Tamiya 1/72 Junkers Ju87G-2 Stuka

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.
Cheers Steven, will do
Thanks Tony. I started it as I ended the Warthog, so not super quick. The logistics GB entry has pretty much taken priority on the bench. The Academy kit looks really good, and probably a much better fitting build.
Applied the darker RLM70 today
Lovely splinter joe , must admit i’m not looking forward to masking up that canopy ! 
I'm hearing you Tony. It's the least favourite part of any build for me. I put on podcasts and/or music to relax myself mentally and then go for it.Lovely splinter joe , must admit i’m not looking forward to masking up that canopy !
I tend to hold my breath till i go a bit blue !
I am late to the party on this one Joe. Following along.
Forgot the RLM04 yellow tail band! Sorted...
Very nice so far Tony, have fun
Cheers Steven. JoeVery nice so far Tony, have fun
I do like the Stuka. Such an unusual aircraft. That looks a lot better with the yellow on Joe.
Cracking work so far Joe. Looking very nice indeed.
I've just joined in and it's nearly finished. Anyway, top work Joe. all looking splendid.
Cheers Steve. I got excited and forgot to paint the tail band before doing the top camouflage.
Cheers Ian
A way to go yet Colin. Hoping to get the RLM65 lower colour on soon
The Stuka will be getting a gloss varnish soon, so not long to go on this build.
