  1. I don't know if I have the adjectives for this. Truly this is one of the best I have seen in any scale! Your patience to stay with this project is admirable. One question, what did you use for your exterior wash? Again this is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Hi,

    basically the kit goes together well. There are just a few things to watch out:

    • Main Landing gear: The legs are slightly "toed in" if installed as is. You can try to bend them into the correct position.

    • Cockpit: A bit simplified (and not entirely correct?). Red Star has announced a replacement as a future release (or you build the canopy closed and don't worry about it).

    • Exhaust: Extremely simplified compared to the real thing. Red Star resin item is almost a must.

    • Nose/Shock cone: The diameter is too big at the back and blocks basically the whole intake. It is not really visible as long you don't look down the intake.

    Well, that were my observations. Experts may find more but I was otherwise pleased with the kit. Definitely one of the better efforts of Trumpeter.

    Cheers

    Thanks Markus

  3. That's fantastic! What do you use for the base in your photos? It really looks like an airfield tarmac.

    Particle board that I painted. Thanks for the comment and question.

  4. Hi,

    Here are a couple of pics of my quick build of an H-34. I had not built a copter for a few years so I thought I would build one. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

  5. I keep waiting for Hans-Ulrich Rudel to come walking into the scene to climb aboard. Well done! As an aside, how did you find the kit? I have been really into 1/32 lately and the Stuka is on my list of "wants". Great work again!

    Hi Don,

    Thanks for taking the time to write. I got the kit on Ebay.

  6. Dang! Besides being a nice model and paint scheme, the photos add almost perfect realism to the scene.

    The only thing that caught my eye was the antenna wire, seems a little thick and bows upward toward the mast.

    Second look, nighttime exhausts look too clean and uniform in color. I see some subtle weathering here but I think more is needed.

    Thanks for your reply and copy all.

  7. Hi all,

    I was able to reshoot my Hasegawa 1/32 Ju 87D-8 Nachtschlacht from squadron 1.NSG 9 Italy during the summer of 1944. I was not satisfied with the pictures from last year due to the color of the country side background.
