**** DONE: 1/48 Ju-87B-2 - Heavy Hitters II GB

[Airframes]

Good work Paul.

Thanks, gents!
The fit of this one is good, but there is one problem that I have found so far,...
The cockpit is off just slightly. I checked to make sure that I did not have it misaligned, but it is in the slots.
Just something to look for if anyone else builds this one.
It's not a big deal, but it is off.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looks good though Paul!

 

[meatloaf109]

Just couldn't resist adding a shot of the engine with some wing tightening.
(I love that engine!)

 

[A4K]

Man, that looks great Paul!

 

[rochie]

every reason to be pleased with that Paul

 

[Wurger]

Looking great ....

 

[Wayne Little]

That is looking great Paul....

That is coming together rather nicely Paul, well done.

 

[Airframes]

I agree with all, it's really looking the biz Paul, and a blind man on a galloping horse wouldn't notice that slight misalignment. (a 'Geordie' expression!)
I remember reading, in more than one build review, slight fit problems when aligning the engine and cowlings (although I doubt this would be a problem if the cowlings are left off.), so might be worthwhile doing some test-fitting when you reach that stage.

Looks great!

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far Paul!

 

[Crimea_River]

I like what you've done Paul and thanks for the heads up on the fit. Will watch for that.

 

[javlin]

That is looking really nice Paul

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That is a good engine Paul, shame if your thinking of locking it away. My first GB was the first Heavy Hitters with this machine and I couldn't find it in me to lock the engine away.

 

[meatloaf109]

Thanks all!
And Thanks Vic, I am still not sure how this one will be displayed. I have a history of losing parts that are not glued down. (And a few that were!)
Here's progress.

 

[A4K]

Great stuff mate, and I tend to agree with Vic.... maybe you could have one part of the cowl open to show, side panel maybe?

 

[Wayne Little]

One open is a good idea, best of both worlds....

 

[T Bolt]

Very cool looking Paul. Love that cockpit.

 

[Gnomey]

Looking good so far!
