Border Model - 1/35 Junker Ju87 G2

The crew have bailed out. But they both shut the canopy before leaping away. Both very considerate and daring!

Well done mate! Love the paint scheme and presentation 👌

@Trez: ....instead of ranting, build it and come up with your own innovative way of presenting it

Neuling
Very appealing paintwork and weathering

Alexander Grivonev
Fantastic 👍 I really like the scheme. Good execution and presentation!

Alan G
Very nice and innovative build. Really like the paint scheme. Could i ask where you found the paint scheme or is it a fictional one?

Trez Mackenzie
Awesome build my friend🤩 Don't let the insincere comments get you down. Brush aside those shills! I've seen this paint scheme on many publications so you have done your research! You rock!

Thanks for all the comment!

@Trez: I would love to have crews for my planes, but it's rare. Border Model doesn't give you one with this kit just a standing Rudel as extra and in general it's quite rare to get pilots and gunners. But I do like my planes in flight, so I rather have them in flight without crew, than on the ground. As I would call it "the sitting duck position".

@Alan G: It's a scheme found on the old 1/72 Matchbox kit. I did build that when I was a kid and I just felt like redoing it with this one.

RoguePlastic
@Trez: No offense taken.

Trez Mackenzie
@RoguePlastic: No offence given.

This is the problem with having 1/35 scale - there are very few if any seated pilots! So I can see why you have resorted to "the flying turkey pose". Nothing wrong with artistic flair👍

Alan G
Thanks for replying regarding the paint scheme. I'll have to try and find the unit and a picture of it now. I'd like to have a bash at doing this.

Trez Mackenzie
Well, don't let anyone stop you! Maybe you can get the matchbox kit for reference?

RoguePlastic
@Alan G: The paint scheme on the Matchbox kit is for a D3 version, so this build of mine is really an "artistic flare" as others would say. I haven't seen any images of this kind of camo on a G1/G2.
The reference on the Matchbox kit is JU 87/D3. 1/St.G2. "Immelmann" Russian Front 1943/44, with the id T6+BH.
Hope this helps finding it.

Nice work 👍

This pant scheme never existed but it's a great what if pilotless build!

But most kits are modelled sitting on an airfield - especially when there is no one flying it!

@Trez Mackenzie
Or was never photographed. We have no clue what camo schemas the ground crew applied on each and every airplane. Especially washable white, which we all know was just temporary.
The underlying camo paint is the default one though. So that existed.
Granted, the identification number is completely fabricated and has been applied wrong anyway. as the right side should've been the other way around and not mirrored.

On the other hand, I am tired to see yet another Rudel Stuka, so I did this.
It's like getting a flaming skull tattoo. You think you get something unique and then you see 10 other people having the same skull on the street.
