Default Building Snake Stuka II

After receiving all of the accesories that Ziroli offers for the stuka I decided to start cutting out the kit.I would like to thank the Zirolis for giving me the parts for the stuka.First I traced all the parts onto the wood and then I cut them out.Now I am ready to start building.

Hi Richard,

Glad to see your hard at it. I'll miss flying with you this year at Warbirds over Deleware, had a blast last year.
Good luck with her and hurry the heck up.

With lots of work left and very little time before Bomber Field I called my 11 year old daugthter
to help.To my amazement she can sand and epoxy the cloth very well.We accomplished fully covering the wing top and bottom plus all of the surfaces.

Looking at the second picture it looks like a West Systems can in the background. That's what I used when I glassed the tubes on my High Power rockets.
