Junkers Ju 87 G2 "kanonenvogel"

[Guest]

Hi

Started this Academy´s 1/72:nd scale Hans-Ulrich Rudel´s Stuka . Cockpit is ready and painted Lifecolor acrylic RLM 66 . I work cockpit OOB , just add Eduard seatbelts . Wings are glued to the fuselage , also bottom of the aircraft is painted RLM65 , but need´s to add one more layer paint .

I work now with the wing cannons . I scratsbuilt some pipes that those wouldn´t look so :lame: .

Cannons are painted RLM 65 , RLM 70 and black .

Masking and painting

First paint RLM 71 then masking and second paint RLM 70 . I don´t know why i didn´t paint that fuselage yellow stripe first , then these camouflage colors :darn:

Well , it´s not late yet to do that . . . Next have to mask again and paint that fuselage yellow and the V-shape yellow in the left wing .

Paint some little parts , spinner and landing gears .

On the book behind your model there is a picture of a Stuka with the red and white snake along it's side. I remember making a Revel model of that in round about '82 when there were country wide power cuts and threats of petrol rationing etc. I remember putting that transfer on and the lights went out and I had to finish it by candle light! Great kit though, although it probably doesn't stack up against modern offerings. I seem to remember it being huge so it was probably 1/32nd or something.

Transfers went ok even that you have to do that in the candle light ?

Maybe one day i´ll try to do those large scale planes too !? Just have to practise these little ones first .

Transfer went on fine, one of those things that you couldn't stop once you had started it!!
