tomprobert Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I've just added the final touches to Airfix's classic 1/24th scale Stuka. This was actually the Heller boxing but the plastic is the same - @Erwingave me a great deal in this last year and I couldn't resist A great kit to build, and despite its age it's crammed full of detail, has some lovely surface detail and goes together really well. What you see here is as it comes in the box, with the only additions being some Eduard belts and a bit of extra plumbing in and around the engine. All paints were Xtracolour enamels.

Anthony in NZ Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Tom, I love this mate! I always dreamed of having this kit as a kid....I was quite taken by the cranked wings and diving boxart on the original Airfix release. You have done an awesome job and brought some nice memories back to me....bravo mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Palimaka Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) You've done an excellent job on that old kit! They really are impressive when they are done, especially when you put in that extra effort like you have. Thank you for sharing that!
