So you thought the Stuka was in a bad way? This Sturmovik appeared to have been painted using poster paint - much of which was flaking off. Having decided to save it I decided to encourage the rest of the paint to flake off. While this was largely successful the resulting surface might have fallen below even 1941 Soviet quality control standards.
Undaunted I carried on with two coats of white which more or less covered the wreckage, even if it does look like it's been applied by a drunken Soviet squaddie using a broom.

Heck that’s definitely up to Lada quality control standards. But no clever alliteration? Stinky Sturmovik Salvage?
"applied by a drunken Soviet squaddie using a broom" ... is absolutely correct, Tim. The wash was supposed to be applied thinly and flaked off easily. Pilots complained that it knocked a few Ks of the top speed when applied too thickly, but I suspect that you knew that already :-)

There was only one s-word in my mind. And it wasn't Sturmovik!

Just goes to prove how realistic this model is!
Simon
Disturbingly close to the truth!
