1/24 junkers-ju-87b-2 stuka build

I remember seeing the size of the box that monster came in at the local HS. 

They had one built up and hanging from the rafters. That's a big model! Impressive work and detail in your build. Following attentively.

thank's guy's for the comment's , appreciate them all .

lawdog , no mate I generally use tamiya paint's , with a bit of AK , and MIG , haven't been game to try alclad yet . I'm starting to wish I had put a bit of effort into opening up the the engine cowling .maybe on the next one 

your right mopar , couldn't really beleive it . it was the same both side's too .

this thing sure took a fair bit of primer

I’m thinking it would take me just about a whole bottle of Model Air RLM 65 to paint that underbelly! 

your not far off of the mark mopar .  

you even get real rubber tyres in this kit

Yup. Vallejo Model Air for this beast. RLM 70/71 splinter pattern topside, RLM 65 undersurface.

you may want to consider getting some masks from Maketar for insignia and letters. They may do a set for this kit, but I am not sure.

Trumpeter have a B2 in the works I think. If they get it right at both pricepoint against detail then it could affect Airfix sales of what is a very much outdated kit that has issues.

I would love to see Airfix go back and redesign their spitfires, Hurricanes, ME 109 etc and just bring them up to Tiffy and Hellcat standard of detail and fit.

I would also like them to change the plastic for a better standard rather than the soft cheap stuff they use now. It might take the RRP up a bit but it would make a better experience and sturdier kit.

would also love to see 1/24 ME262 and Corsair and maybe they could get a working hinge?

Given the price of Trump's other 24th scale Stuka's i am not sure the 2 are going to compete. And Trump certainly need to get the 24th B right unlike their 32nd kit, the issues in that kit are what have stpped me buying one and i would love to add a 32nd B to my collection.

Steve, looking very nice there, looking forward to seeing some paint going down.

love your image host ad m. brindos .

some mothers do have em' . didn't know it was on my fingers  , shheesshhh 

didn't take much , but it does annoy you .

gloss coat on for decals and weathering

thanks tojo , pity the decals didn't work out the same , they were old , and they fought me the whole way , that's why they are not on the side of the craft , I woke up the next day and couldn't beleive how bad they had turn out , took me about 4 hours to get them off , was so p&#^*%& off , I forgot to take photo's , sorry guy's . but I am nearly there .

Despite the decals issues, this build is still looking great.

Almost makes me want to pull out the old Monogram kit lol.

That is looking nice with the markings going on. Good choise of scheme, i do like that StG 2 badge.

I just got this kit as a tip from one of my customers. Are there any tips you can give me after building that beauty of a model.
