Valkyrie Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Oh yes, this must be quite a big one when done. Are you going with the box art option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say no.The decals FUBAR due to age. I've been given the OK from the host to deviate from the regular Afrikakorps paint schemes. But still being plausible.

Brad Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Built this as a kid, always been looking for another one, although mine was the Battle of Britain boxing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I may have a set of decals from the 21st Century Toys kit. I'll have a look if they would be of use. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 First progress. This is a simple old kit.Not much detail to worry about and simple to build. Odd that Revell didn't incluide the iconic sirens 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be unusual .I will deviate from the normal Luftwaffe schemes. Being "debateble-plausible" Unlike in a theme-GB the paintscheme doesn't realy matter. In the end it will still be a Ju-87.

Erwin Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Hi all, 24 hours between each colour.First I did overall sand.Then the brown splinter pattern. Some random green patches. Underside light blue. Not a correct camouflage I know.But I like it. Edited January 18, 2020 by Erwin 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlemaster Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Works well . Looks like an early Luftwaffe scheme . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Yep, I agree with Alistair, looks like an early or pre war scheme. Should be quite striking when it's finished 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Why not, certainly different and look rather effective. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too keen on them myself, but that box art is so iconic, wrong... totally wrong, but it just puts you back in the late 60s wanting to build one, and I never have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'm with you. I hate snakes. Killed my fair share in the past. I think whoever put that on a side of a Stuka must have been mad. It's shouting shot me down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 What would our world be without the proverbial party pooper?! I LOVE SNAKES!!! And I have drooled liters in front of a model shop with this box in the window, when I was a kid!!! Then you did not wear a face mask, so drooling was made easy! I would have built it with the red snake, wrong as it may be!!! What a beauty of a plane!!! Well have fun anyway! JR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
