In time, in time. Spent today finishing up the Martin baker seats for my Tornado builds then packing away to clear the decks for some real action.

Watch this space………

Am hoping to Pete…….the engine cowlings and maybe on the wing over the gun access.

Nothing to post today folks, spent the day shopping ready for visiting Pommes coming on Saturday, prawns and snags on the barbie and all the stubbies you can sink sort of Saturday and all the local vineyards are having a festival open day on Sunday, so I recon Monday may be a bit of a write-off.

Help!!!!
I'm hoping to display the Stuks with open engine cowlings but am unable to find how the cowlings look when removed. Anybody out there among you fine folk got any pictures?

Sweet build mate

Pictures of Stuka's with cowls off seem to be hard to find!

Been hard at it today, fitting, filing and cussing but at last we've got started.

Pics as below:

Still hunting for open or removed engine cowling, have seen one on another model that’s broken down into five pieces, a top and bottom, with a left and right middle panel and one other, but the detail is not very clear.

Nice work so far Vic. I haven't been able to find any pics of the open cowlings I'm afraid, but I think there was one posted a few months ago in the modelling threads - can't remember who's though!
