chris148 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Good afternoon everyone,time for the latest finished build. Here we have the Airfix 1/8 JU87 Stuka.Built purely out uf the box,no extras.As usual painted with the hairy stick with standard humbrol enamels. Found it to be a good fitting,enjoyable kit to build with no major issues.Can't help thinking there should be a swastika on the tail or at least something. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Looks great, have mine on the go. Stalled at getting the nose on, it's then too big to fit in any of my containers. Nice painting with a hairy stick too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eng Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Beautifully painted and finished! I'd struggle to get a finish like that with an airbrush. Cant wait to have a go at the one I've got in the stash. Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propforward Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 That's brush painted? You have some skillz! The finish is excellent - really makes me want to start my own Stuka. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie(kinda) Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Superb. Looks like a lovely kit and your paintwork is excellent. But, you're right, a tail that big NEEDS a swastika...aftermarket? Go on, you know it'll be worth it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Great build but as others have said it definitely needs that swastika. Martian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamiltonian Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Nice Stuka. If you plan to build a lot of German aircraft from this period, an after-market sheet of swastikas in assorted sizes and styles is probably worth the investment, since so many kit manufacturers have now stopped including swastikas on their decal sheets - presumably because their display is illegal under some circumstances in certain countries. (AFAIK, accurate historical models would fall outside the area of application of these laws, but I guess many kit manufacturers would rather steer clear of the whole issue.)

Michael51 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 That is a beauty. And a remarkably steady hand on the cockpit paintwork in particular. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
