1/72 Junkers Ju-87 D-5 Stuka

[Fishbone]

Hello guys…I guess I forgot how to World War II already. I am glad I’ve finished this Stuka. Italeri 1/72 Ju-87 D-5 OOB, nothing much to say as it’s an OOB, dragging for like 1 month, being too over lazy these days…some parts went missing - rear machine guns and pillars of horizontal stabilizers.

That looks very good Kitti, it's a pity about the missing parts, but the only one that's really noticeable are the tail wing struts, you could always say the machine guns have been taken out to be cleaned. But like I said a very nice build all the same.

Looks great, Kitti. Lovely paint job, and I'm really impressed with you way you managed to get the panel line wash to continue through the decals. I always struggle with this!

Very easy - apply decals before doing panel line washing.

Nice smooth finish there, I must remember to put my decals on first before doing panel washes too. Here's an interesting fact, My late grandfather who was part of the 8th army in Africa was nearly killed by a Stuka as he was an AA gun loader, however on the day his station got bombed by a stuka he swapped his post with another comrade and was back at main camp.
