Ju 87 Stuka B2 Italeri

[michaelm]

Well my first thread and first time showing pics of my modelling efforts.

Picked up this kit in the sale at my lms, Wonderland Models, for just £14;99 a bargain I think. Looks really nice with great details and a small fret of PE, another first for me.

Wanted to start a thread with it as I may need your help and advice as I go along so thought it might be a good idea to post pics as I go.

I'm still very much a beginner as only back to this for a few months but never imagined you could have so much fun with a box of plastic bits and some paint. M

Nice start and there's plenty of advice available on here (probably not from me, but from those who actually know what they're doing with aircraft )

I also see we frequent the same model shop in town ..... nice shop ... sometimes awquard to find a spot to park in Castle Terrace

Thanks so much for all your kind words.

I've made some progress and fitted the cockpit into the fuselage and attached the wings, the fit is really pretty good with not too much putty needed at the wing root.

I've also got the engine painted and ready to fit, there is an option to show the engine but I'm going for the closed option.

I think I've got the firewall on a bit squint which is throwing the engine out of line so I'll have to do some remedial work to get it all to line up correctly.

Thanks again for your encouragement M
