Basilisk Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 With a bit more room here, I was thinking about suitable types for a STGB. One aircarft type which crossed my mind was the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka. There are great kits out there in all the scales and an upcoming new release from Airfix in 1/48 and I couldn't see it listed in the completed GB listing, so it looks like it was never done before. Also the type flew from the Spanish Civil War up to the end of WWII and was operated in many different colour schemes by all the Axis Air Forces plus captured examples. And with its 3.7 cm canons, it was the closest thing to a flying tank. Any takers to put the name on the list? 1. Basilisk (Host) 2. Arniec 3. Caerbannog 4. jrlx 5. SimonT 6. Knight_Flyer 7. John 8.

Arniec Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yep, got a few in the stash. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Strange subject for me. From my point of view it is buttugly, has poor performance, from the completely wrong operator. I cannot say I like it but for some strange reason I think it is an interesting aircraft and even I got one in stash: 1:48, Revell box, Verlinden update set and replacement decals from Topcolours. So yes - I would be interested :-) René 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Count me in. I still have to buy one but this GB would be a good excuse Also, I've always had a fascination for the Stuka. Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Count me in, I have a hasegawa tank buster plus I want to convert a C to naval and have the wings folded and torpedo underneath! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yes, me in as well. Academy Stuka kit in stash... definitely need to build that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I've been fascinated by the Stuka since my dad took me to see The Battle of Britain way back in 1969, so I'm up for this too. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 After all, I already have Academy's1/72 Stuka "Kanonenvogel" in the stash. Anyway, I've been eyeing Airfix's 1/72 new tool and Tamyia's Stukas. Any opinions on these? Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I have been trying very hard to ignore this. Signing up for a GB in 2018 when its not even '17 yet?!? yeah count me in. I have a few kits now; probably still have them to build in '18 at the rate I'm building at right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tamiyas are reboxings of another manufacturer, I can't remember which. Cheers Greg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find amazing is that the type managed to solder on until the end of WWII and finding niches it actually didn't too bad . 13 hours ago, SimonT said: Count me in, I have a hasegawa tank buster plus I want to convert a C to naval and have the wings folded and torpedo underneath!

modelling minion Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I've got a couple of Stuka's in the stash and will no doubt be adding Airfix's latest offering when it becomes available, which will have to be Spanish. In fact don't expect anything Luftwaffe as my last Stuka was Yugoslav and the others in my stash will be Italian and Hungarian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Welcome aboard modelling minion. Other colour schemes than Luftwaffe look great on the Stuka. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Go on then.....I'll play. 1/72 D or G for me.....Plenty in the stash to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Your in Sgt. Thanks for joining. With the new Airfix Stuka out now, there should be a bit more interest for the type and this GB. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've missed this but would like to join. I hope the Airfix 1/48 B-2 is out in time as I'd really like to do a non-Luftwaffe one. I need to see if anybody else got B-1s I suppose. Hmm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a bit of luck we may get the list of 25 together bu 2020, so you should be fine with a B-2. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 I think this deserves a bump. This could be THE opportunity for all your "in-flight" builders to make an aircraft with an undercarriage This IS a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Valkyrie Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I’d do a Stuka, new airfix, Russian Campaign....dirty white 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Im thinking of a night raiding stuka on the Eastern front with the long exhausts and blacked out markings. So go ahead count me in 👍 PS - Since I built the night Raider for the Mediterranean group build. I will do either a B.o.B. Stuka, desert stuka, or an eastern front stuka in whitewash.

jrlx Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Since I've signed in to the list I've purchased two Airfix Stukas: the BoB boxing and the latest boxing with the desert scheme. So, I have now three options to choose from Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
