Rob Colvin Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Good eve all, i have a few stuka questions..... Were brass barrels for the twin mg and anti-tank guns ever produced? We're any other parts produced- flame dampeners, wing cannons with flash suppressors ( D8 conversion)....New wheels/ reshaped undercarriage Will the red fox 3d printed parts for ju 87b- 2 (cockpit) work for for the d/g.....I'm guessing no. Thanks all BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I am not well versed in the manliest of aircraft scales, so I am only aware of the 1/24 Stuka wheels that AMS produced. Which, of course, I can now supply you with if you should need them! Tim LSP_K2 and chrish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Master has generic MG 17 barrels. Don't know anyone with the 37mm cannon barrels. Very little AM; Scalemates only list some mask sets plus the AMS wheels Tim pointed out. BiggTim and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I presume it is for the Trumpeter kit. Just remember to cut about 1 inch out of the rear fuselage. hal9001 and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well Trumpeter strikes again. I understand that there isn't much in the way of existing Stukas but, there is data on these aircraft, they aren't an unknown quantity.

Mark P Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) I am curious as to where the 1" measurement is based upon. Plans? I don't have a dog in this fight and I have no desire for a later 24th scale Stuka kit, just trying to figure out how the 1" number was derived? If comparison to the Airfix kit, who says it is correct? Mark Proulx Edited October 3, 2023 by Mark P D.B. Andrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 There was a pretty long thread about it a while back. I can't remember if 1" is the number or not. Unfortunately, the forum search engine isn't very good. LSP_K2 and phasephantomphixer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Here is the old thread: The Trumpy kit appears to be long by roughly the width of the rudder, so 1" is probably about right. Supposedly, the Trumpy 1/32nd kit is a bit long and for some unknown reason, they added length to the 1/24 kit! phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastterry Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Well Ray this is the curse of modern design and manufacture of tooling using CAD/CAM. Trumpeter's team of designers got it wrong on the 1/32 Stuka but instead of correcting the data it was just upscaled to 1/24 and we have another product which is wrong. This is standard OP for Trumpeter/Hobby Boss as they've done the same thing with the Bf109s and Spitfires just to name a couple. No this is not a pet hate of mine.

LSP_Ray Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Not just upscaled; they actually added to the length! The 1/24th kit is proportionately farther off than the 1/32nd kit. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
