Very nice and cool presentation. Cool plane

I did this one a few years ago. It was a very nice kit considering it's age. The rivets are prominent and out of scale, but look alright. Nice job. The scheme is quite unusual as people usually build them in Luftwaffe markings, not Italian markings.

This is a pig of a kit, I still have nightmares about the raised riverts!!!! But you've made a great job of it.

Nice work. Can you tell me how you made the antenna tensioning mechanism where the wire meets the tail fin? Been wanting to create something like that for a while but don't know how to go about it.

Hi I did a quick tutorial on another forum on how to do the areial, I'll try and transfer it across to here for you.

hi all,a few members have asked how I did the deflector and isolator (may be not the right names) on my stuka, now this is not my solution as I picked it up on another forum and I don’t take any credit for this at all, so this is how I did it.Here are the things you may need tweezers small drill bit, smaller the better, or something with a small diameter.blu tac<e z line (fine) or what you use for aerial cables 1mm or 1.5 mm plastic card.Fine wire (fuse wire or jewellery wire)Lighter.first i placed the drill bit in the blu tac. now warm the plasti card with the lighter (watch your fingers) and push it down onto your drill bit until you have a cone.don’t go through the plastic.Now the more you push the smaller the cone you'll have. cut the cone of the plasti card and snip the end off. you should have small wedge shaped cone with a hole through the middle. Sand it and tidy it up.that’s your cone shape done now for the spring.This is what I used thin and it holds its shape.ok wrap it around the same drill bit you used for the cone. then push it together and you have your spring. Keep one of the ends long as it is easier to hold.now here’s the tricky bit getting them on the cable (e z line) or whatever you use. Patience young apprentice. tadanow attach to your model as you would normally i use ca and thats the beauty of e z line it sticks and you can stretch it.i placed a dab of PVA in-between the cone and spring and dabbed each with a bit a ca after all was in place.Touch of paint and your good to go. Not sure if you could do this for 1/72 scale as it may look out of scale but should be easier for 1/32.

Cracking job, mate and thanks for sharing the method on how to create the spring and cone pieces, much appreciated!

Cheers,
