Be hopefully getting this to go with my Airfix one. Currently unaffordable so I'll wait & see if the price drops a bit!! Maybe a few hints to my partner to put this on her Crimbo shopping list!!

Ok, bought the Anton, now need the Gustav! I know the Anton has a few issues that were scaled up from the 1/32 kit, and the Ju-87B had some serious problems with the nose (I see a 1/24 Ju-87B is now in the catalogue), but how was the D and G in 1/32? Any problems seem to be inherited from the 1/32 kits.

Why do they show the G tank hunter carrying bombs next to the cannons? Is that a configuration I'm not aware of?

Bombs ? I think thats an optical illusion. Its the wheel spats youre seeing from below ? Otherwise all Stuka’s could carry bombs on the wing racks.

After reading a bit, the G could carry bombs but had no dive breaks. But Trumpeter included in the painting guide the bombs and the cannons, something I believe wasn't carried at the same time.

Oh blimey! Another big Stuka! If they've scaled up the issues with the 1/32 kit, then there's going to be a lot of fixing to do. The Anton was ok as the fixes are fairly easy, but the B model could be a lot of work. Then again, cross kitting with the Airfix kit may supply the required fixes, especially with the very undersized nose. It will be interesting to see what get's released.
