1/56th Stuka scratch build
« on: 18 November 2008, 10:40:05 PM »
Got the Stuka finished in about 10 days!  It will participate in a 1939 Polish invasion game tomorrow evening.  This is another scratch build model with plans taken from Solid Model Memories:

Bloody amazing. Now you´ll need a 1/56th Radar station for the Stuka to attack. ;)

 :o I can;t wait to see this thing to night.  As for the radar station, I can't have that built in time  lol  John will have to settle for his choice of a Soviet horde or plucky Poles.

None. "Official" is for the brainwashed, yet otherwise unwashed GW fanboy crowds. lol

Absolutely stunning!
I wouldn't even know where to begin.
If i had half your talent I'd scratchbuilt all those Breguet XIXs and Nieuport 52s' myself.

You are very gifted - no way could I carve something out of wood like that.  Well done and I'm very jealous

Yes, files and sandpaper.  The above link to solidmodelmemories has a downloadable set of instruction published by US govt to make the observation models - these are very good instructions - I would encourage anyone with the free time to try their hand at it.  It certainly is easier to buy a plastic kit in 1/48th, but I'm one of those fanatics who believes 1/56th scale is best for 28mm...
