Ju 87B first old age build


Recommended Posts

This is the second build I did after I returned to NZ. Compared to my Hs 123 it is far better.  This one I went through four decal sets before I was able to 

place them. This is where my tremor is a problem. It depends on the decals if I can get them on. This set worked real well.  By the way I leave the pitot head off

because it won't last long with me handling it. I might do a wire version one day. I have kept it quite clean as I didn't want to tempt fate at the time.

Beautiful job.

 

What kit & scale is it?

The kit was a Tamiya and the scale 1/48.

Thanks everyone for you kind comments.

I realised I haven't put the aerial on it yet. I have EZline now so I must do it. Once I get some of that horrible CA. kicker.

The kit is the Tamiya rebox of the Italeri kit, not a Tamiya original.

Very crisp work Greg, :goodjob:

That’s really lovely Greg. I’m no Luftwaffe colour guru, however all to often I see German aircraft painted in really dark colours, but yours looks to be spot on. Good to see one on the board my friend. 

 

Cheers and well modelled..  Dave

Very neat build Greg, looks the biz.

I'm finding as I'm a couple of years off my 60th I'm starting to loose a little steadiness at times, but you've just gotta get on with it!

 

:goodjob:

Lovely job Greg.

 

Modelling is a lot harder as we get older, I speak from experience, but it is a nice pastime that you can take up or drop at will.

 

Wish I had your skill though.

Very nice work .What paints did you use ?I am finishing off the old Airfix 1/48 Ju7B ,used Xtracrylix RLM 70 &71 ,but i found them difficult to tell apart so i did the North

African Version.

The Paints are Aqueoue Hobby color H65 and H64 the bottom is H67. I do think H67 is ok for big planes, but not for the Bf 109. It is to dark and is on the grey side. It looks ok on the Stuka.
