Hey guys,
It took me alittle longer than I had thought to get this kit finished, but hey, It's done!

This is a Hasegawa 48 scale kit ( kit# Jt13 ) that I had picked up a few years back. This was supposed to be my entry in the "Ladies build", but canopy problems as well as a few others killed that idea.

I will get a couple of pics of the "office" and post them for ya to see.

Hi Penny.

It was too bad you couldn't finish it in time to fight the others, but it turned out nicely in the end.

Very nice build.

How did you get the cockpit looking so dirty and grimy?

I done an acrylic wash on the inside. It was a shade just slightly darker. After that was dry, I sprayed the whole cockpit with dirty enamal thinner. It doesn't remove any paint, but does give an overall "well used" look to it, but yet not over done.

The decals came with the kit. I had 3 different planes to choose from with the sheet.

Very Nice looking build Penny. I hate 87 canopies myself, but you can't tell you had any problems

I had problems with the back portion where the antenna is located. It spilt there when I was making the hole for the antenna a liltte bigger. Just luckily, that spot was cover up with the paint. Otherwise this kit would've seen the business end of a good hammer...

Nice clean build there , just brought a couple of these including the torpedo carrier version. I have always liked the look of the Stuka.
