Another project I have started in an effort to clear more of my boxes from the cupboard. The Tamiya Ju87G-2 is an Italeri mould, issued with Tamiya instructions and decals.

I didn't take photos of the cockpit or initial build, as it's pretty much the same as any other Stuka, except being a later version, it has the dark grey RLM66 interior colour. The fit isn't fantastic being Italeri, but comes up nicely under the primer.

RLM71 is on (Mr Color). It goes against convention, but I find it easier to paint the upper camouflage first on the Stuka, due to the tailplane struts. You could add the struts later, but the fit wasn't great, and I followed the process on my Fujimi Ju87B. It also means I can add the landing gear to the wings during construction and mask those off, instead of either masking around them later, or adding them at the end (fit again this case). I will put the wheels (not spatted in this case) on after the final steps.
