Rob Colvin 508 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I was wondering? Has anyone compared the fuselages (trump B vs. D) ? I was wondering if the B has the correct length. I have an airfix parts kit....it is missing the port fuselage and cockpit. I thought about using the engine, cowl, and spats as a conversion kit......thoughts? Thanks Edited December 30, 2019 by Rob Colvin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrea Ferrari 43 Posted December 31, 2019 I have compared images of the Trumpeter and Airfix 1/24 Ju87 Bs and both fuselages appear to be of the same length (ie the Trumpeter B does not seem to suffer from the 3cm stretching of the rear fuselage shown by their D). 1 Alain Gadbois reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fightersweep 1,444 Posted December 31, 2019 Does the Trumpeter 1/24 kit have the same undersized nose as the 1/32 kit? I'm guessing so, but thought I'd ask first. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Colvin 508 Posted December 31, 2019 Makes u wonder, how do u get the b fuselage correct in length and the d/g wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Howie 1,023 Posted January 1 Maybe they corrected it after the D/G release...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing so, but thought I'd ask first. Steve Yes, the B has all the good and bad points of the 1/32 kit. Remember Trumpeter basically pantographs their kits from 1/32 to 1/24 without changing anything, so whatever good or bad is in their 1/32 kits will be present in their 1/24 ones too. They screwed the rear fuselage of the D-5 and G-2 versions up when they added an extra section for the EZ6 direction-finding unit dorsal antenna just like that, without worrying about lengthening the fuselage - I believe the same mistake is present in the 1/32 kit too, but of course it's less noticeable there.
