Airfix Junkers JU87 Stuka 1:72 by Alex

[Thorbrand]

Hi guys

It's been a while since I last posted a build and this is my latest one which I'm calling finished

I opted for the more complex camo scheme and I'm quite happy with the result, I like to challenge myself but some transfers didn't make it and ended up getting crumpled so I had to be a bit creative with the underside lettering and I lost two bombs to the carpet monster

The base is made from a frame I bought for £4 from hobby craft, some foam board, sandpaper and paint plus a bit of woodland scenics grass. The rocks are Pollyfilla which I painted.

I used Revell aqua colour and Humbrol acrylics coated with gloss and finished with a satin varnish.

I love the Stuka, and this one looks really good. Nice work

Looks like you had a lot of fun with this one. Great finish

Nice one Alex, I'm still building the 1/32 version

Nice one Alex, I'm still building the 1/32 version

Thanks, I look forward to seeing it up here when it's finished. I still haven't made a bigger scale aircraft yet, mainly because 1:72 fits better in my limited storage space.
