Your praise be well appreciated dear chaps  . Guy, believe it or not, I used a very old jar of enamel Gold on there . It's from the ancient Revell Airbrush range which is very difficult to find now    |

It's stupid decal time  . These decals are a tad on the feckin' stupidly minuscule side . Two on the top row are a little off, but I don't care..... this is good enough for me   As you can see the fuselage is also joined up, I used Tamiya extra thin extra fast setting for this  . The front end got a tad super glue from the inside for extra stability |

Cheers chaps . I did some more today, the lower main wing, stabilizers and cowling have been fitted . I needed a very small bit of filler on the fuselage and around the cowling, but nothing compared to what is needed on some aircraft other kit makers   More soon dudes |

Ian R, cheers and yes your right, they have to be smallest decals I have ever had to use . But even so, they look better than the usual complete decal you get with most aircraft . Pete, cheers ole chap . Marco, thank you kindly too mucker . Well, as said here's a tad more . I have joined the top wing together, no problems there whatsoever . I then decided to do a dry fit, albeit without the cowling attachments, looks good so far .   I'll see how the cowling wing attachments fit shortly |

Marco, This is the grandfather of the Stuka ole chap. The Hs 123 was designed and built in the 30's. It went into active service in 1936, and was used in the Spanish civil war, mostly as a test bed for the Luftwaffe (known as Legion Condor). It was however still in service in the 40's and saw active service in Luftwaffe over Russia. I had known of this aircraft for a long time but it was only when Gaspatch released it, that I decided to get one. The only thing I regret about about this kit, is the fiddly PE and decals. All the rest is brilliant  . |

Well done Paul! Beautiful job so far. As for tiny decals; try some of the tiny decals on my small scale armor, especially license plates on some of the cars! Them decals be tiny!

Chaps, ta . I did a test fit of the cowling wing attachments today , I then decided to glue the lot together as the fit is bloody good . The struts are only glued to the top wing, struts in the lower wing are literally click fit. This will certainly make painting a lot easier, I can remove the upper wing and click back in after paint and weathering   |
