Stuka - TLC repairs...

 Found in a box of distressed 1/72 die-cast model planes in a local charity shop - a Stuka, missing one of its dive flaps and propeller blades. I thought it would be a nice item to add to an airfield game, it can also take to the air on a suitable stand.

dive flap replaced with pice of thin cardboard..

propeller blades replaced using some metal 28mm swords, not quite the right shape but Ok for a game piece...
Painting done and a coat of satin varnish .... ready for an outing on the game table ....
