Junkers Ju 87 Stuka

Night attacker Stuka

Towards the end of WWII Ju 87 aircraft were converted to night operations. The Ju 87D-8 were equipped with exhaust flame suppressors. Most of the night operating Stukas served under1./NSGr.9 in northern Italy and retreated to Austria until [...]

Trumpeter 1:32 Stuka

Finally finished this Stuka from Trumpeter. I had no issues building this, apart from spending ages painting the engine, only to find its invisible once you add the cowling and I didn't fancy doing "plastic surgery' (I'm not [...]

Ju-87B-2 MKHL

Hello everyone, I have recently finished an Airfix Ju-87 Stuka. What to say, it is a nice kit, went together well. I didn't have any difficulties. The only aftermarket set I used was an instrument panel from Yahu. The plane was painted as [...]

Junkers Ju-87 R-2 "Sturzkampfflugzeug"

My very first Stuka: an R-2 from 3rd Staffel, 1st Gruppe, Sturzkampfgeschwader 1, as it may have appeared in April-May 1940, based in France. Pretty much Italeri out of the box, with a few Eduard embellishments in the cockpit. I spent far [...]

Junkers Ju 87 A2

This is the 1/48th scale offering from Special Hobby. The kit is definitely not for beginners, having many fit issues especially when joining the wing to fuselage, which required copious amounts of filler to correct but nothing that [...]

Desert Stukas: Hasegawa 1/48 Ju-87B

Hasegawa's Stuka is a very nice kit. However, it requires modifications to emphasize the characteristics of the aircraft in the model. The flaps and ailerons are joined to the wings in false rods. I scratch build the connections opening [...]

JU 87 - G takes me down memory lane

I saw this old, classic kit and decided to give it a try. Glad I did, but not for the reasons I expected. This is my first post mainly because I have only picked up modeling again after a many decade absence and I don’t this k my [...]

Italeri Ju 87 D-5 Stuka 1/48

(link) The instructions have some errors. the SC500 bomb cannot be used despite the instructions showing it is an option - the cradle that holds the bomb in this kit is the incorrect size and the SC500 bomb would sit too far back. The [...]

1/32 Ju87D-8 "Night Stuka", Hasegawa 08171

This is Hasegawa’s Ju87D-8 “Night Stuka”. I tried to replicate the box art which I like very much. The most difficult part of the kit IMO is the canopy. I sanded off the molded on structure and polished it again. Then I tried to add [...]

B-17 F ‘Memphis Belle’ 324th Bomb Squadron, 91st Bomb Group

Hi everybody, I don’t know how to start this article. My first thought was to write: ‘don't yell on the damn intercom!’ (famous sentence from Capt. Bob Morgan), But no Let’s first present my happy new year to you modelers. This [...]
