Finally got back into finishing these. Had problems with some of the decals not being opaque enough but I purchased a rub-on system from Pulsar fx. I still have to try that out to see if it works. The paint and markings came out quite well and I can't wait to weather these things.

Very nicely done! Those tropical filters are works of art.

Well here they are after all the decals/transfers. The rub-on decal system from pulsar-fx works really well. There is a bit of a learning curve but this allows you to print white on the back of decals for an opaque look. The victory and 14's were made with it.

The next part will be weathering, which will be my favorite part.

Man these look real good.

I also like that you made 2 of them. Great work!!!!

Thanks for the compliments! I made 2 so I could maybe sell one to recoup some of my cost!

Next project will be the Hawk 75 in Vichy markings...Pickelhaube how's the Stuka going?

Well I thought that I was doing alright and almost had the cowling all done panel lines and side scoop. But I did the side scoop all WRONG

I need to sand it down a reduce the profile of it. But I tell you what I HAVE done. I poured my RTV for the canons and by the end of the week I could be making them. I know that they will not be correct for the B version of the Stuka BUT THEY WOULD LOOK REAL COOL. So if you want a tank buster you get a tank buster. Maybe they made one back then. If they had the planes they used them. It could of happend.

Boy, Matthew, seeing Jack's painted version of your P-36 really gives me motivation to start my Hawk. The 109's are just about completed with only some more weathering needed, then it's time to move ahead!

I dont have a Stuka but I still will buy a set of cannons if available. I think that was the first plastic aircraft model I ever built. I love the lines of the Stuka!

Hey Norman,
When you build yours PLEASE post the build. I think that would be cool. Unless you totaly slam me for kitting the thing. Then that would not be cool. Then I will have to offer my head for execution.

That would be a bloddy mess. Children will cry the wife ...well she may like it so please be kind.

Just in time for BBI's release....I finally finished my own G2 of Marseille's last mount. This was a very enjoyable project and I had to "modify" my skills since I am used to building 1/48Th scale aircraft! It's amazing the amount of time/money to modify these things, and I only had to do very slight modifications at that. (Resin wheels, 2 types of decals). Hope you all enjoy it!!!

Next I have to get a used P-40 so I can start making Matthew's P-36.
