Well, I finally finished my 1/48 ProModeler Ju 87R-2 Stuka yesterday. I’ve had this one on the bench for about 6 months, because I’m lazy and I’ve been playing too many video games. But she’s finally done and in the display case.
Constructive criticism is always appreciated! Thanks!
I liked the kit…had a couple fit issues, but nothing major. All my painting was done with Model Master enamels. The decals went on without Future, because the paint was a semi-gloss. Testors Dull-cote was applied over everything. Masking was done via Black Magic precut masks.
Thanks! My first splinter camo, so it was kinda challenging. There are things I would have done differently, like not putting on the rear stabilizer bars until the painting was done. But overall, I’m very happy with it. I can’t wait to shoot my He 111 in the same colors!
Well done, especially the camo. My only comment would be to try a wash, especially in areas like the engine grill, which really make those details pop and give more depth.
A very nice, clean build that shows off your craftsmanship. Some modelers prefer to weather and age a plane for realism, but this kind of factory-fresh look always has a unique style that is just as impressive. The Stuka has always been one of my faves and this example fortifies that appreciation all the more.
Thanks! Yeah, I hardly weather any of my a/c at all…I prefer the “factory-fresh” look myself. I feel that it shows off the paint schemes better, and I’m a big fan of obsure or complicated paint schemes.
