Uncarina Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the comments everyone! Nigel, I confess I've been sidetracked by WNW! I finished the W.29 and am ~90% complete with the SE. 5a. I'm also waiting to find good reference pics for my Stuka showing the white wavy line camouflage overspray. Happy Holidays, Tom Edited December 23, 2012 by Uncarina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heico Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Looking nice, especially the barrels! I remember the plastic ones being a pain in the ass to get nice and clean. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Heico, Thanks. I have noticed others struggling with the kit items in the past and this factored in my cost/effort analysis! Cheers, Tom Heico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 I've resurrected this build in my quest to empty the shelves of doom! I stopped the build after it fell off a bookcase and broke the wings off--my fault! Now I've managed to reassemble it and am almost back where I was before the impromptu flight. Pics soon!

Uncarina Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Alan, I didn't realize you had mastered them--thank you! They have excellent detail, and really transform the look of this beast. Cheers, Tom alaninaustria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 I managed to get some work done on this build. I scratchbuilt the shell ejection chutes for the cannon (the kit provides a solid piece of plastic), added a primer coat, then sprayed the RLM 65 and 71. Tomorrow, after I tend to my wife for Mother's Day, I might have time to cut out the masks and paint the RLM 70. After that, markings, and the winter coat. It sure is nice to see this build take shape. Cheers, Tom 109, jgrease, Zero77 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 The unspatted MLG looks really cool. Nice to see some color on 'er. Cheers, Wolf Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Alan, I'm still looking for a set. Are they still around and who has them? Tom, very happy to see this back buddy....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Harv, Thank you! Hope you find them, and it would be great to see your build! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Very nice work Tom, great colour scheme and those cannons look pretty cool. Looking forward to watching your progress. Regards. Andy Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Andy, Thank you! I haven't yet glued the barrels for ease of painting, but they sure help define the look of this beast. Hasegawa helpfully provides 1/32 templates for masking over rhe RLM 71, so I plan to attach them to contact paper and cut the shapes later today.

Uncarina Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 As I mentioned, Hasegawa provides 1/32 templates: ...which were used to cut the masks: So I managed to complete the camouflage and even the yellow theater markings (I do not like painting yellow--it goes where you don't want it, and is tricky to spray evenly where you do want it, even over paint). In any case, I am pleased so far. Now I will focus on applying the markings, painting the canopy, and working on the winter coat.
