Bucker Bu-181

The Bu-181 was a German built light plane used for sport flying and training. During the war some were used in an offensive role as ground attack aircraft. This Bu-181 ground attacker is equipped with four Panzer-Faust anti-tank projectiles that were normally hand held weapons used by the army. Each wing has a Panzer-Faust mounted above and below. I built this Bu-181 from a WK Models 1:72 scale kit. The model was finished with paints from Gunze-Sango, Floquil and Tamiya. The decals came from the kit.
