Your Stuka looks amazing gorbygould! 😄 I really like the detailing with the extra pipes in the engine!

gorby
Thanks Camilla! The pipes probably aren't supposed to be copper coloured, but what the hell, I like the look of them.

Johan Fredrik Holst
Love IT! It's inspiring to see such good work🙂

Gary Brantley
Man, that is sweet gorby! I can't see a problem with your canopy, I struggle with those too ya know? Overall? A very nice Stuka for your collection! 👍

Murad ÖZER
Loved it! first the kit itself is a dog so i've heard, second those painted markings are surely making a huge difference, almost a game changer especially at the wx step. big huge kudos pulling that part properly, for my last attempt at painting those ended up not so....inspiring 😄

gorby
Thank you Johan, Gary & Murad! Jean Pierre has inspired me to try using the correct colours this time and I'm quite pleased with the result. Other than few issues with cowling fit, I think it's a good kit, which helped quite a lot with the end result. Unlike a lot of modellers on here, painting isn't my favourite part of the build, so I still find it a bit of a struggle.
You never know what to expect when you upload a build, so It's always a real boost when people take time to comment so, thanks again.

Michael Phillips
That is fantastic gorby! The engine in particular is awesome.

gorby
Thanks Michael! Good of you to comment.

Erik Leijdens
Fantastic result Gorbygould! 👍

gorby
Thanks very much Erik!

Camilla Øksenholt
Thats the attitude! 😄 I like the look of them too!

Spanjaard
you got yourself a beautiful mean stuka here gorby. i will keep this album as reference for mine 🙂
i got the tamiya rebox, that i got for a good price. i think it includes even the svastikas.... in a separate sheet

Spanjaard
they are illegal in germany, i did not know also in italy....

gorby
Thank you Camilla and Spanjaard!
Spanjaard: No I wasn't aware that swastikas were forbidden in Italy until I went looking for a reason why they weren't included. I found that they are banned in Germany (which I knew about), Italy, Israel, France & Hungary.
Rather than use mine as an example, I would advise you to cut out the middle man and look at Roland Sachsenhofer's Ju-87 build, at least for the cannon – that is what I used for reference. Also, looking at Roland's albums are an education and a pleasure in itself.

Christian Bruer
Excellent work and finish 👍

David Thor
Great job, love it!

Artem Burkin
Nice paint work, it's wonderful kit & whole job was done excellent. I have the same in stash, will look at your model when will make one.

Choppa Nutta
nice ! 🙂

gorby
Thank you very much for your comments Christian, David, Artem and Choppa!

Spanjaard
thanks for the info, gorbygoud, i guess you mean Junkers Ju 87-G2 "Kanonenvogel"- Doppelpack | Album by Roland (1:32) , true, it is a realy good one. but i still also like yours 🙂

gorby
Many thanks again Spanjaard. 🙂
I've just realised that I forgot to add a photo to the album. I wanted to include it because it shows the most difficult/fiddly part of the build...

Cristian Bordina
It's a really masterpiece!! Congrats Gorby!!

Wilfried Bogaerts
Very nice result Gorbygould, an eyecatcher ! 👍

gorby
Thank you very much Cristian and Wilfried! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Gary Brantley
gorby, how did you paint the instrument panel? It, and the rest of the 'pit look great! 🙂

Bart Goesaert
looks very good... on the second picture, is this a before and after? is this with only varnish applied? or also some filters?

gorby
I can't take credit for the instrument dials Gary, I used decals behind the photo etch. The rest of the pit is just out of the box.
Thanks Bart: The second pic is just to show my experiment in faded paintwork. I did a significantly lighter colour undercoat (bottom left) and then, after preshading I lightly sprayed the final colours. I have just superimposed the final result (top right) over the work in progress to show the difference in the colours for undercoat and topcoat.

Moritz Fentzahn
Very nice stuka, well done mate

gorby
Thanks Moritz! I'm following your tractor build with interest. 🙂

Neil Page
yes, like that a lot! Must do a base like that too...coffee stirrers?

Aron Lenner
Look nice! As I remember all Stuka was equiped with a wooden prop.

gorby
Thank you for your comments. 🙂
Neil: I didn't use coffee stirrers, but they would probably do just as well. A few years ago I built a dolls house for my step daughter, and in some of the rooms I laid 1/12 scale wooden floorboards. I miscalculated, and over-ordered, which was annoying at the time, but I've used them in loads of other things since. I just darkened them with a brown oil wash.

I didn't know that Aron, my, probably less than intensive research (about an hour on Google images) didn't reveal that information.😉

Chris R.
I like your Stuka, great work!

gorby
Thanks Von Drinkoften and Chris! nice of you to comment. 🙂

Gustavo Antonelli
Excellent bird, one of the Hans-Ulrich Rudel's stukas! @Aron, I think the A-0 had a Hamilton metallic three blade propeller.

gorby
Thank you very much Gustavo! 🙂

Chen Pan
Great work! I like the details of the Cannons and the effect of the spraying cross mark.

Eugen P.
Very nice canopener 👍

Bart Teunis

Jens R.

Neuling
Superb paint work and detailing!

gorby
Thanks everyone for your nice comments. 🙂
I'm surprised this one has cropped up again from the dim distant past. Mind you, with a memory like mine anything before breakfast is the dim distant past. 😄
