1/32 Trumpeter JU87G-2

[handiabled]

I built this a ways back and it now resides at the Richard Bong Veterans Center in Superior Wisconsin. I can't find the build pictures due to a computer switch over and flash drives and a hard drive disappearing from where I had put them. The open gun bay on the wing was left to show the mg's removed with the placement of the gun pods

Thanks for looking!

   Oh come on now stop, you are giving me another reason for a domstic dispute.   That Stuka is one I have been drooling over for YEARS looks better on your shelf than in my stash. The ORIGINAL tank buster .
 Love it......don't worry, I'll figure something out to restore domestic bliss.....maybe a new puppy.

Complete perfection with just the right degree of weathering!

Richard Bong Veterans Center eh? Do you think they would be interested in having this?

The veteran I built it for passed away and not sure if the son still has it but I will ask.

Very sharp! I didn't realize that they still put bombs on the G in addition to the podded AT guns.

Smooth 'n sweet very good work sir. They sure were an ugly aircraft; evidence that form follows function

Man, and here I was thinking that I liked the way they looked. Lol. This is breathtaking work Brent. The weathering is amazing. I just love everything about what you've done with it. Thank you for posting this up on here.

I saw this yesterday but was busy repainting our dining room (as well as other honey dos around the house) and didn't get back to it. BUT.......I'm back today with a vengeance. To say that the Stuka is already one of my all-time favorites in the Luftwaffe realm of aircraft would simply be an understatement. That said, a WELL-BUILT replica of one of my all-time favorites takes it to a whole different level. This is exactly that Brent. As perfect as it gets in every way. That's how it's done right there!!

That's my favorite version! Your work on the cockpit blew me away.

Thank you!  Puppies work every time and if not just blame us and say it was peer pressure

Thank you for the kind words! It is possible they would like this for display it looks great! I will pm you info on how to contact them via internet.

This is when the head of maintenance snuck me up in the restored replica "Marge" P-38J

Thanks Carlos! That was something that I learned in the building process of that one as well.

Thanks Kyle! I like to dirty the Luftwaffe birds a bit. They had a tough life

Thanks Bro! So my question is what rlm color did you go with? As you know houses built before 2003 were usually rlm02 but after were primarily rlm66

Good idea. I’ll be doing this when we repaint our ceiling. 🤣
