Andrea Ferrari Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Mark P said: So....anyone compared the 32nd scale kits yet???? Andrea, BTW, and my opinion only (others welcome to disagree and some will), accuracy counts for lots. I can forgive a millimeter here or there, but the additional fuselage length depicted here is well outside my comfort zone. Mark Proulx From what I have seen in the previous posts, the Hasegawa 1:32 D looks to be way too short on the nose, while the Trumpeter 1:32 D-5 is just the master copy from which the 1:24 kit was scaled-up, so it also should show the same deficiencies of its bigger brother. I'm not a rivet counter and I am quite forgiving, being well aware of my limits and limitations - but in this large scale (we are talking 1:24) and with such price tags these highly noticeable mistakes - this would be at the very minimum an excess of something like 72cm / 30 inches on the real thing! - are quite unforgivable. Taking for granted, of course, that that Trumpeter fuselage is indeed too long and we are not making a silly mistake somewhere (which I doubt).

Chek Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 15 minutes ago, Andrea Ferrari said: Thank you Chek! However I have a Mac, and when I copy and paste the image URL in the "Insert other media" tab it won't be accepted - the window turns pink (of all things LOL) and that's it. Thank you however for having uploaded my image and glad you like it - hopefully others will find it useful . If you guys think enough members would be interested, I'd be glad to do a short detailed write-up/review on the Trumpeter D-5 build with all the pros and cons and take a few pics of the finished model to be published somewhere here in the LSP website - just let me know! In that case, I'll have to leave it up to one of our resident Mac users to help you out any further. I will add though that sometimes I've noticed removing the 's' from 'https://' helps. While I've entertained building a line up of A,B,D and G Ju-87s, I'm not invested enough to do them in a large scale. But I'd say myself and certainly most here would be pleased to see further work/comparisons by you as your models shown so far look excellent.

Andrea Ferrari Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 As an interesting aside - since I started voicing my concerns about the accuracy of the 1:24 Trumpeter Ju87 D-5 on this forum and on a few Facebook build pages (including the official Trumpeter & Hobby Boss one), I have been completely unable to gain access to Trumpeter's official website www.trumpeter-china.com/. Every time I give it a try I am told my browser is unable to connect to their server. Is anybody else experiencing the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanna Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) I do not see 7 cm difference in the overhead split picture and the tail struts are not the same. Close but not the same.

Darren Howie Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Im sure there was an extensive post comparing Trumpeter and Hasegawa Stukas here several years ago where dimensionally Trumpeter was found after much normal bashing to be more accurate.. Searched to no avail... Are there any reputable plans verified to compare with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT I do plan to go soon and MAYBE after shootin' the breeze with an attendant, could surely ask a favor... I will be sure to have my tape measure on me JIC.
