Hasegawa 1/48 Junkers Ju-87D-1 STUKA

April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · · 24 · 204

Stuka was built.
Since this product was a stock item released 25 years ago, it was difficult to apply decals, but other than that, there were no other difficulties and the kit was easy to assemble.

The kit is straightened out except for the pitot tube and antenna wire.

The painting is finished by the B&W method.

  1. Man, I really like this! Well done!

  2. Excellent job, Dagored!

  3. An amazing looking Stuka, Dagored @dagored
    Not sure what you mean with the B&W method, but it turned out beautifully

  4. Great Stuka! Wonderful paint job!

  5. What an awesome model...well done!

  6. That is a really beautiful looking build. I like the process you used to create your finish. You managed to really give it a weathered look that I like. Do you do a panel wash prior to paint to darken the panel lines? I am curious about your process.

    • Thank you very much. This time, the finishing can be done by shading in black and white first, and then layering a lighter top coat to make the best use of shading to create a crisp finish.

  7. I really like looking at this one. Job supreme!

  8. Excellent result!

  9. Very nice result. I really like the paintwork.

  10. Lovely work, Dagored. I like the way the B&W process worked out. It has a really good effect on the colour scheme. Well done ;-).

    • Thank you very much, the B&W method is mainly used for AFV models, but I thought it could be used for aircraft as well, so I used it this time.

  11. Hmmm - I use "black basing" a lot, but this depiction of the "B&W method" is more subtle - I really like the result. I may have to give this method a try! The paintwork is just excellent.

    • Another advantage of the B&W method is that it is easy to make any number of corrections at the base coat stage, and only one top coat is needed. This is a place where you should definitely give it a try.
