Aftermarket addons: (leftover} Yahu harness (maybe)
My nomination for this GB is the Revell Ju87 D/G, which I intend to complete in the D configuration, painted to depict aircraft from either 10 (pz) St.G-3 Jakobstadt Lettland; July 1944 or Ju87D-3 of 4/St.G2 July 1944.
The revell kit is far from a new kit. Its biggest drawbacks are that it uses raised panel lines and the interior is best described as "spartan". The fujimi kit is considered far better in both these respects. It is an old kit , the original I believe dates back to 1975, perhaps older. In its favour it is well made, with no real fit issues, and updated decals. Clear parts are a bit chunky, but still reasonably clear.
My intention for this kit are to make a few detail changes where I can……I have some leftover harnesses from Yahu. I will try and improve the interior detailing a bit. I haven't decided yet whether to tackle the raised panel lines
Scott Aiken, in his build review of this kit describes it thus…."Though the kit was old, it built well. That is one of the major benefits of not having a ton of parts. In fact, I recall it building rather quickly. I did know that RLM 02 was a cockpit interior color and so that is what the interior was painted. You really cannot see much of it through the rather thick plastic, but again, this isn't a kit that the 'obsessed' will be building anyway!"
