chrish Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I found this while looking for Flanker parts....so maybe I should try building it while currently awaiting Zacto pieces for the Flanker...or procrastinating on the Flanker? The reason I think this one ended up on the SOD was losing sight of the original idea (the snake scheme) and thinking maybe I liked the shark mouth better. In any case it's OOB Trumpeter kit with Eagle Cals decals (if it gets that far) It's only been doom shelving for a couple of years now so not really a SOD=doom as an SOD=delayed. The kit as it sits today; Very nice decals Thanks for looking Greg W, Dart_Schatten, Martinnfb and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I’ve never seen the shark mouth one done before. That looks seriously cool. Martinnfb, Out2gtcha and Alain Gadbois 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking as well, and a very grubby airframe, which could also be fun? 12 hours ago, dodgem37 said: My favorite scheme for a -B.

James Rademaker Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Can’t wait to see the finished product, looks like a cool model. Jim Martinnfb and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 some paint laid down, not too fussy about the exact colors but still trying to get as close as possible mixing Tamiya acrylics...still having to mix Tamiya acrylics to get RLM colors...really Tamiya? Really?? Off my soap box and back to work. There does also seem to be a bit of color shift from real life to computer screen Thanks for looking mc65, Martinnfb, Out2gtcha and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaro Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thanks for pictures. Finish line is close! PS: I've always liked the crude look of early Stuka variants. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 I want(ed) a heavily worn used (but not wrecked) look to the Stuka so it got hair spray between every layer of paint. Paint and decals on; Whitewash on; weathering underway; Thanks for looking themongoose, coogrfan, Troy Molitor and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 more work accomplished on the ugly bird The kit comes with quite nice main gear. I, on a whim, chopped off the spats and went with the bare legs, thinking that if it was in winter operations it'd make sense to remove the spats...? Always seems weird to me to have such a filthy airframe with shiny clean windows but, oh well, there it is...masks off underneath dirt Thanks for looking Trak-Tor, themongoose, Michael931080 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Thanks! Looking at Martinns pictures, I could carry the exhaust soot all the way back past the trailing edge of the wing. hmmmmmm MikeMaben and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
