Hello dear friends,

Unfortunately, the red backplate assembly is not the right one. It's way too big. I confirmed with pictures from Google.

I'm looking for smaller red backplate as I see with Google and gas tank. I dont need the engine.

Thank's all

Yes, that is what some refer to as a "postage stamp backplate". The engine is what Cox called a 190 product engine, It was used on other planes besides the Stuka also. You should be able to locate one some where,
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

PM sent i will send the right one Sorry

I was probably too quick to write. I found the piece in my inventory.

During the summer I had the opportunity to collect and receive many parts. I had put all of this aside. I should have taken a better look at what I had before I wrote.
I still have to look at the gas tank to see if I have one or not.

Thank you to all those who read me, sorry for the inconvenience and merry Christmas to all.

Hello dear member,
The gas tank a friend give me, don't fit on my Stuka.

The problem;

The tank is too round for the fuselage, you see the day on the picture, see 1
I don't know on which Stuka it could go

The pin no 2 is directly on the tank 3, while the pin should be under the tank.

I really tried everything and finally after a search with Google, I saw.

Is it the right one? Find with Google .

Mine ;

I'll start a new post ; Wrong Stuka fuel tank ?

https://www.coxengineforum.com/t15851-wrong-stuka-fuel-tank

The installation of the engine is finished. A purchase from the member( as well as the yellow spindle) getback that I thank. The propeller was kindly provided by member dckrsn, thanks to you too.
I only need the right fuel tank.
I had to redo the engine mounts with epoxy,( red arrows) and Dremmel. The right part of the fuselage having been damaged, probably during a crash, by the previous owner.
The starting spring is clearly visible, although it should be hidden.

At the moment I only have the decals to put on. I have them.
I'm sure this Stuka will be able to fly one day even if it's not my intention for now.

Thank's for the link.
I'll let it go, I worked too hard and am very satisfied with my work and then, I have 2 other Stuka!

The finished Stuka with the decals installed.

Decals purchased from EX Model Engine suggested in this forum.
First time buying and I'm very satisfied with the quality of the product.

The only thing missing is the fuel tank.

Thank you all for your help

Well, that looks quite nice! It will look even better hanging from the ceiling with the noose down, looking like it's in a five! I need a set of those decals also.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
