Dan, your work is excellent. The guns look awesome.

I know this is another Rudel crate but here's one done up in winter camo. I've always likes winter camo schemes. The source is Wingspallette ( WINGS PALETTE - Junkers Ju.87 Stuka - Germany (Nazi)) where there are several others. If you use any of these from Wingspallette though, do some more research to verify the schemes as many aren't accurate.

 

[lesofprimus]

Yea, Im familiar with Wings Pallette, lemme check there again and see if theres something worth researching....

Thanks...

Fw Josef Blümel, 5/SG-151, 10(Pz.)/SG-3 Ju 87G-2 Wk. Nr. 494231 (lost KIA).

KIA 19 September, 1944 on his second mission of the day, after destroying his 60th tank. After his G-2 was hit by machine gun fire, he crashed behind enemy lines near Kekava, 18 km south of Riga, S.U.. He and R/O Ogefr. Hermann Schwärzel were killed by Soviets, shot through the neck. Their bodies were found 3 days later by a search party by Stfkpt. Kuffner. Approximately 150 missions.

[Airframes]

Great job there Dan. The gun pod looks superb my man!

 

[Lucky13]

Forgot to add that Brother..... Excellent work!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks guys, I appreciate it...

Jan, sounds like a good one, do we have any other info on his crate, codes or maybe a picture???

 

[B-17engineer]

?? I found this with the SG-3 search

 

[lesofprimus]

Need alittle bit more Harrison.... Im lookin for a profile that I can either make up with existing decals or an aftermarket set....

Also, if it can be, a specific pilots plane rather than a generic one...

 

[lesofprimus]

Got to spraying some RLM65 on the underside, elevators and the landing gear today... First coat went on nice, so no real bad spots to worry about other than a leading edge seam and some small touchups....

Also got the radiator flaps done and ready to be glued in place...

One thing tho, I cant find a reference shot of what they normally looked like when open... All Ive got is some pics from a static display that even says the flap is open alot further than normally operated....

Any help on this guys, Ive searched and searched....

 

[109ROAMING]

Couldn't find any either , nice progress tho!

Daniel, there is no G-1 in the scan u posted up....

How I did that I will not know

 

[Heinz]

Looking good man!

 

[lesofprimus]

Here are the profiles of the two Stuka's for you Dan.

Pic 1 is the Ju 87G-1 of Verscuchskommando Für Panzerbekampfung (Experimental Detachment for Tank Combat) from April 1943

Pic 2 is the Ju 87-1 of 10(Pz). Staffel II/ Schlachtgeschwader 3 Jakobstadt in Latvia, 1944. Hope they will be of use to you

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Excellent job Dan!! Excellent!!

 

[Lucky13]

No luck as of yet Brother, keep looking though....

Edit: Here a pic of him though.....http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/aviation/best-tank-killer-ww2-continued-625-35.html

Edit 2: Found it! Ju 87G-2 (anti-tank equipped) Wk. Nr. 494231, S7+EN (lost 9/44)

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks Vic, but I believe both of those profiles are G-2's, as the wingtips suggest it....

Jan, if indeed the codes are right, we have his profile from Vic up above.... Now I just gotta figure out how to get/make decals for it.... I dont have the ability to make my own....

Dammit I hate this limiting constraints........

Great work tho guys!!!!!!!!! Jan, I couldnt find the pic of Fw Josef Blümel in that thread u linked up....
