Very strange way of doing the undercarriage leg isnt it. Why didnt they just mould it as one single piece, surely theyve got the moulding technology ? The brass replacements sounds like the best idea for the next one al.

Al, Is it possible to drill down and insert a brass rod to reinforce the leg?
Sorry for no updates. Not really much to show at the moment. Just painting up ancillaries before they are fitted to the main kit. These should be done by today and then tomorrow will be fitted to aircraft ready for the start of the main painting. Just wish i had more time and energy to put into this kit. Been doing 12 hour days for the last 12 days so i'm shattered every night when i get home. But it's getting there. Will post some pics when i start the main painting.
Ask the misses to read you a Stug bed time Story!

Just about all the ancillaries painted. Only thing i've forgotten was to order was the canopy masks. Yes the Montex masks came with canopy masks, but they are for the Hasegawa kit and not the Revell kit. There is a distinct difference in sizes between the two. Hence i shall either have to mask freehand or order some.
Also added the 20mm underwing cannons. The certainly change the look of the aircraft.

And so the terrifying moment i start using the Montex masks for real. Painted the white on first then have started to use the national markings masks. They aren't cut great and are slightly out of size (they are for the Hasegawa kit and not the Revell kit). But it's a new challenge for me and i'm hoping to do a good enough job with them to try them again. I have plenty of other subjects i'd like to use them on.
Good job Al, never heard of them

Thanks Al, one more thing to shove into my tiny brain lol
Masks look great al , have you just got them for the crosses or all the markings?
Tony. The pack comes with spinner ring, national crosses, swastikas, aircraft number and internal/external canopy masks. They do them for all sorts of aircraft. I have a set for my Me262 and a Fw190 A5. Thinking of getting them for a JV44 Fw190 D9
Black painted. Now to re-mask the black and then get on with painting the number and swastikas. After that it's down with the actual aircraft paint colours.

Nice work on the masks.
You have made a fantastic job of this throughout the whole kit.
Love what you have done with the office and the belts finish it off to a T. (I tried those fabric belts once and if I recall tossed them across the room! And I am a patient man! lol).
I lookforward to the main paint sessions.

Finally got hold of a set of canopy masks. I went for the Montex ones as they do an inside/outside mask set. They are fantastic. Far better than the masking tape ones from Eduard imho. Now that the canopy is done i can finally get the RLM 75 down and then mask off the Erla design for the RLM 76.
