Well I'm calling this one done. It's the older Ju-87B kit done in Hungarian Air Force markings. This represents a training craft operating out of Veszprem (my family's hometown), and had no guns mounted. The decals were from a small company called Kora, and they were tough to work with (especially getting them off the backing paper even after long soaks in hot water - tore a couple of them). I used the stencils from the kit. Only other problems were a short shot on one of the horizontal stab struts (not corrected as I was trying to actually complete a build), and some spitting by my airbrush during the final dullcoating which left spots on my finish. Here's the pics:

Thanks for looking.

This was actually a fun kit to build. If only Airfix was to put this much effort into their other kits. Thanks to those that tagged along on this build and to those that allowed me to participate. ;-)
