The Eduard and Tamiya kits take a little longer. But once I figure out how to handle the propeller mount, this one really didn't take long...

The decals for this are from the Strike Eagle set. The chevrons and the tail marking are all two-part. You have to put the white down first and then put the black over it. Keeping all that lined up is a bit of a challenge but doable! Cheers!!!

I bought this one back when Eduard had first released it (2011). The tree suggests it was released in 2021 which I believe is about 10 years off.

After a little reading, White 7 was actually Uffz. Rudolf Moycis from JG.27. His aircraft is often pictured with Clade's White 2 but Clade's machine has less side camouflage "blobs" and more mottling.

This is definitely one of my most anticipated ones - I got it years ago but I was pretty young and didn't understand how to do it. The painting is still a bit too much for me, but I plan to get in some practice with some of my other kits beforehand so I can make this one look really nice.

I hope to go to the Naval Air Museum in Lakeland (Pensacola?) also! There is an SP-5B I would like to see and get pictures of! BTW, John (bug hunter) I think your build looks better than the real thing! I wish they had left the inlet open!

How good is this build 😮 You knocked this one out the park. Brilliant creation and l really enjoyed following build .
Well done 👏👍👍

Thanks Mr D! This is a challenge mostly due to the size of the kit. The CFTs are a bear to get right, but I did my best. The F-15I is going to be even larger so I am going to do a bit of planning before I start. May have to do most of the work on the F-15I out in the hangar...

Very nice Ju 87 , well built. But what happened at the bottom !!???? With the crosses !!???? They are totally crooked !! Can you correct that ?
1  27 December 2024, 23:06
Desert Marlin Author
Thanks Rui! Damian, This particular marking set requires that the crosses be at an angle. Apparently Hans Ulrich Rudel had them that way. I could absolutely remove them and repaint, but if they were straight, that might not be correct…
