I am trying for a weathered look. I am applying several shades, in thin coats, generally trying to streak the colors in the direction of the airflow. I used colored pencils and chalk, also, to simulate dirt.

Painting in progress. This Stuka is going to be the Libya 1941 version with the snake emblem. I left out the green paint, where the snake will be, so that it doesn't show through.

The wing under surface color was printed with an inkjet printer.

I am covering the Stuka with domestic tissue to help prevent warping.

I thinned out the tail considerably to hopefully avoid adding nose weight.

Balsa of the kit was hard and cleanly die cut. This was perfect for what I wanted. The pieces mostly popped out and they made perfect templates for cutting out copies in contest balsa.

I used wire for the landing gear because I needed something that would not be easily damaged after landing on a hard gym floor.

I added some extra 1/32 stringers to give the fuselage a better shape.

On the fuselage, I thinned out most pieces and used 1/32 balsa for the rear bulkheads.

Note the large amount of rudder offset, mostly to counter the port wing's drag flap. There is also a fair amount of right and down thrust, working against the torque.

Not a Guillows Hurricane, but a scratch built one, about the same size. It is a little battered after years of flying and repairs. The port wing has a drag flap to keep it from spiralling to the left.

Doing well for the first session with flights around 40 sec.
