Ju87D-3 1/48 Hasegawa

GEEEZOW what a gorgeous build !  Ty for posting Mate.

Thanks for the kind words Jay Jay,appreciate you taking the time to comment.

It looks fantastic! You overcame the issues you had with flying colors. Great job!

Thank you kindly Bruce,much appreciated!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM, Stuka. Nice job TREY.

I am curious about what you said about the fit issues. There should not be any major differance between the versions that would use this airframe. From the D-1 to the G's, it was pretty much the same apart from extra armour. Could just be poor mouldings. Not good news as i am thinking of getting their 48th G-2.

Now, that there is one dandy of a Stuka. Excellent work Trey. Your splinter camo is especially well done. Appears to me that you overcame any fit issues brilliantly. Thanks for sharing your Stuka with us.

Razor saw! That's like major committment to the operating table . I can't see the scar.

Seriously, really fine work.

I'm not that familiar with the different kits of 1/48 Stukas. I have the Hase Ju87B-2 which I'll get to probably next year and, even if it doesn't have any issues, I'll be happy to have it turn out anywhere near as nice as your build.

Thanks Bish ,The front scoop was molded seperately and you can see how much filler it took on the pic with the interior. I figured that maybe there was a slight variation in that on another version of the D or G ? The upper fuse to forward cowl has a seperate panel with fit issues as well ,but do'nt see a need for it to be molded seperately? Real head scratcher for sure.

Joe ,Toshi thank you both for the compliments

Mike the thin ca glue wicked in to the cut so nice it was just a few swipes of sandpaper to blend it. Since there is a raised bit along the cut it worked to my advantage. Thanks for the kind words.

Given the issues are at the front, it sounds like the main fuselage is shared with the B kits.

That would be my geuss as well, sad because the rest of the kit is nicely done,rivet detal.panel lines ect.
