discussion Steve's Heller 1:24 JU87B Stuka.. Airfix Vintage Group Build

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Here are the pictures of the Heller Stuka. With a 22 inch wing span I now just have to decide where on earth am I going to put it. A full build thread is available in GB section "Airfix Vintage GB"










Thanks for looking.

She is looking good mate, I hope you have a shelf big enough for this beauty.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Thanks Paul.

That's a beauty. Pride of place on a big shelf.

That’s a real cracker of a model Steve, great job

I didn’t realise how large it was until you posted pics with the 1/72 kit next to it

Cheers Jim. I have built 3 Airfix 1;24 scale aircraft now, Spitfire and FW190, but this one is the most detailed of them all

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Thanks Geoff, yes it is a beast of a model.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Think I might just stick an engine on it and add it to my radio controlled collection. Thanks for the positive comments.

What a monster Steve, very nice work. Enjoyed watching your build. You've achieved a superb result from a very old kit.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Thanks Joe.

Had to laugh. I was looking at the Stuka yesterday and just had a feeling something was missing. I then realised that I had completely forgotten to paint on the black wing walk areas on both wings. So yesterday I got them masked and painted.


Now its finished.
