Ok, here is my Stuka made with Pickelhaube's amazing kit! This one took allot of time, many days of tweaking this and scratch building that to get it to this level. Big shout out to Jackson and his amazing decals!! Thanks guys!! Hope you enjoy the video! Wish my friend Jim was still with us to enjoy it, this one is for you Jim! (Ram04)

You know JNB I think this may be your best plane project you have done. In my opinion.
I think it is flawless !!!
And I am not trying to blow smoke.
Thank you for giving me credit !
Also thank you so much for your Wirble and Horten videos.
But that German guy's intro is still creepy .

Thanks, I forgot about the one thread limit I have around here so I fixed it and attached it to that "one thread" back in the 1/18 forum for everyone to see. Thanks, yes PH this is the finest one I have done in 1/18 so far for sure. It took over a month (4hrs a day +/-)
I wish I could get a picture of the inside of the cockpit, the rear part of the gun is just as detailed with two ammo belts being fed in, its visible to look at though. You did a great job on the kit PH but I will say it is not for a beginner, you give the essentials but to make it right allot has to be done to the plane, like deleting panel lines, deleting the wing MG bulges, lot of stuff.. I started with just leaving the bulges and fairing over the gun but I read that that was only done on the short winged G-1 and the extended wing G-2 had no such bulges. I made the prop rotate and the canopy slides, although I would not put pilots in it as they would look like GI Joes in it because of the detail/quality differences.
I know you have sold a few of these kits PH, has anyone else ever finished theirs? I would like to see others if you know of any pics anywhere...
