1/72 FW-189V6 and JU-87R-2

Post by Fermis »

Just finished a couple more...

MPM's FW-189 V6
Pretty basic (and not great fitting) kit.
Can't see into the pit, so I just painted it black in there. Had to add the guns and exhausts (exhausts were nothing more than a "ring" in the plastic).
Bombs and racks were spares from Airfix's Stuka.

Airfix 1/72 JU-87R-2
Mostly OOB...I scratched the rear seat (copper wire), used the gun from the FW-189 kit and added the sights, pitot tube is aluminum tubing, and the marking were cobbled together from the spares box.

Looking good Fermis! Any shots of the scratch built seat?

Thank-ya Sir!
And...no. I've gotten a little burned out on WIP shots...mainly due to the rumor(???) that Flickr is going to get pretty limited with the free hosting). Not only that...but I've been a bit "out of my element", with going 6-7 months without even turning on the bench lights.

Lol! No worries there. And after looking at all your work in the 1/1 thread, I can understand why so little bench time lately. And haven’t you also been flying a good bit lately?

They are both great models but I like that weird uparmoured Uhu the most.

Hey there my friend! Good to see more of your work! These are nice.
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!"..

Thanks dudes!
It's nice to be back at the bench with some regularity.
I was looking forward to enjoying my winter, free from the time sucker that work is...the jobs keep coming though. I haven't had more than 1 week off, yet. Work is still slow enough though, that I can work short-ish days...5-6 hours...then get in some bench time.

Been doing a fair amount of flying...not as much as I'd like. Close to wrapping up my commercial/single engine...just another flight and ground lesson, then I can get signed off for the checkride. Weather has been thwarting all efforts...I'm about a month behind what I should have been. So goes it!
