Airfix 1/24 Junkers Ju-87B Stuka

March 9, 2025 · in Aviation · · 24 · 298

Among the 1/24th scale old series by , the is probably the best. It has raised and recessed surface texture and the detailing is adequate.

This model was painted several times until I settled with the reticulated desert scheme. Lower surfaces retained the original (hand painted) RLM 65.

Due to its large size the model captures vividly the terror of the Nazi war machine.
