Nice built and all the work will paid out. Saw some little things which I have loaded into my memory

Took to the airbrush today, gave the underside a few squirts after spending yesterday messing with panel lines and such. Paint is Humbrol enamel 65 which is a very close to RLM 78.

Thanks for calling by folks, its nice to know your calling in.

Been a little bitty, gritty, fiddly day. Started with a bit of an over-spray on the underside of the Stuka out in the garage while the frost was still on the ground, I was not happy with a couple of small areas. I then started to improvise with a new rear gun as the kit gun was a pack of poo tickets. I also needed to make the pilots gun sight which was sadly lacking in this Airfix kit. I just hope I've done it justice after the brilliant pic provided by Wojtek. I have a feeling it mat be a little oversize but I will make it fit.

That's it from me today folks, time for a glass of wine.

Be careful about those memory banks. As we age we forget where we put tgem

Don't worry Vic, yours was broken into a robbed. It will be ok lay your head back down and continue to drull.

Well that's a turn up for the books Wayne, never realised you had done the same build all those years ago. Thanks for the offer to check it out, I'll give it the run over tomorrow.

Thanks for popping in folks. Waked on the first of the upper coats today, looks a bit pale in the pic but I ca assure you its quite a bit darker. I used Humbrol enamel 242 (RLM 71).
