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!

Hi everybody!
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?

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

Hi,
Tiny update to the junkers this week. I've been working some on the Spandau and mount. first try at the wooden ring was a big Fail, so it was repainted.
