Hi guys, I'm an armor guy at heart but my fave plane has always been the Stuka. I would like to build a larger scale kit (prefer 1/32) and would like some recommendations on the best kit and aftermarket accessories. I'm no stranger to working with PE or resin, but would prefer injection for the base kit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated by this lowly ground pounder.
Regards, Ed

Well Revell makes the Stuka in 1/32.Airfix has one in 1/24.(This is huge....)Forget Tamiya-like precision part fit on either offering.lot's of work there.Depending on how anal the goal with this,count on rescribing panel lines.Cockpit detail is crude/sketchy.Decals might not be in good shape.
Bright side is they are beautiful when finished and plenty of ref/tweaks and AM support areeasy at hand.
Armorama is good,but also check out Large Scale Planes website.Do a quick google as I don't have address handy.
Have fun

Hi Ed,
I have one--unopened, and also a big P/E set from Eduard.
Eduard Stuka P/E
I intend to start it ASAP--just like the other 100+/- kits I have!
