Stuka Tank Buster Paint Schemes?

Hi Everyone,

I’m building my first plane in nearly 20 years, I usually do armor and cars so I wanted a change…I’m doing Academy’s JU87G-1 kit, but I was wondering if there were any other paint schemes that are different than that in the kit instructions, I’m having a hard time finding some color schemes on the net, can anyone help?

thanks

Kelly

I didn’t check out the specifics but here are a couple of Luftwaffe sites that may have information you can use.

The vast majority of these aircraft were painted RLM 70/71 splinter over 65, and many were based on the Eastern Front (RLM 04 fuselage band & lower wingtips). The schemes you have are probably for them.

I built Hasegawa’s 1/48 Ju 87G-2 a while ago, in Rudel’s markings in a winter scheme. It is one of the few varients in camo that you’ll see with this bird.
