1/48 Ju 87D - Winter War / Eastern War WWII

[Wurger]

Whatever you do Don, can't go wrong with a Ju 87, it's one of those aircraft that pulls at your heart strings.

Agreed.

 

[Wurger]

Thinking the same thing, Wojtek though the Hungary version looks very cool.

Geo

Yep.

 

[Donivanp]

Then it is agreed, Thank you Gentlemen, It seems we are all Hungary. ..... Ar Ar Ar Ar

 

[Donivanp]

Thanks that IS GREAT INFO. the monogram IS diffidently A D-5/D-8. It has inputs for both. and the fame suppressor for the engine.

 

[Donivanp]

Well everyone better duck and run for cover. I can't deal with this cockpit as is in this kit. There are no aftermarket one for the kit and I can't afford one any way so Here comes the sheet stock and knife and file. Not sure where this is going but we'll find out. I pulled out a Hasegawa Ju 87R-2 kit to help template and layout with so here goes nothing.

This should be fun (and informative) to watch! Looking forward to some serious scratchbuilding!

 

[Donivanp]

Well I have not forgotten the Stuka but I may not be doing as much as originally planed. Time is the issue. For it age an all it is a really nice kit but needs some updated life breathed into it here and there. Clean fit and pretty much fuss less put together. Nice instrument panel. I like it but have not rivet counted it. Just some thing fun to build and kill time.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good though.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

Good stuff Don. Oh and by the way, I see an empty spot on your workbench....

Good stuff Don. Oh and by the way, I see an empty spot on your workbench....

Damnit, Andy! I was gonna claim that spot! Had my flag all set to go too.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Never mind the empty spot, where the bl00dy hell'$ the plane!!!!!!!!!!!!

…………………………………………..Ahhh, think I found it…………….would that be it next to the sprue cutters!

 

[dneid]

Vic, you do know Don found a family of 4 living on the back of the work bench for the last several years?

 

[Wayne Little]

Only 4 ?

 

[Donivanp]

Did not, it was 8.

 

[dneid]

Oh, the extended members snuck in?

 

[Wayne Little]

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Think of all that back rent you can claim for more models.

 

[Donivanp]

Well IL is in the done bin so I'll work on this over the next week or two. May have more time then I want on my hands as it is. I shot the Hungarian colors on the tail and rudder. I did not really want to use them but Testor Enamels were the right colors for it so that's what I used. After getting away from enamels for a while it near killed me to use them Gawd the smell is bad. I then painted the Mr. Surfacer 500 on it after wards and lightly sanded that as I did not wish to mess up the raised panel lines too much. Gawd that stuff stinks almost as bad as the enamels.

 

[Wayne Little]

Not a fan of the smell either...
