Well I have started the Stuka build and also started the PE. The first thing I noticed is the need for a decent PE spru cutter, an array of various tweezers, not so fast setting CA and a decent vice or maybe justifying my need for new shinny kit !!Should be interesting as first time for PE.

It's a pity that most of it will hardly be seen on the completed build but I know it's there.Looks like you got the hang of sumthin'? That stuff does make a difference don't it.

So I bought a bit of kit to help with the PE. Wow, that makes a huge difference.Well I have started the Stuka build and also started the PE.

I decided to mark up the main instructions with highlighter on the bit's that require the PE. Don't want to miss anything.
I'm finding that PE is a marmite sort of thing, I'm really loving the intricacy of it but at the same time hating it. It's weird I know, probably something to do with the OCD cutting in !!
Anyway, a few photos of my first attempts.

Maybe, but the cocktail stick, old knife blade and the wife's eyebrow tweezers just weren't doing it for me !!Cheater.

Made a little more progress, the PE takes ages but I am liking the challenge. It's finally starting to look like a Stuka at last.So I bought a bit of kit to help with the PE. Wow, that makes a huge difference.
