1/24 JU-87b - COMPLETED

After a fight I finally got the engine to fit, the one forward radiator hose is abot 2mm to short and I will have to fill this in.

The kit is also lacking all the fuel, electrica and controll links to the engine from the firewall so these will have to be made and installed but I will do that after painting is complete.

Someone told me that the cockpit floor was plywood and not metal, would the RLM 02 on that then be correct still or was it varnished?

Also the Oxigen system for the crew is lacking in the kit. It is same sa on the Me 109....where would it have been mounted in the pit?

Office looks great!

That pit does look nice.

Got the cockpit done, then started the engine but found the fit to be poor, I will have to fill the gaps with thick super glue.

Looking awesome! Yes RLM 02 is correct ,they used it on interiors until 42 then went to RLM66 but still used 02 in the wheel bays after 42

It all looks great so far, Theuns. I really like the seatbelts. This one is going to be something to keep an eye on.  :)

Looks great so far, I'll be following this for sure

Main elecrical bus , the switches are 1mm long sprue and the circut breacers are dots of whtie paint.

The seatbelts are from masking tape and the "metal bits" are formed thin steel wire.

You got me hooked. Any niggles or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Yup, it is a monster alright :-)

Will have to buy my glue and paint in bulk!

1/24 WOW!

This is interesting 

What a beast of a kit this was/ is! I remember seeing one of these kits at the LHS in Farmers Branch, Tx (back then it was Phil's Hobbies and now it's Bobe's Hobbies in Pensacola, Florida). Man that box was huge!! Looking forward to more updates.

Good looking IP BTW.
