Two Aircraft.

Now that I finally get some more time on my hands because it ain't that crazy at my work any-more I can start posting again and also start on several of my FoW projects.
But first I have pictures of two aircraft that I got my hands on a couple of weeks ago.
First there is the P-40 Warhawk. This aircraft can be used with my US Airborne when I use them for Mid War. The aircraft is already painted and as it is painted at a nice level I see no reason to repaint it.

P-40 Warhawk
The second aircraft is a JU87 Stuka. This aircraft can be used in my Mid War DAK army. It can be assembled as a Stuka D (bombs) or Stuka G (Cannons). I probably go for the Stuka G option.
This aircraft isn't painted, it only has a base colour of SP04 German Armour (mid/late) or SP06 German Armour (desert) both spray-cans. I am not sure which one it is but I think it is the latter. Now I hope I can find a Vallejo colour that matches the base colour because some parts aren't painted. And of course find a nice camo colour and pattern.

News from the painting front is that there is no news. I am in a painting dip. Somehow I can't get myself motivated to do some painting.
