Valkyrie Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Reading the same book re tropical colours for my Stuka... Most Ju87s soldiered on in usual green scheme however the manufacturers provided tropical equipment for ac in this theatre and were heavily protected against corrosion... So from that I gather if my Stuka after Nov 41 was in Africa and had a tropical scheme, it would have had an RLM 66 cockpit. Its a good book but covers paints and theatres rather than types and times... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has the Oval grip done in resin so I will have to be very careful of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Unfortunately I think this project has dive bombed on me. Could not get the parts to fit and snapped most of them trying lol. Mojo doesn’t have it in me right now to correct a snap together kit, spoiled by Bandai I think and their fall together offerings. Did have another italeri to add but I think Stuka builds are just beyond my level after the previous two. Sorry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 The answer to snap-fits is to glue the kits like any others. The only way to get anywhere IMHO! Cheers. jr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you won't give up on your build. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 All stukas have been redeployed to the garage, I’m sure they will have their day but for now it’s on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
