Junkers Ju 87 Stuka

Adrian Clarke Nice work!

Heico van der Heide Nice model, but perhaps your 'weathering' with the metal is a bit too much.

Holger Kranich Thats a nice one! Weathering is heavy but i like it, though!
And when i remember that its your first one after a break (like most modelers do), you can be proud!

Heico van der Heide Holger is right about that!

Nic Nilov Thanks for your comments! Heico, you are right about the too much metallic weathering. There is a story about how it came to be in my blog, and a moving one Check it out here Junkers Ju 87 B-2 Stuka |

Heico van der Heide I will, thank you.

Es-haq Khosravi Excellent job!

Nic Nilov Thanks!

Jens absolutely immaculate built, aged and painted
Congratulations

Mike K I think the weathering is perfect.

Marvin Reyes Very nicely done...I love the Scotties!

Marcin Pacyna Very nice Stuka. I like the weathering.

MRMLA Nice and impressive!

Bryn Crandell Super piece of work. Well done!

Alan Walsh That's a fantastic build Hayden

Stephan Ryll Very impressive work

gorbygould Wow, that's good!

Bart Goesaert super work....

Slavo Hazucha Rock-solid work on this one! A home-run through all the build-paint-weathering & dio bases!!

Hayden Scott-Williams Thanks so much guys. I'm looking at doing an updated 're-build' will a lot more detail going into it

Steffen Arndt So when i was nearing the completion of the Toryu I thought about this kit as it is really far progressed I still need to finish masking the camo but then it should be manageable in a few weeks. I will use most decals from the kit for my F1 + AC I only need to source a proper C (or I will rework the D to match it)

Sadly Bode's AC only has the standard camo. I really like the yellow theatre markings for the Balkan Campaign. I bought Squadrons canopy for the old Airfix Ju 87B/R kit for a replacement pilots hood...

Steffen Arndt After washing the model some more hours of masking fu and it is ready for a little more paint. First need to wait for the maskol to dry as i had to re-arrach the rear sliding hood

Steffen Arndt So the proof is in the pudding .. de-masking the kit went more or less well. I had some paint chipping and the PE parts and the lower side. I already repaired most of it for the picture. The RLM65 is from Jens Popp (JPS) which is a very nice bright color but does not stick very well. I guess the upper RLM71 was also from that range but I did the repair with Gunze, which looks o.k. Today I sprayed Gunze RLM70. The contrast is pretty strong but will be toned down with weathering and flat coat...

I had hoped to come out with out the ailerons breaking, but it was unavoidable in the end as the masking tape proved to be a bit stickier than the freshly applied tape

Steffen Arndt I have just reattached the control surfaces ... still more damage to these parts is likely

Steffen Arndt I airbrushed and attached the rudder and gave the whole model a gloss coat with Tamiya Clear acrylic

Steffen Arndt I started to apply the decals from the kit .. these were printed by Cartograf but are flat coated. Nonetheless they work flawlessly. I modified the D to a C to get Bode's Stuka from the french campaign.

Steffen Arndt I assembled ans painted the Quickboost propeller. I had to make a new propeller mount from interlocking brass tubes (Albion Alloys) as I broke the plastic one

Steffen Arndt After applying the final decals yesterday I gave the whole model another gloss coat this morning. Now I have applied a sludge wash on tzhe whole model. For better visibility I photographed the underside of the model

Es-haq Khosravi More pictures please? Looks great!

Nathan Dempsey Finally found this kit on eBay at a reasonable price!

Andy Ball Air Master MG17 and MG FF

Nils Steyaert finished

M S Thanks for the cool shots of the your build of this kit. I really like the canopy work and great splinter camo. The weathering of the wheels and underside where get touches. I hope you "win" your group build bet...haha. I would order a steak and beer

Alec K I'll take a seat for this build. Looks like Some liquid (cold liquid) courage is needed for this build...

komoras You have to deal somehow with the time pressure...

Alec K

Ken Kolenovsky Nice score Logan!

Logan Eden Good Morning, Ken Thanks Ken, the Main Branch of the Aberdeen Library open if you need to borrow it. Catch Ya, Logan

Dave Hill Consider this my application for a library card for that branch.

Logan Eden Good Evening, Dave Your application has been approved. We will not tell your Sis that you have a library card for a private held library vs. Public. Catch Ya, Logan

Chris Parsons Can anyone join or is that for the elite?

Ken Kolenovsky Well, thanks for calling us "elite", Chris, but we are not! We are a sort-of non-profit, privately funded grouping of like-minded individuals who happen to have copious amounts of detailed reference material. How's that for a mind-blowing sentence! Library cards are issued upon admittance from one or more of our members to specific branches. I believe you had one issued to you already from the Sutherland branch in Saskatoon. I think it came with a crap-load of 1/32 scale decals if I'm not mistaken. BTW, the Sutherland branch hasn't heard from you in a long time. Maybe there is something you may be interested in?!

Chris Parsons You've always got the coolest stuff; yes indeed! I am signed up for a group build over on Largescale planes where I'll be building a Bf 110G conversion night fighter starting June 1st, any help or suggestions on reference is appreciated

Ken Kolenovsky Well that should tide you over for now, Chris! Hope the items contain info you can use. I will check over some of my non-pdf references and see if there is something else you can use.

jesse lavers the fit, cleanliness and engineering on the new tool airfix kits is exceptional. just gave up on an eduard profipack bf 110f. at more than twice the price, it couldn't compare to the quality of the airfix kit.
happy to building again, without inventing new curse words.

AnnaYegorova Not really completed as I still need to paint the canopy, mark the panel lines and give an overall clear coat. But I might just leave it as it is. Also I'll put some dirt on the wheels and exhaustions.
This was my first model and as such I'm quite happy with the result. I clearly need to improve my painting technique but I'm not hoping to get professional results either (I hand-brushed using Tamiya acrylics).
Suggestions and comments are welcome specially regarding how to mark the panel lines (I got the Tamiya panel accent paint, but I'm not so sure how to apply it....should I apply it over a gloss varnish coat?)
