I used the ailerons and flaps to get a bit of camber and, on the port wing, to provide wash-in to counter the torque.

I used a Peck prop instead of the kit prop, because I may need every advantage to get a good flight.

I haven't installed the 250kg bomb. I'll do this after the test flights.

Almost all of the insignia are made from tissue paper. It seems to stick well and not show a seam.

The canopy framework is covered with thins strips of tissue. I roughened the canopy with an exacto blade so that the glue would hold it well.

The small balsa disk in the nose is a removable nose block. I replaced the plastic manifolds with ones made from balsa because they seemed too thick and too round, and, more importantly, didn't fit in the snake's mouth.

The snake insignia is tissue printed with an ink jet printer.

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.
