Well done Charles.I like the pants. Although these were of a bit different shape at the upper part.

 

[Catch22]

Looks good!

And as for heat, it's supposed to be 30 friggin' degrees C here for like 2 weeks straight. I'm not used to the heat at all, and certainly not for this long, good thing we bought air conditioning last year... At least it's not humid.

 

[Heinz]

Ah low 30s is nothing down my way during summer.

 

[Screaming Eagle]

yup, its actually quite nice. keep it up charles!

 

[Wayne Little]

i'm really enjoying this build 8) i made the spitfire a few years ago but left it as a skeleton then added detail to the model... like engine/air scoops/fuel tank/full interior/wheels/armour plating/guns all from balsa wood

keep the pictures coming we want more pictures

Just remember, you asked for it. Here's a few more. The wing has been
firmly mated to the fuselage. Of course, I had to put my finger thru the
bottom of the wing..... Tomorrow we'll try to get the wheel pants attached.

FWIW, I don't like the way the wing tips came out on the Bf109. the FW-190
or the Stuka. Next build I'll fabricate solid balsa wing tips.

I'm with Wayne Charles.

Thanks, Matt. The camo will be the standard for the Stuka in 1939-40.
This will be the mount of Staffelkapitan Oberleutnant Bruno Dilly of 3./StG 1.
Wayne was kind enough to get me the info on aircraft markings for this
plane. I hope to do it justice.

Tonight we did an over light sanding, one more coat of 50/50 mix of clear
dope/thinner. After it dried I attached the spinner. While that was drying
I started painting the canopy [swartzgrun]. By the time I finished that the
spinner was dry, so I painted the spinner and prop with RLM70. Everything
will dry overnight, and tomorrow I will do some more on the canopy. See
how far I get, I may paint the wheel pants by hand. I have to start working
on the trailing edge slats, too.
