Completed Trumpeter 1:32 Junkers Ju 87B-2 Stuka

Here is the start of the Stuka build.  

Toshi

My very first Tamiya tool and I love it.

I forgot to add, my next build after the Stuka is completed will be a Kitty Hawk 1:32 P-39 Airacobra.  I'm extremely excited as I've never built anything from Kitty Hawk nor have the chance to build a P-39!

Toshi

Toshi,

It looks like your off to another great build...I have always liked the Stuka. Please keep posting your build can't wait to see you finish it. And again, great job on that 109 and the photo shot was perfect.

Take care,

Hunter

Will be watching this, very very closely. Off to a good start. So, you are doing the winter white scheme, nice choice.

Just looked again and realised your not doing the white one, wrong unit

I do like the yellowed nose aircraft

Toshi is building a Stuka. Cool!

Have fun and I shall be watching.

I really must get one of these, my collection just is not complete without a 32nd 87B. But i would liek to get the revell kit as well to correct the shape issues on the Trump one. I just can't live with thos,e not on a Stuka.

But i have been looking closely at your sprue pics Toshi. I can see the one large bomb for the fuselage and the 4 small ones for the wings, is there another one that i can't spot.

Edit: Ok, never mind, i see what they have done. thats a lot of extra bombs.

When you get to the P-39, I have some pics of one in the collection in Madras.  Be happy to send them along to you.   Don't know how much help they will be.  Just PM me an email.

Nice start on this one

I too have always been fascinated by the Stuka. I have the Hasegawa 1/48 Ju87B2 in my stash and will, as usual, marvel at your WIP.

Someday I may feel I've amassed enough skill to actually post another of my aircraft builds on this forum but, in the meantime, you and the many other expert aircraft kit builders continue to provide me with intruction and inspiration while I eagerly view the progress of your builds.

There are half a dozen or so 87B-2 in eBay.  Check it out.  The kit allows the builder to choose between three types of bombs.

 

Toshi

 

Ye, i spotted the other bombs. At first i thought the middle ones, SC 250's, were the smaller SC 50's. I then saw all those smaller bombs. It looks like they give you 10 small ones and two of the middle ones. That lot would make for a nice dio.

Ye, i have seen the Trump kit a plenty. The Revell kits seem hard to find.

I'd love to see your Stuka build posted.  That would be great!  My builds are full of mistakes, my models as well as myself are no where near an experts build.  I started with a Monogram 1:48 P-61 Blackwidow, my very first build.  I knew I was way out of my league but, by continued posting, and feedback, I was able to grow as a modeler.  

I just looked back at that build and I shook my head, laughed, and gaped.  But I looked at my other builds and have seen the baby step progress that I've made in my humble opinion.

As you well know, our brothers and sisters here on this very forum are nothing short of a family.  As a family, I took in all critiques good and bad to the next level, to the best of my meager abilities.  I can wish you only the best and you have my undivided attention as well as my support.  So please don't feel like your build is not worthy enough to post.  As a new member, I should be as such.  Thank you so much 1943Mike for your support, read and replies as you just don't know how much it means to me!

Yes, the Trumpeter kits aplenty, I see no Revell 1:32 Stuka.  The only Revell/Monogram Stuka I see is the old 1:48 mold.  If you do see it, I would recommend that you immediately pull the trigger and purchase it.  

 

Toshi

 

There are the odd 21st Century kit around as well, and apparently that would work to. There is a correction set for the Trump kit, but its pricey and still needs detail added to match the Trump kit. 48th doesn't do it for me, i have enough 72nd Stuka's to keep me going and would just like to add a couple more 32nd and maybe another 24th to the collection.

So how are you getting on, i imagine you must have that engine wrapped up by now.

       Just wanted to say that I'm still following your builds, and I'm lovin it.

Here is the engine assembly, with this process done it's now time to AB.

Now that engine does lok nice. your a brave man fitting that all together before painting, i still can't understand how people can do that.

Not brave, just ignorant!  LOL!

 

 

Wel, i am sure you can pull it off. I did not even try that in 1/18th scale.

Toshi-  your P-39 pics are on the way.....along with a couple of teasers.  Edit your previous post and get rid of the email address in it.  Have you loaded in for any future pics you might want.

Can't wait to see the finished powerplant on this one.
