Redboost Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi folks,something different from my usual liking, a snap together Zvezda kit. My build observations were just posted on VW website: http://www.valiantwingsmodelling.co.uk/junkers-ju-87b-2-794-p.asp Cheers Libor 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Would never have guessed a snap-together (although I hear that Zvezda's Bf 109 F is very good). I guess I'll have to reconsider my prejudices… ;-) Superb build and finish. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro Nezumi Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Very nice build! I wonder how this one will compare to Airfix's Stuka when it is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Very nice work with the paint job. I have been hearing a lot of good comments about snap together kits particularly the Bandai SW kits and Academy F-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_the_drummer Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Gosh - that looks absolutely fantastic! You'd never guess it was what - from preconceptions - may be quite a simple, basic kit. Beautiful finishing too - really like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 A stunning piece of work. Fantastic paint finish and an interesting scheme. One doesn't see Regia Aeronautica ones too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I like that. I didn't know Zvezda even did a Stuka, must have to look into getting one to use up some of my spare decals. Duncan B Edit: Nice review too Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Very nice indeed. As Steve and others have said you would never have guessed it's a quick build kit. Great result. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lloyd Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Looks great Libor, with just a few 'standard' improvements for the fine parts. Having built the 109F and been happy with it, I have to ask if there is any compromise in the canopy? On the 109, Zvezda had to mold on a large lug to make the kit 'snap together', and this shows through from the outside. It's not a bad problem, more like about the only problem.

Bigglesof266 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Looks every bit the predator. Very nice job all round Libor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks chaps for comments! Peter: The canopy has a lug under the windshield and it can't be seen if correctly assembled. On the rear there is a separate round panel that snapped on from inside together with the gun. The lug can be removed anyway, because fit od the canopy is close to perfect.

boom.boom Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Great picchiatello! Finish is outstanding!!! This and Ju-87 from 236`squadriglia (black raven in front a cloud) are my favorite stukas! Do You know who makes 1/48 decals for picchiatello?

I think Eagle Strike made a decal sheet back in their days and recently Eagle Cals seems to have one available. Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 These SnapFits are far better than on might think. I did the 190 A-4 and its a very nice kit too. Great job on this one. Did you use the gunze paints (70/71) straight from the bottle or did you change something? Or did Gunze change the formula? They have very little contrast which look very good to my opinion. The Gunze paints I have, have far more contrast and so I allways tone down the RLM 71 a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 I have actually mixed them a little, the RLM71 was toned down with few drops of RLM70 to get them closer. Cheers Libor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
