Arniec Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi guys, I will be building a 1/48 Hasegawa Ju-87R-2. It will be build almost staight from the box. There is a extra set of decals to make it a Italian Stuka. These will come from a old Eagle Strike sheet. I will put up some pictures later.

modelling minion Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Good to see an Italian Stuka being added to the list Arnie as they were a very important user of the type, looks like we're slowly adding different nationalities to the GB list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Craig. I wanted to do a Stuka for a groupsbuild of my own club. They have this year as a theme "Malta" . So this will be the first of five models to be build for that. I have also got a Macchi Mc.202, Fiat Cr.42, Messerschmitt Me-109E7 and a Mosquito NF.II to build. They will all be build almost out of the box. I hope I can finish them all before the Telford show in November 12 hours ago, Basilisk said: Sounds good. I wish you have an enjoyable build. Cheers, Peter Thanks Peter.

I shall have to look out for your club display, will you be in the International section? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have build the D5 version of Hasegawa ones. It is a lovely kit. Good luck with your build as well. Hi guys, Here are some pictures of the kit. The box front And the content And this will be the Italian version I will build from the Eagle strike decals sheet. It is not very differen from a German version, but the decals will make the difference. Cheers, 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hi guys, I have made a start with the build yesterday. As it will be build out of the box it will proceed swiftly. Here are two pictures of the cockpit before painting. And here painted with RLM02 from tamiya by hand. It was given a dark wash and detail painting. I forgot to take some pictures before I closed the fuselage. And here is the instrument panel. It will be fitted later. I also made whe wings up and the engine. And that is it for now.

Mottlemaster Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Looking good . I think the cockpits painted in RLM 02 are much easier to pop the detail out than the darker grey where the detail can get hidden in the shadows .I allways paint the ammo droms the darker grey as never seen them in 02 Cheers Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Alistair, you are right. It is easier to RLM02 than RLM66. but for 66 I always use a dark wash and then high light the rest with some light dry brushing to get more depth. It is old fashion, but works fine for me. Cheers, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I couldn’t definitively research my Stuka tub colour so it got 66 with detail picked out in 02, I thought it worked really well...IMHO EIIDSSMS Love the effect your ip has, looks great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a order that all the clear visible cockpit parts should be painted dark grey (RLM66) I think it was somewhere in 1940. but I think that all parts stock were used up before they used the new ones. I know that the D vesion in Hendon have a RLM66 interior. I painted my model per instructions from Hasegawa. I know it doesn't help much.

Arniec Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hi guys, Here are some more pictures of the model. I have cleaned up the seams and mated the fuselage with the wings. And this is how far she is now. I have put on the Wheel shoes and also made the propeller ready. It was just placed here for the picture. I also made the bombs up. I am using the SC50 bombs on the wings instead of the fuel tanks. As the tanks were just used for long range missions. Cheers, 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Hi Guys, It has taken me two months before the next update. I have been bussy with work that got in the way. But here it is. I have done some painting the last few days. Now on to the pictures. I painted the white band first and after it was dry I masked it. Then I painted the underside with RLM65 from Gunze. With that done I free hand painted the crosses out Then I started the masking of the canopies. It took me some time. This was first painted RLM02 Before I painted the firtst top color RLM71 This had to dry for a day. And today I masked it of And this is the result after removing the masking That is it for now Cheers, Edited March 22, 2020 by Arniec 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi Guys, again a update. I have some pictures of the model after the decals went on. After I gave it a klear coat and a wash It was made dull and today I have finished it. Here is a teaser, the rest will go in the Gallery. I also finished this Macchi 202 for this project. Both are Hasegawa models Cheers, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
