Great stuff Terry, if you can find one that would be fantastic. My thinking to this point is that the top cowling is all one piece that lifts off after the removal a side panels, the port being in one piece and the stbd as a two piece unit. Whatever the answer, I still feel it would be worth the effort to show the engine.

Back in the saddle today after guests from UK have moved on so got some work done on the GB, will post some pics tomorrow

Here's the latest on the Stuka, finished up getting the two halves together so if time tomorrow will be doing a little filling and sanding.

Comments and advise will be warmly received.

Very nice work Vic! BTW, the 'heater' is the oxygen regulator/water trap, with the perforated 'cage' being the guard. I'm not sure about the JU87 without checking reference pics, but the guard was often bare bright metal on some other aircraft. The regulator valve 'tap' would normally be mid blue in colour.

Great work so far Vic, Im impressed.... My kit didnt come with magazine drums or the heater, but the heater isnt seen with the seat in place so no biggie there....

But those drums.... Hmmmm.......... Wonder if I can scratch build some, they are a nice touch...

The instrument detail work is commendable. You might try dabbing the gauges with a clear gloss paint or Future to enhance the dials and simulate glass.

Thanks for that guys, I've already sealed the cockpit and gunner into fuselage, but that info is stored away in the pea brain for the next build

Did a little filling and emery work today on the fuselage, used the filler and nail polish remover trick and it worked a treat. Also did a small Mod on the wing flaps port side, will work the other side if time tomorrow.

 

[Wayne Little]
