Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann / SK 25

 

Weekend Edition… 

Another ”ginger bread” plane with some flesh and poor moulding 

Under all flesh and some sanding the fitting seems very promising, a hidden gem? 

Canopy sorted! Fine grit sanding, tooth paste as polish compund & some elbow grease did the trick. 

Ready for paint after some hours of canopy fitting and rescribing. 

Wings painted after some primer and detailing. 

Next step, details, decals and weathering 

Final detailing in progress 

 

Decals, take two… 

Final stretch, waiting for some matt varnish.
