Hi Bish, 

Yes, the ailerons, not the dive brakes. :) Thank you for spotting that. 

You're right, they should have been separate. 

 

I have a question - what was the true material of the munition bin in the gunner's office? Airfix instructions show it as metal, the same color as the rest of the interior, but I've seen some pics with those made from canvas or something similar. Which is correct? 

Thanks in advance! 

 

Cheers, 

Nikola

O, nice, a Stuka, i'm in. It was a bit of a bad idea to mould those onto the airlerons in the first place (the dive brakes are under the wings towards the front).

Look forward to seeing this come along.

 

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Airfix 1/48 Ju87 B-1 Stuka, Condor Legion - Work in progress

Hi gents,

 

As there are only few steps left to completing my P-61, I thought I would slowly start a new build.

This time I picked Airfix's 1/48 Ju87 B-1 Stuka from the shelf and will be finishing it in Condor Legion markings.

 

As usual, I will be building it OOB, although I might add aftermarket seat belts or I will make them from scratch.

 

Again, I will be using my Complementary Pre-Shading method which I think was a success with my previous two builds.

 

As a result of Airfix packing all the sprues in one bag, two of the dive brake counterweights broke (pics below) so that's a good start. :)

 

 

Thanks for looking!

 

Best,

Nikola
