Great to see this build, you have done it proud.. I have an Academy G in the stash waiting patiently. Good news I think is that the debates about the nose length have finally been settled by the Valiant Wings book on the Ju87. They've done the maths and concluded that a faulty length measurement made years ago has been endlessly repeated ever since by other writers and in fact the Academy kit is almost spot on. I always though it looked about right but now it's gone up the waiting list.

Great model! I failed when painting it. Military aircraft aircraft in Bulgaria had yellow identification lines until September 1944. Then, when the hostilities against the German troops began, they were replaced by white ones.

Thanks for the info Neil! I've never been much of a rivet-counter myself, but I'm glad that someone finally set the record straight. It's also amusing to me that a replica of a plane from one of the most well-documented events in human history has managed to generate two decades worth of Fudd Lore.
Thanks Neuling. I love your Thunderbolt/Han River diorama btw. The Korean War doesn't get nearly enough attention IMO.
Jivko, I know that feeling. Prior to building this kit I screwed up the paint job on a Panzer IV. Ausf G and the Zimmerit on a Panther Ausf. A. Thanks for the info on the yellow and white markings. I wasn't aware of what they referred to in the context of the Bulgarian Airforce. The yellow is especially interesting to me because I always equated it with Eastern Front service, although Bulgaria never invaded the Soviet Union. It might be because I'm incorrectly applying Luftwaffe logic to a non-German Airforce though. Also I've been using your unfinished Letov S.328 album as a visual guide to help me with my own build. 🙂

Album info
My second copy of this kit. Technically, third if we're counting the original Academy version that this kit is based off of. The additional parts provided by Special Hobby can introduce complications that I think prospective builders should be aware of so I will point these things out.
