Hi everybody,
Sorry for crossposting, but Terri suggested I should joint the WNW Group Build. Great idea!

Hi Stephen!
You're the "toastmaster" for the Group build? Add me in if you can please: who knows, with the speed I've done this I might even manage another WNW kit before end date!

At last, a new update on the Junkers build.
Actually, I've come quite far, but the work isn't exactly "photo chic", mostly grey plastic, hehe...
Anyway, heres a link to the article, with some good hints for those about to build the kit:

I like it Hans: I have one in the stash and am watching your build on this to pick up some pointers. You mentioned having some difficulties; in what areas are you having difficulties?
Best

Mark: I wanted to try out some poplular armour finishing techniques on this one. I'll continue with the "oil paint dots" trick, we'll see where I end up. could be disastrous, or work!
Terri: They do! Tricky to airbrush, as they are in some sort of similar spectrum, gives you epilepsy if you look too long
