Revell 1/144 Ju87B Stuka

[Fitz]

Finished and ready to start an illustrious career on the wargames table, this is an ancient, and fairly terrible, Revell 1/144 kit.

It's missing its dive-brakes and rear machine-gun.

I added a steel tab beneath that allows the aeroplane to be set either in level flight or in dive mode on a magnetic flight stand.



Considering how crappy the start point was, I'm pretty pleased with the way this has turned out.

Very nice! Really like the window effect.

Very good.

 Nice work, - you made an indifferent model look great

I like the window effect as well (writes note to try it out myself)

Do the kits come with a flying stand?

[Bergil]

Very nice work.

What's the smily face hiding?

Very nice work.

What's the smily face hiding?

Swastikas.
They are forbidden in German forums.

Me too - I have that kit, unbuilt, as I haven't thought it was worth any effort until now. Nice painting.

A small one, 3-5cm high. Google Image search here:

I think it did — the Me262 from the same series I'm building right now certainly does (even though it can't be modelled straight from the box in in-flight mode).

However, I made the stand the Stuka's on myself out of a length of 3mm acrylic rod, a stack of washers, and a little magnet. You can see the whole thing on my blog at http://mojobob.blogspot.co.nz/2017/06/ju87b-stuka-1144-scale.html — I didn't post the images here because of the swastika issue.

Fantastic looking finish to it, well done.
That'll get the French running.....
