Armor modeler requestion info again. I want to recreate a scene in Africa during ww2. And in my preffered scale it will become too large for the house I live in. So I'm looking around at the smaller scales. Plus I'd like to keep it a bit low in costs.
My eye fell on the Ju-87 B Stuka and I found out that Revell does one at a very decent price. My question is: Is that kit any good detail wise and is it the right kit for the Africa campaign during ww2?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I normally built armor so with the rest of the vehicles in the diorama I know quite well what to purchase. But with aircraft I haven't got the faintest clue.

Looking forward to hear from you guys and gals.

The B (well, actually R) model Stuka is completely accurate for the desert campaign otherwise they wouldn't have been able to do this

The Revell kit is a re-issue of the Italeri, and is accurate for outline but lacking in interior detail. Cobra Company does a replacement cockpit which solves that minor problem.

@ Jessica
Thanks a lot for confirming that it is the right aircraft for the North Africa campaign. I saw that camo as well and is that a camo job that can be traced back to one specific pilot or were all the aircraft of that squadron painted like that.
In the picture I like to base my dio on the canopy is closed. The canopy is like a greenhouse so I guess even with the canopy closed I guess it still shows a lot of the innards right? That cobra company cockpit looks pretty good. The price is quite decent as well. But still I'm going to check if I can get it here in the netherlands or Europe as I don't look forward to buy that kit from the US with the ridiculous shipping costs they do nowadays.

As far as I know the only way to get Cobra Company kits is to order direct
There may be other detail sets available that I'm not aware of.

Hmmmm Not good news. The shipping costs will be nearly as much as the cockpit set. And have not yet been able to locate a cockpit from a different brand which is easier available here in Europe. I think I will break out the good ol' styrene and scratchbuilt some rudimentary details on the cockpit sidewalls. Found a built online from another modeler who did the same on this kit. I can use that as a guide.

just using your post!

What would be the best Stuka in 1/72 nowadays?
I love this snake scheme btw!
Cheers

The red parts of the snake are not accurate. Those areas should just be the camoflage showing through.
