Italeri JU 87 B-2 Stuka

Donald Dickson II
This is my absolute favorite German WWII AC.

Chris Parsons
One full day into the build and it already looks like an aeroplane?! Amazing!

Patrick Hagelstein
A nice looking cockpit!

Spanjaard
nice, i just received mine a few days ago (tamiya rebox), so i am really interesting

Erik Leijdens
That is a good looking cockpit👍

Derek Jordan Forfatter
To be fair, I started at 8pm Friday night, built until midnight. Then worked from 10am until about 10pm on Saturday. I do think the cockpit came out pretty well. Thanks all for the compliments.

It's not a bad kit. It has more flash than I would like, especially from a "new tool" kit, but not bad.

Really nice start!

Patrick Hagelstein
That's a quick build! :-o

Bart Goesaert
splendid cockpit... what more can be said...

Derek Jordan Forfatter
I don't believe it is. I understand that it is a new tool Italeri mold. And, the quality is definitely not Tamiya.

Spanjaard
Tamiya reboxed the Italeri kit. i have the "tamiya" and it said clearly "aircraft parts are product of Italeri".
Tamiya added some decals, bomb cart. but everything else is Italeri.

Derek Jordan Forfatter
Spanjaard, would you be interested in selling me a part out of yours? I'll pay enough for you to get a replacement from Tamiya/Italeri. I already have another Italeri kit waiting on parts from Italy (12 weeks), and don't want to wait that long for this one.

Spanjaard
sorry, but i rather not. I can suggest to buy it from gundam in Japan. i got the tamiya one for the price of the italeri. then maybe you can sell the parts you do not need.

Derek Jordan Forfatter
Thanks anyway. I'll just order the replacement parts.

Roy McKenzie
Looks great so far. Too bad you had to cover up the engine.

Derek Jordan Forfatter
Roy, I agree. Although, if the engine was to be left exposed it needed much more work. I did that much just to assure that I got enough of it painted that could be seen.

Clifford Keesler
A nice looking WWII aircraft.

Spanjaard
i hope you got all your replacement parts at the end. it is going really well.

Bryn Crandell
One of my favorite WWII German A/C. Nice job so far. Keep'em coming.

Derek Jordan Forfatter
Thanks everyone! She's getting close, but will be put on hold while Italeri decides to send the canopy.

Clifford Keesler
Airfix is releasing a new tool one later this year, from what I have seen, it is going to be nice. I believe it is now aviabale for pre-order from Airfix USA.

Derek Jordan Forfatter
Clifford, that's interesting news. But, it's too late for me. I can't imagine I'll be doing a Stuka again anytime soon. 🙂

Erik Leijdens
Coming along very nice! 👍

Clifford Keesler
Your's is looking good.I will be grabbing up the new Stuka and their New P-40, they both look very nice.

Roy McKenzie
It's looking great.

Joey M
Looking like a real beaut she is!

Donald Dickson II
Wow! Very nice!

Spanjaard

Clifford Keesler
EXCELLENT JOB SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Derek Jordan Forfatter
Thanks!!! I'm pretty proud of it.

Donald Dickson II
As you should be! Great job!
