Thanks for reminding me Nathan. Believe it or not I still have an old Stuka VHS tape that I got from Phils Hobbies  in Carrolton, Tx back in 98 or so. Phils had to close its doors and  is now located in Florida and is called Bobe's Hobbies. I'll be watching that one soon!

You still have a VHS player?

Believe it or not ....................I do!  LOL

hell i still listen to the classical radio station on my walkman when i am biking at the gym. i i too still have a VCR. not only that i still have 2 complete sets of BABYLON 5 i taped from the tv. (yes i do have all of them on dvd now plus CRUSADE)

Man I didn't know I was going to draw THAT big of a crowd with that one! lol It's been a while since I've fired that thing up but I might just watch that Stuka video later.

See what you have started

I have a reel to reel projector. Does that count?

Hey Bish. I ordered an Aires set. I'm an Aires cockpit newbie, so it'll be fun.

I look forward to seeing your. Mine is still my favourite build so far, it was a nice build and I was really glad to finally add a Stuka to the finished pile.

I did it for the Ground Attack GB. If you want to have a look, the build starts here

And runs through to page 29.

Thanks for the link, Bish.  It looks like a fun build.  I can't wait to start it!

Ohh man, I used to be obsessed with Wings. I had no idea so many of them were on Youtube; it's a treasure trove on there.

For those of you who aren't lucky enough to still have a VCR many (all?) of the Wings of the Luftwaffe episodes are on YouTube; including the Stuka episode.

you-tube and chrome-cast. all you need!

It is a very nice build. I replaced the cockpit and cannon with Aires resin, but you really don't need to. When I compared the two sets of cannon, they were just as well detailed.

But there were no issues where you might often find them. The wings went on without any filler, I did use a little on the tail support struts but that was about it. I have done 4 Academy kits so far, and they have all been nice builds.

And I will check those out on You Tube, no harm in browsing before I buy. Thanks.

Bish

That Academy kit is a nice one, I built that G-1 last year.

I thought you mentioned in a previous post that you had done that kit.  Is there anything I need to watch out for, or was it a pretty painless build?

Wings of the Luftwaffe - YouTube

Nathan, are those wings of the Luftwaffe any good. I have ben thinking about getting some of those, starting with the Stuka ones of course, but never sure if there really worth it.

Mike, I will put you down at the bottom of the list as a possible. I know the feeling, I have a few GB's to get to before I start my Stuka. That Academy kit is a nice one, I built that G-1 last year.

Hey Bish - This post is for making this thread show in "My Discussions" to give me some motivation.  I have a 1:72 Academy Ju 87G-1 I am itching to start.

You can pencil me in if you like.  But I need to make some progress on my other GB's before I officially join.  I don't want to be a drop-out in any of them.  Since two of them are yours, I guess you'll see if I'm successful.

In the meantime, watch Wings of the luftwaffe, Ju 87 Stuka. It will keep you occupied for at least the next hour...

Well first thing I need to do is check out the 190.I haven't popped in there for a bit, had so much going on. You defiantly look rearing to go there Joe, I hope you have something to keep you occupied though, or you will be frothing at the mouth come April.

Hey guys. Finished up the Fw190 D-9, cleaned up my bench and I'm now ready for this build. The parts layout for my build...........

and here I sit, parked on the bench waiting for April 1st.............

RB armour barrels are also sold under the label of Armourscale.

I have mixed Aires resin and Edurad PE in the pits before, usually the pre coloured PE bits. But I have gone off that a bit. I agree about the Aires wheel set, a nice option there. I still have to get the HGW belts, I have never used them before, but I have heard plenty of people rave about them.

I have never heard of miracle mask's.

Thanks Bish. I hope I won't let you down! Looks like we all have some good ideas here. I had never heard of RB. That's a nice set of barrels they make.

I'll be interested to see how the Aires cockpits come out. That's a great idea, to combine the aires and eduard together. Also, Voyager makes a cockpit detail kit.

SS, how did you go about getting Miracle Masks? I suppose you have to special order them? Also, those HGW belts seem first rate! The aires wheel set is nice. Hopefully you can pick one up. I like that they give the option of a lightly loaded tail wheel, or heavier.

I won't use the kit decals btw. I'll go with a set of vinyl masks cut by Miracle Masks. The sheme I decided on only contains the swastikas, fuselage and wing crosses and a yellow band at the nose. All of those things are huge decals and I really don't want to mess around with something like that when a mask set for a few bucks makes things much easier...

I am really looking forward to seeing what you 2 do with this kit and all the extras. I'm sure I will pick up plenty of pointers.

I recieved my Eduard Big Ed stuff and the HGW belts yesterday. I'll use the PE cockpit set to add a few bits to the Aires tub (really only ammo belts, rudder pedals and canopy frame). I ordered that QB prop and Master barrels as well, but they didn't arrive yet. Ill go to a model show next weekend and Aires is going to be there too, so I'll have a look for those wheels...

RB also make the 32nd barrels. I originally tried to get the Schatton ones a couple of years ago but could get them, I didn't know they were OOP, so I got the RB ones, they look rather nice and I have used there tank barrels a few times which I like. I did get the BIGED set but now I have decided to get the Aires cockpit, but I am sure the pit PE will come in useful at some point, and those BIGED sets are good value I think.

I have had good luck with Hase decals, when I get round to the G-2, I think the only think I will not use is the yellow wing marking, I am going to try painting that one.

So far, I've added quickboost exhaust and props. The props will really make a difference and are a definite step up.

Aires tires and Master Model barrels. I found 3 companies that have made 1/32 metal barrels. Voyager, Schatton-Modellbau, and Master Model. The Schatton-Modellbau are out of production, however.

I also found some Montex Masks for the 1/32 Ju-87B and will see how the markings compare to the kit decals. I've had good luck with Hasegawa decals, however.

I do rather like those Eduard BIGED sets, I have the one for the 32nd 87G. Are you adding anything else.
