My last Fujimi Stuka, this one representing a Ju87B-2 Trop coded S1+HK, flying with 2.StG.3 out of Derna in Libya, late 1941.

All OOB except for the seat harnesses (which can't really be seen). The tropical filter came from the spares box from an Italeri kit. The main paint work used Humbrol enamels; some Ammo acrylics were used for tiny details. The decals are a mixture of the Fujimi markings and Italeri codes. I used ground up chalk to create a slightly dusty look over the airframe, especially the markings, the underside grime, and the dirt/dust in the wheel treads.

I enjoyed the build, it's my second Fujimi Stuka. I have an Airfix B-1 and a B-2 left to build, but it will be a while before I revisit Stuka land. Enjoy the pictures.

On a basic display I created years ago for a Bf109G-2 build.


With its desert brethren in my display cabinet. It is amazing how large the Ju87 is when compared to the Bf109, or even the Bf110.

A really nice result Joe. Really good work on the paint and decals. Looks great with the rest of the collection.

That's a great result. Masking the canopy must have been a fun job.
