Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Same here on the schemes, I've built a few late D’s and G’s so I'm looking for an early Poland, Battle of Britain, or Russian front. That or a Desert version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an interesting marking option. On 1/2/2020 at 9:04 PM, Adam Poultney said: Well I've still not found an Airfix Ju87 in 1/72 anywhere.... So it's now down to a zvezda 1/72 or Airfix 1/48 I think... Indeed difficult to get in the UK, but not so in other parts of the world. But your suggested alternative will be great as well. 17 hours ago, jean said: Hi @Basilisk I have tried to ignore this GB for yonks, as I still work on the GB kits I enter centuries later... But the Gods have been unkind and blackmailed me into buying the Airfix 1/72 Ju 87 B-1... I did resist! ...for a short while... So I might as well be a total weakling and ask you to put my name on the list. It is not an original kit, but it is a lovely kit, and I know I will thoroughly enjoy what little I build!!! Cheers JR Good to see that you weren't successful in ignoring this GB. No need to put your name on the list as this GB is a go. 15 hours ago, JohnT said: Boys and Girls I am not sure if this has been noted before but I was having a few issues and a ponder in planning my build ahead of the starting gun. The cockpit was troubling me and I was searching the net for information. I came across theses references on WW2aircraft.net which are the original service and manuals in German plus other interesting stuff Lots of photos, diagrams of bits rarely if ever seen and if you need to have a wiring diagram for the electrics with voltages in German its all there plus a shed load of stuff I cant understand but I assume is not what the crew get to eat for breakfast. Looks like one booklet is on how to bomb up your own Stuka. Anyway have a butchers at this and any comments on what "stuff" is most welcome http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/other-mechanical-systems-tech/junkers-ju-87-manuals-5504.html#post476295 Lots of links from that thread Hope it helps some of you too John Great link John Indeed difficult to get pictures of the early (A/B/R) cockpits and your link had some nice information in that! 14 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: You and me both ? They must be getting ready to drop a new marking’s option as they're all dried up. Airfix tends to do that from what ive seen. 12 hours ago, Adam Poultney said: Same for the He111 I think. That seems to have vanished too... What I want is either Eastern front schemes with white camouflage or more desert schemes on both Looks like Airfix kit are now all "Limited Editions" Not long to go now.

reini Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) I acquired this 1/48 Stuka from my dad's stash and would like to join the fun: Rather tempted to go with the winter scheme - but on the other hand, I'm a fan of splinter type schemes. Hard choices! Edited January 3, 2020 by reini 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planecrazee Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'm in for this one - I've got a Revell 1/72 Ju87 B2/R2 that I've had in the stash for a while and this is the perfect opportunity to make a start on it. I'm also a big fan of the type and to date I don't have one built in my collection so really want to get this done 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we made it into the "Current Group Builds" and get going for good in less than a week. V-P kindly composed the rules page - so it looks we are all set Cheers, Peter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I just noticed this GB... and then I noted that I havn't had a Stuka at all... not even in the stash!! So not sure if I should change that... Probably I'd be most interested in a Legion condor one, or if that fails obe from the Stukaschule supposedly based in Graz? Any suggestions? I really do not have a lot of clue here... Is the Airfix kit worth it? 1/48 of course... Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I think I will go that route. And I think I need to do full splinter scheme anyway - as I would imagine the white paint didn't stay on very well and the original scheme would shine thru. Good opportunity to do some weathering, maybe play around with Vallejo Chipping medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
