good job on that Stuka! I had similar one around 20 years ago, but I wasn't painting models at that time. Just glued and applied decals

 

[Chris S]

Thanks Roman ...Think we all used to do that ;D ;D

Chris.

 

[longlance67]

Very nice finish Chris ;D

 

[Dusky]

Very nice. Did you use any masks for the canopy? I have a couple 1/72 bomber kits, but I'm definitely going to use Eduard masks for them.

 

[Chris S]

Thanks Shane ,glad ya like it buddy

Sorian ,Thanks . No masks used on this one ,it was nearly impossible to mask ,so it was the magnifyers and freehand brush for this The rest of the Stuka was AB'd and paper masks cut for the splinter camo .

Chris

 

[Dusky]

Wow that canopy looks nice. Hard to believe you freehanded it.

 

[Chris S]

Thanks Soarin,

Its actually easy done using magnifiers and a good brush . Looks like a couple of nice projects you are starting ,look forward to them

Chris.

 

[Dusky]

I don't have magnifiers, good brushes nor a steady hand. ;D

I'll be taking several models up with me to Uni. to work on. They will ground to a halt when they are ready for exterior paint. I still need to get paint for the interiors... once I make up my mind which paint I want to use...

 

[Chris S]

Well ,if you are going to be Brush painting I recomend Vallejo Model Colour
