1/72 Fujimi Winter Stuka

Friends of ARC, I'm here again this time with my 1/72 Fujimi Stuka.  It's a good kit with good details and only the transparency had some injection problems, but nothing impossible to correct.  I built it almost straight of the box, but made some changes in undercarriage as you can see in pics.  I made the fuse extensions on the bombs too.

As this plane was made as a Russian Front Stuka in winter period, I cut off the wheels protections because this was a common feature in these units to prevent freezing. 

Painting was done as a common Stuka (RLMs 70/71/76) and after that I made the white snow winter camouflage  with artists oils.  Weathering was done with Burnt umber oils.
