Hello everybody.
This diorama has been on my shelf for like one year, waiting the proper time to
take some pictures. This is the fourth Ju-87 from Hasegawa that I´ve built. So
this time I decided to ad something else to the kit to make it look more
impressive.
So I
started looking for some extra goodies for this beautiful kit and I ended buying
the Verlinden Update set, verlinden Gun Cleaning Team, and a figure set
from DML/Dragon. Also from my spare parts box I took a Ketenkraftrad which
came with the Me-262 from Tamiya (which I´ve already posted).

I built the kit
straight forward, superdetailing the interior with the verlinden set, and some
scratchbuild. The plane was painted the classic RLM 65/70/71, some gloss
lacquear applied, then decaling with Microscale products, again some semigloss
lacquer. After that I airbrushed very thinned white paint all over the
uppersurface. Then I wait until it dried and applied an 50/50 raw umber and
black ivory oils very diluted. The let it dry for 2 days and with a piece of
linen dumped with mineral spirits start to make some cleaning here and there.
Some extra wiring was added to
the engine to make it look more real, at this time I have to say that the tools
that came with the verlinden set are superb..!!!
For the base of the diorama I
used a piece of wood, some drywall filling putty to make some bumps, and over
all used diluted school glue and let lots of baking soda over it to simulate
snow.
