Ju 87 Stuka GB

I think I might try that pilot. Its £16.99 here, but that works out at about $25. If I pre order it, they might reduce the price.

I am working on it Joe

Dang Bish!!!! Anything else???????

Kagero just came out with a new Stuka book. It ships after March 31,...in honor of this GB??? It looks promising and is $20 euros, direct. $22 USD preordered on Amazon, which is about my upper limit for a book. Beyond that, I'm just gonna guess.

Is this it?  It's down to $16.99 USD now!

For me it depends on the subject. If its something I am really in to and will build a lot of, I will get plenty of books. For other subject, I might just get one or two and then I have a couple of fairly old general military aircraft books for my modern US and Russian models. So as you can imagine, about 95% of my reference books are on German armour and aircraft.

Thanks for the heads up pilot. I haven't got any of those Kagero, this might be a good excuse to get one. I am sure between us all we can come up with any info anyone is looking for.

This is my current collection of Ju 87 specific books.

Yeah I try not to spend a whole lot on research myself. I did go overboard with my Dora book by Jerry Crandall. I stepped out on a ledge and spent 90 bucks on that thing but its a good read as well as a good reference.

I am very cheap when it comes to references.

I know, I don't know what the guys was thinking. I was just checking Amazon, both Volumes of the NF books are on there now. Vol 1 is £244 for a new one and £100 for a second hand and Vol 2 £170 for second hand. And there another second hand one priced at £938.

It really bug me because the sort of people who will spend that sort of money will probably never read or even flick through the book, they will just stick it in a sleeve and add it to the collection.

John: Very nice looking Stuka you got there!

Joe: Great find on those books!

Bish: 1500 bucks!? That's just insane! I am hesitant to pay anything above 40 for a book (and it has to be really good for me to do so as well) Those aero-Detail books are neat books indeed. I bought one about the Thunderbolt and I love it!

have seen one of the Nightfighter books at over £1,500, that's just stupid.

I've got other words for that but I don't think I can post em here!

And I bet they along the lines of what I said when I first saw it

Your quite lucky, the Stuka ones are still pretty easy to get hold of, theres a couple on E-Bay now for around £15, so you got your at a good price. There just a few of the books from that series that go for silly prices. I have seen one of the Nightfighter books at over £1,500, that's just stupid. I think the highest I would go for one I am missing is 50 or 60, which even then is 3 times the original price.

I have to take sme pics of my Panther later so will get one of my Stuka books. I think its a good idea to show what you have, it might help others who would like to get books on a certain subject.

I would only imagine they would go for a pretty penny Bish. My good wife was there when I found those two books yesterday as I reacted to find the ones that I did. I mean I didn't make a drooling fool out of myself but the reaction was priceless to her I know.

The covers are the same, just they have fighters on them. Theres 20 books all together, split into 5 Volumes of 4 books each. Some can be got at a good price. But just so happens the ones I am missing are the ones that are hard to get hold of. They usually go for over £100. Same goes for the two nightfighter ones and the second of the two books titled Sea Eagles.

I don't know why Classic Publications don't re print them, they would sell like hot cakes I reckon.

These are the 4 boks from Vol 2 of the jagdwaffe, just as an example. The last two of these are two that are hard to get.

Bish what do those Jagdwaffe books look like on the cover?

Nice score Mustang!  I can never find anything in my local book stores that I wish I could find.  I'm seriously angry/happy at/for you! /

Those Luftwaffe Colour books are really nice. That's a good find. I am trying to get 5 of the Jagdwaffe books to complete the set, but they go for damn silly prices. I keep hearing good things about those Aero Detail books as well.

I wanted to throw this in just for the hell of it due to the find that I made today. I started off with these references shown below. You'll have to forgive me for the coverless Squadron book.  A victim of my idiot dogs ten years ago. They liked it too!!!

and it never fails whenever I walk in to Half Price books I always, and I do mean ALWAYS find exactly what I'm looking for. Today for example I was looking for .....well...you know........Stuka references. I hit the friggin jackpot with these for 13 bucks a piece.......

snaked em both!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a pic of a "B" that I did years ago. OOB. 

Mine is in two pieces as well. I'm looking forward to the challenge though. I've had these decals sealed up and tucked away for around 12 years now.

These decals come with the kit. I had a lot of problems with the snake and crosses breaking apart. They are very thin and take a lot of care. The snake is in two pieces and is slip when the cross cover it.

Wish I would have joined this GB, because I just got done with Hasegawa's new 1/48 JU-87 R-2 Stuka Desert Snake for an IPMS review. I will hijack this and posy a couple photos:  

I quite like Wings Pallet. their info isn't always spot on, but they have some great images. Cheers for that Phil.

John, nice build, I do like the Stuka with the yellow nose.

Nice builds Tim and John. Good inspiration.

As its 10 days to go I was looking for some ideas on paint schemes and found this site below. Haven't seen anyone else post ito so thought I'd share

A friend has asked me to build a Stuka for him in 1/48 at the same time as the one I already agreed too so I think I will use his for practice first

Thanks guys.

Here's a link to my review:

web.ipmsusa3.org/.../junkers-ju87r-2-stuka-limited-edition

This kit builds up very simply with just a minor fit problem on one of the wing roots. I used Eduard's Zoom cockpit PE set and their masking set. Both are awesome and worth the extra $15 together. I would have liked to find a replacement machine gun for the rear gunner, the kit one is not too good.

That's anoe great looking Stuka! I really want to start work on mine as soon as this GB begins, but it's not going to happen that soon
