Hi everyone this will be my entry for the Malta build (if acceptable)built as is straight from the box as I'm not big on after market parts n decals etc.


I'll await a decision from the mods before commencing thanks for looking in cheers John.

Seems to me that the stuka was responsible for attacking ships bringing aid to Malta.

The Stuka was used against Malta by the Luftwaffe and the Italian airforce.So i say build it!.

John,


Just had a quick look on 'tinternet. Stukas were based in Sicily and attacked allied shipping, including HMS Illustrious whilst she was en-route to Malta to help with the defence of the Island.


Stukas given to the Italian Airforce did actually attack Malta itself.


As far as I'm concerned, it is fine and dandy to use your kit for the Battle of Malta build.

Scroll down and this site gives some interesting info on the Italian Stuka's attacking Malta.

Of all the old 1/24 scale Airfix series, this was certainly the best kit of them all. Looking forward to seeing it come to life.

Stukas tried to sink the carrier Illustrious whilst it was in Valletta harbour as well.The war museum in Valletta has bits of shot down Stuka in it.Well worth a visit if you ever go to Malta.

This sounds like a true grit Stuka to build and definatly I'll be watching this. I always liked this aircraft although I'm sure a few may disagree. 1/24 should be a fair size too!!


Looking forward to this one

Probably best to stick with a Luftwaffe version. The Italian aircraft were modified for their use, I can't remember how or if it was obvious


Cheers
