Re: HM´s Stuka cockpit...

In German: "Ging so."

In English: it was just a little bit more difficult than unsrewing e.g. a Corgi plane. There were two differences:

1. The bomb had to be removed carefully first in order to

2. gain acces to the front srew cover plate. This and the rear plate were (unfortunately) fixed with glue, but again I was lucky since I was able to remove them without damaging.

Next, the glue remnants had to be pealed out of the screw´s heads, otherwise You might slip off with Your mini-screwdriver.

The thing that HM meant to be the cockpit interior plate consists of plastic. It was no problem to cut the front and rear plate off and to insert the Italieri plate among them.

The rest (repaint and reassembly) was easy. Just a little trouble to make the pilots fit into the cockpit, but that was worth it.

Thanks for passing on the information, your end results look great.
 

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.
