Al's Kanonen Vogel

Well i got the go ahead from SWMBO and i thought i wouldn't push it with a big model. So i've plumped for a 1/72 Academy Ju-87 G-2 piloted by the highly decorated and master tank killer, Maj. Hans-Ulrich Rudel Kommodore SG2. The kit shows the aircraft in summer paint scheme but i intend to paint it in a winter scheme. If i finish this kit well in time then i have another plan for something to build. But we'll wait and see.

So here is the box art and sprues to start with.

Very nice Allyne, great to have you on board. This will make an interesting build. Nasty looking things at the best of time but those cannons make it positively evil.

[stona]

Cool subject! Those cannons certainly packed a punch.Did you know that each gun only had a magazine with six rounds?

Nasty piece of work, Rudel.

Keep us posted!

Cheers

Cool Tank buster Allyne!

I thought about one of these when I had the knocked out T34 in mind. I look forward to seeing your Russian tank killer in it's winter clothes.

This looksd a little beauty of a build, really looking forward to seeing this come together, regards Martin :-)

Great choice allyne, im sure itll go together beautifully the academy 1/72 kits always do, looking forward to seeing it in winter camo, cheers tony

This is going to be a quick build. Nothing much to the aircraft itself. In fact the mini-dio base will take me alot longer as i've never done a dio before lol.

So this is how things are going so far. Going together smoothly with no problems so far (touch wood). I would recommend this kit to a new person/child to build as it's that easy. I feel a bit of a cop-out now. But i have another plan in waiting for when i finish this.

Looking good Allyne. Don't worry about it being a basic model, the main thing is that you are taking part, doesn't matter how simple or complex it is.

[Guest]

A very nice looking kit there Allyne this should be intersting to keep an eye on iam intregued.

Done a little bit more of it today. I've got a feeling it's going to take longer to mask the canopy than building the aircraft lol

Great clean build, Allyne. Graham is right-this was one evil looking SOB. raying: Take care, Jeff

Hi Allyne

That is one fantastic looking Stuka you've got there. It may be a simple kit but you're doing a fabulous job with it. Actually, it looks bigger than 1/72 - which is always a good sign as it means there's plenty of detail there.

Cheers

hi allyne. thats a real nice build. a quite fancy doing one of those stuka's myself now. and masking up that canopy looks like one heck of a detailed job.

[AlanG]

Well that's the canopy masked. I now have squares in front of me when i shut my eyes lol. Took alot of swearing and patience.

Just need to add a few little bits to the aircraft airframe then it's time to start painting.
