Hi all now I've finished the monkee mobile I thought I would get back to the Warspite Dio and make a start on this one (I have suddenly thought looking at the pic on the box I shouldn't use this version as I think from the pic its an anti tank version, however I figure if I leave the guns off it could have just dropped a bomb so thats what I'm going to do)

I have to say every Academy kit I have built so far seem to fall together no fitting issues, a blessing after MPC's awful monkee mobile.

anyway here are some pics.

Watch out though Ken, that version didn't have dive brakes or a bomb cradle.
 
Thread owner
Would they be difficult to scratch build I know nothing about planes what do they look like.
 
nice start Ken, and i do like that idea of a wash in the cockpit to pickup the detail,nice, :rolleyes:
 
Nice start Ken , are you going to use this on the dio or is it like a separate thing showing what aircraft attacked the warspite?
 
Thread owner
No it's going on the dio if I can sort the dive brakes and bomb cradle out
 
Without the under wing guns it will revert to being a later model Ju87D. I'm sure you can create the dive brakes easily enough. The bomb cradle may take a bit of engineering.

Hi all here is a little update on the Stuka

I have tried to make the air brakes (I could only find one decent pic of them and that was on a model) I have no idea what they really look like so this is my best attempt at what I could seen. as for the bomb cradle would that have swung back up after dropping its payload as I obviously dont have a bomb so I want to do it as if its just got rid of it.

I have glued the windscreen on before it says so in the instructions as I got tired of rescuing them from the CM after breaking them off, seemingly every single time i picked it up, Hope that decision dosent end up biteing me in the bum

Well I don't know why this is still in one piece, I was doing the undercarriage and the canopy came off as did the rear guns(I stuck the canopy on to stop that happening ) so after half an hour wrestling with CM I won and glued the guns back on put it on the bench for the glue to set went to pick up the FW190 snagged the Ju87 with my sleeve it fell on the floor upside down, guess what came off, so 20 mins later wrestled them from the clutches of the CM went to glue them back on an ping off they went just found them after over an hour chucked them and the model back in the box. That's me done for tonight @@!!.
