Number 4 and IMO the best one out of the lot,its alot darker than i thought it would be
but im glad it is.
There are black paint marks on it that im not sure are suppose to be there but to me they add character it looks dirty,used and abused which i reckon is great.
















 
WOW !!!

You DO have a desert STUKA ....

Disregard my previous comments posted on the other thread ....

Looks good mate, I bet you are as happy as Larry!

Wayne...

Nice pick up and nice count. glad you got the stuka(s) you wanted. I see what you mean about black marks Figarti needs to give a kick up the backside of the little one they allow to weather sets!!!

My personal fav is still the winter version

Excellent model from Figarti mate. I like it. This makes me want to break up the box and work on the 1:32 Stuka from Trumpeter that 's been sitting on my shelf for ~6 months.

Glad I did not buy this version....What are all the "black marks"???? That is not good weathering IMO....I have the Winter Stuka and the Rudel Version....Both Excellent.

Wrong agian mate this plane is superb,the black marks on it IMO improve the weathering the pictures don't do it justice.
It looks like it has been in a "WAR".

No not wrong....since you own it I'm glad you like it....and since I don't like it I'm glad I don't own it:wink2:....The "weathering"/(scratches)/paint work on the recent Mosquitos was also poorly done IMO....Hopefully Figarti will address these issues.

Yep sorry mate not wrong just a difference of opinion,looks like it flew through a ****e load of "FLAK"
 
Regardless of whether any of us like the model (or not), these are, without a doubt, some of the best detail pics that have ever been posted, hereabouts, of a Figarti replica. Profoundest thanks to the OP. Salute!:salute::
 
I don't have the plane (since I have the K & C wooden version) but I like the weathering. Gives it that real battle tested look.
 
Frank...

realistic weathering and hobby weathering are two completely different things. My Mossie is currently primed grey and awaiting a new paint job when I get spare time. I just could not tolerate any longer the straight black lines added for ''weathering'' New decal from Hannants model shop on their way so, we shall see what comes of it.

Its certainly a good collection of Stuka's Wayne has

She's a beaut model Wayne, love the desert markings and the red-snake. I don't mind the black weathering either, it looks like flaking paint to me, thanks for posting mate.{sm3}
