I did this build on the JU-87 Stuka flown in Derna, Libya (North Africa) during the summer of 1941 roughly a year ago.
This Airfix kit came together beautifully, with only a few minor hiccups. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in building a Ju-87 in the near future.
Along with the kit, I also utilized Eduard detail set and seat belts.
All paints used were Tamiya:
RLM-02 interior. To achieve this, I combined Tamiya XF-22 + XF-49 1:1.
RLM-65 underside. To create the RLM 65, I mixed 2 parts Tamiya XF-23 and 1 part XF-2.
RLM-79a top. I achieved by using Tamiya XF-60
Overall I am satisfied with how the build turned out, but will say I think I left my panel lines too dark. I thought the varnish would dull it more than it did. By the time I decided it was too dark, I had already applied decals and couldn’t remedy the issue.
The decals were exceptionally hard to find. It took me roughly 6 months of combing the internet until I found some small model shop in CZ
