The wife was away for 3 days.So I spent a lot of time on the model.Shes back now,so the build will slow down!.

Hi Dave

Slowing down a build isn't always a bad thing. I know you know this but sometimes it's better to just let the model go at it's own pace and enjoy the experience. The Kanonvogel is coming along nicely. The Eduard cockpit etch really does make a difference. I try and leave the small etch knobs until just before I button up the fuselage halves. In this way they're less likely to be knocked off.

This Stuka should look fabulous when finished with the splinter camo and the spiral spinner - very cool.

All the best

Nice choice Dave, a change for you that's for sure. Nice start, the cockpit is looking great.

I love these Stuka builds going about and you have really nailed this G-2 cockpit...

I normally only build WW2 aircraft.But I've started to do the occasional jet as I aquired a few when I bought 30 kits last year from the Widow of a former work colleague.

I've been masking my 'Serengeti' Dornier for several days now.....and I still haven't done the wings

I've replaced the kit plastic cannon barrels with the turned brass items.You can see the difference in the photo below.Ive also had to apply a fair bit of filler to various fuselage seams even though I assembled everything carefully.
