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

Very appealing paintwork and weathering

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👍

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?

@ SMey:…I do have the kit but it's some way down on my building queue. I doubt it will be innovative as I would rather the conventional crew in plane whilst flying or plane on ground, canopy open scenario. Not sure about the rant though? I'm in very high spirits!

@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 👍
