Ray Looks like aluminium with some plywood parts in a metal frame. The picture is of the G-2 at Hendon. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks particularly tenacious paint with minimal wear for an old airframe unless repainted. Note what appears to be RLM 02 on some on some of the side framing and Junkers favourite material - corrugated metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_W Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I am enjoying putting that latest Airfix 1/48 Ju-87 R-2 together. I know I am late to the party but it's a wonderful fit. Quick tip if you have not picked up on this one already. Don't glue those tailplane struts in till after painting. The fit is so good you can use them to get the tailplane position correct, without glue, then remove them for painting. Simplifies masking. In place for correct positioning. Removed for painting 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I have a problem working out the best paint to get to do my desert Stuka. I have MH Aqueous RLM 79 sandy brown. I think it is too dark. I'm after a RLM79 Sandy yellow I think. I like the lighter look you see in profiles. I think it is a faded sun bleached look. Would Mig sand gel be the right way to go?

Basilisk Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Only two weeks to go and great to see that there still had be some new entries My apology for my silence over the last two weeks, but I had to set up a home office and on top of that we started extending and renovating our house a month ago as an owner builder - and the timing sucks This unfortunately resulted in less time and less space for working on models, but at least I still have a job. Fortunately VP our co-host filled the void - at least he could have, but he left a long time ago I wonder what co-hosts are actually for???

Not to worry Peter, we have all had something else to worry about these last few weeks. 😷 On a different note, I was hoping that a Fujimi 1/72 Stuka would have been built in this GB, I had rummage tidy up of my stash and found 4 of them, a B, a D and 2 Gs. 2 weeks left on this GB.

Peter Lloyd Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I thought I might leave this here: Fred Gassit was an anarchist cartoon character who appeared each fortnight in Australian Motorcycle News for many years. It is not entirely pee-cee, and all the Gassits were put up on the net by their author, who was inspired by a mixture of Commando comics and 'People' magazine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Enzo, do you think we can get a few more days on this GB. I just stuffed the side walk panels on my desert build and might miss the end by a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Two more days to go and great to see all the new entries in the Gallery Unfortunately my builds both stalled (as is always the case) as I had to do some 1/1 scale modelling. As you can see, there is still a bit to do Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisk Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Nothing lasts for ever and this STGB is now history. Great to see that 32 models from 48 builds ended up in the Gallery which is a terrific outcome And everyone who didn't manage to finish in time, I hope you continue your builds and add them into the RFI section when done. I enjoyed hosting the GB and the variation of kits build from a range of manufacturers from nearly all the countries who flew the Stuka made it all worth while. I hope to have the Poll ready for voting soon. Thank you all. Cheers, Peter 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisk Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Thank you all for your kind words. The Poll is now available and will close on 17th of Mai.

MarkSH Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Evening all, I'd just like to reiterate my thanks to @Basilisk and co-hosts for an enjoyable and informative Group Build, I certainly got to learn a lot about the Ju87 through taking part. Thanks also to the other participants who produced some excellent builds. Cheers, Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
