sturmovik Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hello all! First time poster here. I usually build in 1:48, but I won't shy away from a good 1:32 model from time to time (so far I have 3). As a way to present myself, I'll be building Hasegawa's Ju 87G in 1:32 with the markings of Hans Ulrich Rudel's machine. P.S: You can also find me under the same name on Britmodeller.

LSP_Ray Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I would like to also say.... You might also follow this thread as Andrea is also trying to do some research on a Rudel machine. Not sure if it is the same one you are trying to do, but might be some useful info. Good luck! sturmovik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturmovik Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 New Year's update folks! Wings glued. The joint between the lower wings and the wingroots had huge gaps, so those were filled with CA and sanded smooth.

Dany Boy Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Every Hans Ulrich Rudel's Junkers Ju 87G model grabs my attention I’m in the beginning of his book right now and it’ really not bad story so far.

G-Man Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Looks great so far! I have this kit in my stash and plan on doing his last plane using the Eagle Cals sheet. Read his book if you haven't yet, I really enjoyed it. sturmovik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware the fit of part J4 when you try to glue it to the fuselage, mine didn't fit because of the fuselage cockpit sidewalls. Stuka Pilot is in my "to get" list for books.

sturmovik Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Today I made significant progress ok the 87, I gloss varnished it and applied the decals as soon as the varnish was dry. The right hand cross broke, but I was able to repair it with some care and a toothpick.
