Duncan Doenitz Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hi all, A re-release of the 1:24 Stuka is nearly here. This was one of the goodies I had my eye on as a kid but could not afford. I hope that the moulds have stood the test of time and that the same plastic is used as per the superb Spitfire. I will almost certainly build the North African variant but am looking for stencils that will allow me to spray the snake emblem along the side of the fuselage. Any ideas ?

Duncan Doenitz Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Thank you, I used "Stuka" in my search criteria and my regular site for all things aftermarket describes the stencils without that term. I knew I had seen it somewhere. That's the colour scheme and version sorted out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) One of there best 1/24 kits. This re-release will have new decals.But the molds are the old ones. Like the Me 109 and Spitfire Mk1 they did as "vintage kits" At 97 Pounds or 112 Euro's still pricy. The old boxes can be found for around 50 to 60 Euro's ! So paying some 50 Euro's more just for the decals ? I would go with the overall sand option. Those code-letter markings can be easely found. I had a look at online shops in Belgium and found one . And I bought it ! 50 Euro's + 6,50 Euro's postage. Not a bad deal. Edited October 18, 2023 by Erwin Panzerwomble and Christa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Many years ago, the big hobby store we enjoyed in my home town in upstate NY had the Airfix 1/24 Stuka hanging from the ceiling in desert color scheme, along with most of the other Airfix 1/24 kits. The Stuka was probably my favorite of the lot! It looks so cool, and my God, it is HUGE. I'm gonna have to get one of these. Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Does it have the correct cockpit floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Doenitz Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 I dropped in to my regular UK store and they will be selling the kit at closer to £85. I always airbrush decals wherever possible and use after-market data plates etc. They really give the kit a bit of a lift. Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The detail on the Mg15 & the seat is superb. How long did these take you to knock up? The 3d design bug has bitten me of late and I am having a play on the 1/24 Airfix Bf-109E, really enjoying the 3D side as much as the physical modelling itself. Steep learning curve but once you work out the basics it's not too hard to expand out on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know it was only seen on photographed on one plane, and the $64 question is whether it appeared on both sides of the aircraft as only the port side was ever photographed as far as we know. The Montex set gives you masks for both sides and let you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
