Re: Heller 1/72nd Focke Wulf Fw 56 Stosser.

Nice work. It looks quite realistic. I've not seen a German plane with a yellow tab on the tail fin. Does that signify a training plane?

Yep, single seat advance trainer. Now I just need to find where I stashed my charcoal sets. I like use them for doing engine exhaust detailing, and also found that I was out of Solvaset and a few other items I normally like to use. I definitely need to get in some more practice building again, but having fun. Normally I wash my kits before construction to get rid of any releasing agents or grease that still might be on the model, I was half way through before I remembered. Just have to get in a little more practice on building again. When I get the larger kits in I need to find myself a jewelers loupe or a headset for doing cockpit interiors on the larger models. I also remembered that I really do not like to make parasol monoplanes, especially when the kit does not have attachement points.Some of the struts had attachment points on the wing, but only slight depression for the mainstruts on the fuselage sides, nothing for the struts on the cowling decking. Putting on the wing was just a whole lot of fun. So this weekend making a run to Hobby Town USA to see if they have any modeling supplies, and the rest I will pick up on line.
 

Brewster Buffalo, Hawk 75A, Fokker D.XXI, Polikarpov I-16, Fiat G.50, Macchi C. 200, PZL P.11c, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch ,,,, now those are real planes.
