The Stuka assembly line is open.
The first was the original request from Gianpolo that got me started, the Italian Stuka:
Regia Aeronautica Ju87D-3 with 216th Squadriglia, 121st Gruppo Autonomo Tuffatori – Capua (CE) in early August 1943
This one is almost finished.
I also remember someone asking for a Romanian one, and I happened to have a picture (and plate) of one:
Fortele Aeriene Regale ale Romaniei Ju87D-3 with Grupul 3 Bombardement, spring 1944
This one is very close.
It's a waste to do the panel lines and not do a German Stuka, so I found one that I liked:
D-3 of Obstit. Walter Siegel, Kommandeur of St.G 3, Egypt 1943
This one is fighting me due to the location of the skin splice, but is within a few weeks of being finished.
And the one I personally would fly most of the time:
NSG 9 D-3 W.Nr. 2600 (E8+GK) in 1944, this plate being a similar D-5
The Wellenmuster is driving me crazy, and I'm still looking for some good details for the grey underwing tiger stripes.
This one is probably well over a month away.
One that I would like to skin but is probably some form of skinner sacrilege is to redo the default skin.
This is one of the most colorful 87 skins, and would really benefit from being upgraded to 1024 from 256.
I could knock this one out in less than a week if I did nothing else.
I have also decided to not submit the co-belligerent Stuka, since regardless of how you argue its "captured" status it still clearly violates the spirit of the requirement.
