Junkers Ju87B Stuka

[John Huggins]

Welcome again to my thread.

This is a 1:72 scale Ju87B, i will try to put a little more effort in this one as i was not very happy with my last effort (Heinkel 111).

I will sit down & think a bit more befor i start & hopfuly get a better finished product.

Which kit is this? I'll be building a Ju87B myself in 1/72 the not-too-distant future so I'll follow this with interest...

 

[John Huggins]

Hi matt & welcome,

This kit is not a very good one, lots of the parts are a very bad fit & need a lot of cleaning i've been told it must be & old kit judging by the tooling.

See pic.

Ok got to start some where so the engine would be a good place to start.

As this Stuka will be in for a service the engine bay will be left open, so i will need to tart it up a bit.

A good start John.I built a 1/48 Stuka last month.Wouldnt fancy masking the canopy on this 1/72 scale one!.

Ok started to put some detail in the cockpit, just got one or two bits left to put in then paint it.

Hi John you realy like doing the little fiddly bits dont you its great to see the work you put into these builds god knows what you could do with a 1/32 nd scale model plane keep up the good work

 

[John Huggins]

Thanks Papa for ur kind comment & yep i love doing the fiddly bit's,the engine gets the treatment next.

The oil cooler is missing at this scale so i will scratch build one + all the pipes for the rad.

[papa 695]

Great work on the engine John and im sure you will find something else to fiddle with

 

[John Huggins]

Trying to think of what camo to paint it im sick of green/green, might try desert como for a change.

John

 

[stona]

That detail looks good AND at 1/72. It must be a strain on the peepers!

Cheers

Steve

Got the primer on ready for the old spray shop, cut the canopy in 4 bits as the cockpit will be open.
