                        NEW GROUP BUILD: Achtung Stüka!
                        Posted by jkelleycrna on Sunday, January 23, 2005 7:57 AM
                        Hi All,

                        here´s the deal...I am organizing an Achtung Stüka! group build. The details are as follows:

                        Begin date: March 1st 2005
                        End date: August 30th 2005
                        "Registration" closes February 28th 2005

                        Any scale/variant of Stüka is allowed: 1/144 through 1/24th scales

                        All models must be assembled from styrene plastic kits (in other words, none of the 1/18th scale 21st Century aircraft are permitted).

                        After market detail sets are allowed and encouraged, both resin and PE. The sky is the limit, so to speak.

                        Multiple builds accepted by members

                        Information and links of course are encouraged to be shared

                        Only new builds are allowed...do not submit projects already completed.

                        Axis co-bellegierents are also allowed, i.e., "Foreign Stukas".

                        Posting of "In-Progress" pics is strongly encouraged

                        Group build badge allowed to be utilized ONLY upon completion of 1st project

                        I am currently producing the Achtung Stüka! group build badge and will display it here shortly for all to see and access it. The kit I have for this project is the 1/48th scale Revell-Germany Ju-87D, which is a re-pop of the Hasegawa kit. I want this to be a really fun project for anyone who is interested, and I hope a 4-month window is enough for most of you who are interested to complete a project.
                        Update: I have increased the time frame to 6 months! This may encourage some folks to join in, the deadline for completion is now August 30th 2005....Achtung Stuka!!

                        Participants:

                        I'm interested, but I've got a little too much on the bench right now to join up. I'll see how things go in the next month. I'd like to make the cannon armed version of the Stuka some day.

                        Yeah, I'm interested in building an Eduard 1/144 StuKa too, but it's gonna be hard in the time you are proposing, let alone in my lifetime, given the numerous other GB commitments I have!

                        No problem Mick, that'd be a great idea. Welcome abourd if you're so inclined!! (Now I might think about a Hungarian one....!)

                        Fine! Put me down for a Ju-87 in Swedish colours then!
                        I've never seen one built like this, so this will be interesting. Sweden and Germany were having discussions in Dec 1939 about a possible sale of Ju-87 and Me-109E to Sweden, so if things had been different there could have been ...

                        Does anyone know if the 1/48th scale Ju-87G tankbuster by Hasegawa is still in production?? I have been interested in it for a few months, but greatmodels.com lists it only as "reissue"....no other stock status. My boys at spruebrothers don't have a listing for it at all, and I am very hesitant to use "evil-bay." Thanks.

                        Are there any aftermarket decals for this bad boy? just wondering.......I'll probably be fine with the kit ones.

                        AH1Wsnake, try Meteor Productions or Eagle Strike productions....they make a lot of decal sheets. You may find something there. Also look over at Squadron's website.

                        No, I haven't yet, but I have built a few others by them....if it's anything like those, I'd say it was probably pretty good.

                        I'm not sure, would need to do some research on it myself, but everything that I have heard has been that the anti-tank stukas were used late in the war on the Russian Front.

                        OK, you guys are off to a great start!! Snake, glad you're in!! The Group Badge is about complete. I was in transit from Germany all day Sunday, and have been outprocessing the past 2.5 days at FT Benning GA. I'm supposed to fly out for home (!) sometime tomorrow. I'll have the badge posted for all to see by the end of the week. And, I'll start my Stuka!!
