  Greece National Day 2007 

 

Hi once again my friends!

This time I'm here with another OOB kit, the Ju-87B Airfix.  The moment I ordered the kit, I couldn't imagine how huge it was going to be!!!!

A real Monster!!!!  So I decided to model it, OOB again, and the only aftermarket improvements were Eduard's Seatbelts.  I was really disappointed with the large mount of broken parts and the bad fit!!!

Anyway I did my best, and I have to admit the perfect surface feeling of Airfix!

CONSTRUCTION

I followed the Airfix instruction exactly, step by step, and the whole construction was completed in 3 weeks.

I painted it with Gunze RLM 74/75/76 and I weathered it in a Eastern version Look.

 

Unfortunately, it is the last time I model 1/24 kit, since I decided that 1/32 is the best scale for me and my abilities.

I hope you enjoy it.  See you next time with Tamiya's 1/48 He-219 UHU and Trumpeter's 1/32 Avenger and a Group Build based on 21th Century toys 1/18 B-25.
