Sweet build mate 8)

Pictures of Stuka's with cowls off seem to be hard to find!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Been hard at it today, fitting, filing and cussing but at last we've got started.

Pics as below:

Still hunting for open or removed engine cowling, have seen one on another model that's broken down into five pieces, a top and bottom, with a left and right middle panel and one other, but the detail is not very clear.

Nice work so far Vic. I haven't been able to find any pics of the open cowlings I'm afraid, but I think there was one posted a few months ago in the modelling threads - can't remember who's though!

Thanks guys!!!

 

[dirkpitt289]

Keep the pictures coming I want to see more

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thank Paul for a GREAT picture and please forgive the delay, I'm sneaking forum time with a house full of overseas visitors which has put the model building on hold for a few days.

What I'm hoping to do with this build is show the engine totally exposed and the various cowlings scattered about. I've no idea how the cowling should fit but have outlined what I think could a way they are positioned. How close am I??.........Comments or thoughts are very welcome and would be much appreciated.

Great work there guys!
Vic, I'm not sure, but I seem to think that the upper cowlings on the JU87D and G were hinged, like the Bf109F onwards. The early versions had removable cowlings as shown in the last pic posted. I'm still looking, as I think I might have a pic somewhere.
