StevieD Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Does anyone have the 60s poly-bagged Stuka with paper header? If you have I'd like to know what the text is that describes the Stuka. The reason is I'm writing a book about my father (who was Polish) and part of that involves how I learned about the war from making kits and comics. Even when very young I sensed it must have been very odd for him to watch me dive bombing the living room carpet when he'd been terrorized by the real thing. Thanks for any help 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Like this one on Ebay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1959-airfix-1-72-junkers-ju-87b-stuka-vintage-bagged-kit-unopened-type-1-header/152873156497?hash=item2397f33f91 or like this, which I think has the same text on the back: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-1960s-airfix-bagged-stuka-476070142 Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goggsy Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 That’s an interesting backstory, did you ever talk to him about what he thought of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieD Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 That's it great! I just couldn't remember if it mentioned Poland or not. Thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieD Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 googsy He never talked about Poland or the war. You just knew when you were little that you shouldn't ask questions - although I did. He had a lot of Polish friends and they worked down the mines. The thing that stays with me is seeing them sitting round the fire talking in Polish. Although I couldn't understand the language, I've never seen men show such anger or despair as when they talked about the Russians. If anyone had seen the Devil then they had - I could feel it. I understand now of course - but as a kid in the 60s the war was about Britain v Germany and the Russians didn't really come into it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaddad Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If you check out Simons first link you can zoom the back of the header & read it quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
