Re: Revell 1/48 Stuka Ju-87G-1 Tank Buster
Coming along nicely.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Got hung up on painting the yellow....just like I do when I get to the clear parts. But I bulled my way through and got the white undercoat and then yellow sprayed on. Waiting on it to cure and then we'll start on the other colors.,.pics pending

Yes white works well for a base coat for yellow. And so does yellow zinc chromate. Looking forward to seeing some progress photos Jeeves.

I agree: those figures don´t look like me, being a German... 
But what I am talking of, not having mastered painting skin tones myself...
Good to see this beautiful Oldie making progress!

Sorry for the delay but my photo booth is in the unheated part of the garage so it's been too damn cold!

Well, in spite of your challenges there, it's starting to look like a Stuka.

Looking good! The Revell/Monogram Stuka looks really nice when finished. It may be an old, but no bad kit!

A shot of the underside...
Came up on the build step that usually stalls me with aircraft- masking canopies...But I took a sick day and got it done and sprayed the dark green...Then camo masking and the final color. I did find some flash bit on the canopy parts sides...But nothing too dramatic.

Had a bit of a hiccup after what I thought was finishing the paint job...
Needless to say I had to respray some parts...And then I sealed up everything with a good coat of Future before I attempted to fix the fuselage band..
