Junkers JU 87G-2 ´Kanonenvogel´ [Revell 1/72]
Posted by cupofwondering on Friday, July 6, 2012 2:37 PM

Junkers JU 87G-2 ´Kanonenvogel´, tankbuster - 10. (Pz) St.G3, Jacobstadt , Latuvania, July 1944
[Revell 1/72]

The kit fits reasonably well, but there is a lot of flash since they used an old tool, possibly from Frog.

Cheers,

Jan

Good lookin bird.  I bet a birdcage canopy in 1/72 is a tedious affair.  You are much more brave than I.

Yes, the Huns were very fond of glasshouses,...

I recently learned to paint the frames after applying Tamya tape. It works well for me.

The Revell kit isn't a FROG clone. I bought one back in the early to mid 70's. The FROG kit is a fair bit older than that. Other than both being the " D/G " version, there is no commonality between them.

Nice job on an old kit.
