Rob Colvin Posted December 30, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Ferrari Posted December 31, 2019 Share 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).

fightersweep Posted December 31, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Howie Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Maybe they corrected it after the D/G release...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
