Ju 87G-1 Dio

This is Academy’s 1/72nd Ju 87G-1 just finished for the Ground Attack GB.

I added an Aires resin set which comprised cockpit, engine and guns. Also from Quickboost the front undercarrage and prop. It was painted with Xtracolour enamels, i used Pro Moddeler wash in the panel lines and went over the top of the wings very lightly with AK interactive’s streaking grime.

For the ground equipment i used an oil cart from Matador Models, the tall ladder is from Airmodel and the other ladder, tool box and bucker from Bren Gun.

It’s about time i built a Stuka. Its my all time favorite aircraft, and until now i didn’t have a completed one on the shelf. The Academy kit is really nice, even with all the extra’s its pretty well detailed. There are only a couple of minor accuracy issues, for those who worry about those things. The fit was very good with only a little filler needed.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for looking. All comments and feedback very welcome.

Looks great Bish! The poses for the figures look good too, especially the guy sitting in front of the windscreen. Nicely done!

That dio is super in any scale. Great job! [Y][Y]

That’s beautiful work, Bish. I wouldn’t believe it was 1/72 scale if you hadn’t said so. I particularly like the color balance - very convincing.

Thnaks a lot all. I am really pleased with this. Both because i finally have a completed Stuka and because of how it has turned out. And a lot of that is down to what i have learned on here.

Eric, i saw a photo of a Stuka with a ground crewman sitting up there taking the top engine panel off. So i just had to do it.

Sweet looking dio!

One question: What did you use for the ground cover? It came out great.

Thanks G-J. Its just static grass that you can get from a lot of model shops. I have quite a selection, a lot of it woodland scenics. I use a mix of colours and lengths.
