    1/48 Hasegawa JU87-R2 (but might be a B2) Stuka

    in Work in Progress - Aircraft

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    So this will be my next build hasegawa's 1/48 JU87-R2 which I believe is a extended range version of the B2 the only difference being two external fuel tanks. If that's not true then please correct me because I'm thinking of just doing a B2. The reason being because the 1994 decals don't look great and there's more options for B2 schemes.

    If anyone has some desert or winter schemes that are a bit different that they could share images of I would be most grateful so am open to suggestions.

    The kit looks ok I know there are some issues with the flap mass balancers or arms (one of the two) so am ready for that, and I will be showing it with the Aires resin engine and cockpit set which looks nice, there will no doubt be a bit of scratch and may even open it up a bit more but we'll see.

    It won't be a quick one I dare say.

    Thanks for looking.

    Phil

    Hi corsaircorp

     

    Thanks for the comment and the sharksmouth was my first attempt at a detailed cut out thus bypassing the decal.

    I followed the instructions and glued the the two halves of the tail together first and then glued to the two halves of the fuselage if I was you (and if I did it again) I would probably try cutting off the locating nodules laying the halves down flat and gluing them together first so you end up with a more commonly seen complete two halves...

    If that makes sense. 🤔

    great looking P-40.

    Your painting skills are awesome! Beautiful!!!

    I only ever built the exceedingly old tool Revell in 1/72 when I was a youngster, and I loved it!

    Just bought last week the Academy 1/72 P-40E. So your RFI arrives in the nick of time to show me I was right to get this kit I have anted for so long!

    Congratulations!
