Wow that's a lot of detail in a 1/72 kit ! Looking good my friend ...

Wow this looks really good ! The details in the cockpit look like what you would find in a much larger scale plane. The seat belts in particular really pop ...

Looks like the fit is really good too. Airfix hit another home run for sure. It's ingenious how the outer lower wing panels go on...

Thanks for the updates my friend.

Little updates on the Stuka. The entire engine compartiment has to be build from 8 parts. The exhausts are the backbone in this part, so to speak, which can be seen with the crossmembers to hold it all in place. The fit of the parts is just perfect and it pops on the aircraft as one piece. Next are the wingflaps which come as one single part per wing. Well detailed and fits whitout any problem. Still to add are the speedbrakes, and then starting the first layer of paint on the underside in RLM65.

Some progress on my Stuka with the landing gear in place. Again no fitting problems and it all works very well. The Stuka is on for the paintshop now where I will be using paint from the Lifecolor range for the first time. Tests with the RLM colors looks promising, so let's see.

Furthermore my Italeri Italian Aces set arrived, so finaly I can start working on my MC.202 also. The set is no longer in producuction with Italeri so I had to search around in the hobbyshops to get one. Some of pictures show the content of the box, and in comparison to the Stuka the MC202 is a very small and sleek aircraft. Details are nice, but also show some ejector pin marks on difficult areas. So keep you posted on this one also as I will dig up some history of the real MC202 as my subject along the build. As allways comments, ideas and questions are welcome.

Ferry, I think you're pulling our collective legs - there is too much detail for 1/72nd scale. Tell us what scale it REALLY is! 1/24th, right?

Seriously, the details are excellent & you're building a mini-masterpiece.

I have to agree Greg - that new Airfix plastic looks sensational. It helps of course that it is being done justice - some really great fitting going on there Ferry, this is going to be great!

Man oh man ! The Stuka is fantastic my friend. I'm really looking forward to watching the 202 come to life as the Ju-87 has...
