    Airfix 1/24 scale Stuka ?

    Anyone built this kit ?

    Since I got the 1/24 Hurricane and seen how detailed it is I've looked at other 1/24 aircraft and I like the look of this but I can't find any reviews on it just photos so I was wondering if anyone had built it and what the kit was like

    Thanks in advance for any info

    I never built it, Alan.

    Anyway I was nearly to bought this Kit time ago. The shop seller said me that was an old and poor detailed Kit. I don't know no more about it....but remember it was his opinion... O_o

    Have a 1/24 Stuka at home...

    My opinion is go fo it mate!!

          I haven't read the review but I have built this kit, many moons ago. It will need at least some basic improvement (like some seat belts for example) but I found it the best of all those Airfix 1/24 kits by a good margin.

          I think it can be made into a really impressive Stuka with a little effort, even if you don't want to spend a fortune tarting it up.

          Cheers

          Steve

              This stuka is actually really decent, but it can benefit from improvements from eduard that I highly recommend if you purchase this model.

                I just read the review, probably whilst you were typing your reply, and feel a bit like a parrot now I do agree with his assessment. I built all four of those kits years ago and remember them well!

                Cheers

                Steve

                      I found this super detailed, cutaway, build based on the Airfix kit. It's way beyond my skill set but impressive nonetheless. Although this guy has added a lot of 'stuff' to the kit a surprising amount actually came out of the box.

                            Haha nooo! I bet you could do something similar.

                            Though if & when you get the Stuka, I'll be watching that with interest. I've always wanted to build that one

                            myself.
