if you opt to go this route I'd recommend getting only the spinner (unlike me).

 

Cheers,

 

Tom

Thanks Tom. I'd heard that the Voyager blades were basically just direct copies of the kit parts. Doesn't really solve their issues much, eh?

Another update. Kev, here's a pic comparing the kit spinner with the Voyager offering:

Meanwhile, I realized that when I added the instrument panel, the clearance was tight enough against the sidewalls that the right sidewall gauges popped off and disappeared. Time for scratchbuilding!

I matched the blue with the other gauges by adding white oil paint to Model Master RLM 24 enamel.

 

I started work on the Kannons as well:

Thanks, everyone! Harv, I used the Eduard interior set but held off on the exterior set. Next I'll have to scratchbuild the shell ejection chutes and add some odds and ends. Looking forward to adding some paint!

 

Cheers,

 

Tom
