My little stocking filler - Revell Micro-wings Stuka!

[Guest]

I know it's only a £1.50 model kit, but if you're going to build it, then you might as well have a half-decent stab at it! :thumbs-up:

[Guest]

Thats a decent stab ?????

Thats a top quality job considering the size Bob .... I've done a couple of planes since i've returned to the hobby .... a 1/32 scale nightmare, a couple or three 1/72 scale semi-nightmares and a 1/72 scale jobbie that ended up half revell kit and half toothbrush handle (see the "what if" group build) .. still a nightmare.

My hat is off to you sir

That is cracking Bob, the paint job must have tested your skills.

Nicely done mate.

Thanks guys.

Nice one. I have only ever built two aircraft in that scale. It's a challenge painting them isn't it!

You made a good job of it!

Nice job bob ,lovely paintwork. Theres a certain satisfaction in doing these little tiddlers isnt there? If youve got the bug i'd recommend having a go at one of the Sweet kits , although theyre about 4 times the price of the revell micro wings (about £10) theyre so much better detailed and you get 2 complete kits in each boxing plus several choices of marking on the excellent decal sheet, cheers tony

Thanks Tony. Yes, I really enjoyed doing this one - so cute! I did the paint scheme from the Airfix 1:48 Tropical (Libya) rather than the plain sand-coloured one suggested in the Revell booklet. The time-frame and location are the same, but the decal codes probably aren't quite right. In any case, who cares that much if the paintwork looks nice? :lol: It wasn't just the painting I enjoyed, either. I opened out the lower engine cowling front and back and made an inset chin radiator, plus I made two little chaps to sit in the cockpit seeing as it's going to be displayed as a "flier". The cowling's too thick to see them though, and I could have painted the framing a little finer. Might have another go at that!

Thanks, everybody, very encouraging.

Hehe, it's awesome! No storage issues after the build either.

LOL. I'm doing a 1:24 scale one next. I don't know where I'll put that!
