1/48 Revell Ju 87D8

After a two year hiatus from building, I decided to finish the Stuka I had started for a GB several years ago.  This is the venerable Revellogram Stuka that just about every model A/C builder has modeled at least once.  Since most modelers select the Rudel crate, I decided to depict the night intruder version, which was supposed to have operated in the final months of the war on the Western Front.  As a side note, since the office is a little sparse I thought it sporting to put the figures inside to fill the void.  Well, since I can't do figures to save my life, a sparse cockpit would have been preferable.

Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom.  Peace be with you.

Looks like a good basic, clean build. You've got the seams sanded well and your pilot doesn't look bad at all. The only thing that grabs my attention is the finish, which is a bit shiny. Other than that, I see no silvering in the decals and the antanae wire is nice and straight.

I think you've done a very good job on this kit. :)

All of the basic skills are represented here and you still seem to have them completely under your command. Two years away from the hobby and you haven't missed a step.  :)

Be proud of this build and keep moving forward. Enjoy every minute of it!  :D

You did a fantastic job on this build especially being away for two years.  It don't look like you've been away at all!

Brindos, thank you for your comments.  Not sure about the finish sheen, usually MM Dullcote does the trick but perhaps since it's been sitting for more than 2 years on shelf...not sure why it didn't "dull" better.

Toshi, thank you for your kind words.

Great job on one of my favorite planes. I remember I put mine in a display case and came back the next morning to find one of the landing struts had broken loose.  From what I can see you pilot looks great
