Ju87G-2 WIP

Jerry: looks like a very nice kit, and with the amount of detail going into it, I'm anticipating nothing short of your standard "spectacular". Quick wiring question: What gauge wire do you typically use for 1/32 scale vs. 1/48 scale...specifcially referring to the cockpit? Also, what did you use to band the wires with in your pictures?

Keep the progress updates coming.

Great start Jerry.  Very nice work on the pit.

Regards,  Rick

Thanks Rick.

Mucker...thanks also. I used 32 gauge beading wire for the looms. I use this wire for either scale. Sometimes I'll use .015 and .032 solder for larger cables and piping the later being to large for 1/48. The cable ties are thin strips of Tamiya tape.

Cheers,

Jerry

This is absolutely awesome, I am working on the same kit and now I've got some reference material. I've just started the cockpit though. Great work and I look forward to the updates.

By the way, you may already be aware of this but the 3.7cm flak 36/37 cannon are avaliable in machined brass from a HS in Houston.

Later......Stacy

Thanks Stacy....I've already got a set.

Yeah sort of. I wanted to use a product called Apoxy Sculpt from a company called Aves, but ran out. So I used Blu-tac. It'll never get hard, but I think it worked pretty well.
