Howdy 3D,

First, welcome to the forum, we are glad you joined. please feel free to jump into any conversation that interests you, look at photos, post photos ask quetions or give advice.

Now Onto the Stuka. I am no scholar on this subject, but if you are not aware, the Ju-87 had "sirens" on the plane to give it that distinctive sound it had when it pulled into a dive. They were air driven and the airpcraft had to reach a certain speed i believe to get them starts sounding off.

If you would like some more information, some photos of the Ju-87's cockpit can be seen here: Warbird Photo Album - Ju-87 Stuka Cockpit and if you want even more, you can purchase these books found here : S q u a d r o n . c o m - Cookie (there are 11 books at this link for the Ju-87 ranging from $8.96 to $31.89) They are all indepth books with plenty of photos.

I hope this helps and again, welcome to the forum,

yes one of the simplest of terror weapons screaming dive bombers.

but yeah GERMAN AIRCRAFT INTERIORS 1935 - 1945 would be superb as i want to know how deep detail is needed

Hi and welcome!!.....Sometimes buying the book is the simplest solution/looks good on a shelf/can be resold on ebay/can be used to light fires on crystalnacht etc..., and saves one hell of a lot of time!

.Geedub has however pointed you in the right direction...welcome to the minefield of JU87 variants

I've always loved the Airfix 1/24th scale aircraft. (I can't wait to see the Mossie later this year) but I never got around to trying the Stuka. That was one of the later ones and I was leaving my teenage years behind when that one came out. I have two Spits and two 109's in the attic though!! One day.

Don't forget to post some pictures as you build this one. I'm sure at this scale with that size canopy the cockpit detail will look superb.

Hi 3D.

take a look at this one one the ARC:

1/48 Hasegawa Ju-87 B2 Stuka by Frank Dargies

a good exaple of how detailed you really can go!

and here is a "walk around"

Ju-87 walkaround

no interior shots but good for external details.

here is a B on Large Scale Planes:

Large Scale Planes

LSP is quite good, esepecially for what your doing, check out the gallery im sure there will be more stukas. join the forum and ask around. they will know alot!!!

and here is a collection of peoples models in the gallery on the ARC:

JU-87 Gal_Fea Archives

There are quite a lot of 1/24 airfix ones on there so it could be good for resorces, if you look through them some people might have "supper-detailed" the cockpit and might be a good point of refference.

anyway, hope that helps and welcome to the forum!!!!

now you can help a complete noob on 3dsmax!! lol
