ultmo Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I’m interested in building a 1/32-scale Ju87D. I’m not happy with Trumpeter’s offering—avoidable dimensional errors turn me away from most of their kits—and I love Hasegawa kits, but their D-variant is hard to find and, therefore, much more expensive. My question: Can Hasegawa’s Ju87G kit be used to create a D-variant? If so, what would I need to do to make the conversion? Thank you to all who respond.

thierry laurent Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 By the way Revell re-released the Hasegawa Ju-87D years ago. So, do not limit your search to the original kit. You can easily build a Ju-87D from a G as a G is globally a D with air to ground guns under the wings. However, if you want to build a night bomber, you will need to look for aftermarket flame dampers for the exhausts and wing guns.

Cheetah11 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It is basically the same kit but the G boxing has dedicated cannon sprues, thus lacking the bomb racks. Dive brakes , sirens, small bombs and both short and long wings are included. The parts you will need are wing bomb racks, centre bomb and cradle.

Kagemusha Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I'd post a request in the trader's board, you might get lucky. There are a couple of D's for sale on eBay UK, but postage would probably be a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Sprue Brothers has the Hasegawa G in stock. Then do what others have recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Also remember that Revell also re-released the D in their own boxing - might make searching for one a little easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultmo Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Thank you all for your replies. I haven’t had access to LSP for the past week, so I just read my messages. I ended up finding a G model for $35 (a modeling friend hooked me up!). Thanks again! Greg Scotsman, Uncarina and Alain Gadbois 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
