where is the centerline bomb? don't see it in the package.
I guess the wings are dive-brakes up, it looks like they molded the 7.92mm MGs on the wings? Are they well detailed.
The Fuel tanks/110kg bombs look awesome. The fuselage is excellent.
wish I could add a dive-siren to the yellow nose, I guess I would swap out undercarriages with the stuka that has one.
How does the plane fit together? any problems that need to be worked out?

Panzer,
my sons received some 21CT 1/32 planes, i.a. the desert Stuka. Don't worry, the central bomb is in, it's fixed under the fuselage. I agree with somebody's opinion that it looks too small as well as it's "arm". There is also a strange "pocket" on the lower surface of the fuselage, behind the cooler, but is fortunately not well visible. The little problem is, that you couldn't fit the wings enough stiff to the fuselage; I'm not sure yet if better to use the cement or to stiffen them in another way. But the whole plane looks great! It's one of the best 21CT products and I have to notice their models are better and better. I can imagine the quality of the next ones: Spitfires, Hurricanes...

The wings are a tough fit (similar to P-47 in PITA factor) but a firm, careful pressure will get thm on without breaking anything..

The dive sirens are present on the landing gear, right? They are just missing the little props. The desert version doesnt have them, the other three do. The odd indentation(pocket) is where the dive window was located. They modeled it on the 1:18 version, but left it "filled" in the 32x version. The main bomb is smaller than the size modellled on the 1:18 version, but they are still correct. Nice models with a tempermental wing stucture- I agree...

Very nice models
My favorites are a toss up between the yellow nose and snake versions. Only the green "splinter cammo" version has the little propellers on the sirens, all others have the sirens removed.

nope just capped stubs, no prop for the sirens.
