    A splendid example of a Stuka. I don't envy you the task of masking that greenhouse of a canopy.

      It wasn't exactly fun, but came out OK I think.

      There seems to be a consensus that the model needs some dust, so I'll squirt some of this at it later:

      if I don't like it I can always wash it off - that's one of the nice things about the Flory washes.

          That looks superb, shame to throw dust on but it is a desert based aircraft

            Doesn't show much on the upper surfaces, which I suppose shows that Sandgelb is a good match for desert sand. Interesting to see the build-up on hte leading edges of the trailing edge flaps.
            Does it need more?

                        Very nice, Pete. I do not know if the Luftwaffe in Africa worked to the same levels as in Europe, but, if they did, then the aircraft were given a good clean as soon as they landed from a sortie. In other words not too much dust. Yours looks just right to my eyes.
                        John.

                                That's a lovely result Pete. I wouldn't overdo the sand effect, I think it's subtle but effective as it is.
