Finally completed Hasegawa's Ju-87B Stuka in an interesting trop scheme.

Using Aeromaster Acrylics, 70/71/65 Luftwaffe splinter scheme, with an Italian desert Light Tan over the standard scheme. Only aftermarket bits used was Eduard's seatbelts and the decals.

This was an enjoyable build. Just a little hiccup around the nose area, otherwise a straight forward kit out of the box.


Had a tad bit of the clumsies by not being careful with the antenna mast and the rear defensive gun. (replaced the gun). Last bit of detail is a set of Moskit exhausts which will replace the kit items.

Hi there Chuck

I've tried to re-post your pics. I can see them now, but I'm not sure if they show for everyone else (could be they're in my browser's "memory"...).

Anyway, the Ju 87 looks really tasty! :-) Nice job on the amouflage scheme. :-) I think a little more weathering with pastels would look neat - the conditions in the desert were pretty harsh.

What were the Moskits exhausts like to use? I've never tried them.

Your mishaps aren't quite over... it looks like you bent a prop-blade during the photo session...

All the best

Nice looking Stuka. I like very much the camo paint, nice soft edges between colours. What paints did you use ? A little detail: one of the antenas of the underside fuselage is lost and the one in the cannopy seems to have the tip broken. You can fix that easely. Nice job.

Congrats.

You guys are sharp. Yes I've sinced fixed the blade, it popped loose when I was not paying attention when placing it on the deck for the bottom view while shooting the images.
The lower antenna is now a resident of the carpet. They were very easy to use in regard to the moskit exhaust for this kit. Funny how a small detail item can really enhance a finished model. In regard to the weathering I read that this particular aircraft did not live long enough to see much of the harsh climate and conditions of N. Africa. Though now for the life of me and can't seem to find that particular article. I hate that!
