MMMM, well your half way there. Don’t worry, will work on the rest [;)]
What is the meaning of this…I found this on page 2. Tsk tsk…I’m starting to get the shakes getting closer to the 1st
Bish: I will be doing the AirFix JU-87 “Berta” in 1/72 scale. I haven’t done anything that small in a while so while it may not be overly complicated it’ll still be a challenge simply trying to see it!
Added it to the roster mikey, I am, sure you will be fine in that scale. If you do struggle, I would really suggest a magnifying headband if you don’t have one. I use mine in what ever scale I am working in, but especially so in 72nd.
Jeez Bish! This threads gonna hit 500 posts BEFORE the build date even starts!! Sheesh!!! Get ready dude, this things gonna be big!!
Yeah, I know. This ain’t no Stuka, but the prelude to it anyway. From over at the Japanese GB.
I’m ready for the Stuka build now!
That’s nice pilot, I do like the scheme.
There was one Japanese Stuka, a Ju 87A sent to them before the war. I believe it was used to develop the dive brakes on the Val.
Joe, I think I may have unleashed a monster.
That’s interesting. I’m not much of a fan of the A’s but without em you wouldn’t have the B’s and D’s!
Hey Bish, I just read the Japanese were sent two Stukas to evaluate before the war. Ironically, they were in a museum that was bombed by USAAF late in the war and apparently blown to smithereens!
2 was it, I hadn’t read that and just assumed it was one. I had read that about the museum being bombed by the US.
Mustang, I do know what you mean, I think its those spats. But seeing as I am on a mission to build as many Stuka variants as possible, I can hardly leave it out. But I am not to keen on the appearance of it.
How about something fun to look at while we are waiting for this GB to start? I’m sure a lot of us played with legos when we were kids. I bet there’s a few here who still do. I stumbled across this awesome Lego creation on the web.
Here is the web page I found it on. There are a couple more pictures of it there.
Thanks for the comments on the “Tony” , guys.
Dang. When I was a kid, all you could make with legos was a block house. A lego Stuka? Complete with guards and mechanics? A G model, no less! Good taste!
Now that’s sweet, I want one.
My son is really into legos. Once he see’s this he’s gonna flip!!! Thanks for sharing that Mike!
My son has the pro builder P-51 but I’ve never seen a stuka. There is also a B-17 on that site too
Heck, Oberst Rudel would be proud of that Leggo Stuka!
I’ve been doing a little research on the Stuka’s most unique feature; the Jericho-Trompete (Jericho Trumpet). I ran across a few pictures in case anyone is interested.
Mikey, ye, I think he well might.
Mike, nice pics, I have not seen those top two before. The blades are a lot bigger than the kit ones I have seen.
Panzerpilot: That Tony looks great! Sorry I didn’t post anything on that sooner. Paint looks awesome!
