1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Chips and Grime. Many many thanks all. Much appreciated. MP thank you. I did go back and tone that one down a bit. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Chips and Grime. Back with a quickie type of update. A couple of hours has been spent with oils, paint, and pastels. Streaking, chipping, and a bit of grime and streaking is the result. To be honest it is not over the top. I had to make sure I didn't take it too far...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Legs and VROOOOOM Many thanks Alex. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Legs and VROOOOOM Many many thanks. MP you are right. Needs a wash or three to get the details to show though. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Legs and VROOOOOM Well I have been a bit fortunate in that I have had some quality time at the bench over the last couple of days. With that how about an update. The Stuka now has her main legs as well as her engine. I did add a few things to the frame and the...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B On to the Engine Many many thanks. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B On to the Engine We have progress. Yes my friends we have progress. The pictures show the tale. The fuselage and wings are attached. The gaps, and there were some interesting gaps, were puttied and then sorted. The paintwork was then touched up. While I waited...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Gap and Putty Show You have all been so encouraging and so kind in your comments. I am humbled. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Gap and Putty Show Time for just a very brief update. Big news as the fuselage is now closed and the inner wing sections are attached. Not so happy news is the gaps for the fuselage halves and the wing roots were at the very least and eighth of an inch in width. This...

Many many thanks. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Some Color After nearly two weeks of being sick I am able to show a bit of progress. I began the process of preparing to get some color on the build. I did this just a bit different than previous builds. I began with a Gloss Black base. I then shot Alclad Polished...

Many many thanks. Joe

Here we are. 2017. A new year with new hopes and dreams. It is time however to finish something off. In July I began my annual tribute to those who died and to those who survived the attack on Hawaii, December 7, 1941. Although it began much like the previous issues it ended a bit...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Good Nature Ribbing You are all very kind and I am very late to reply. I have several drawings found online that show different versions of the aircraft cut away. I am trying to make the structure look similar to what I am seeing in those. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Good Nature Ribbing Many many thanks. Today was a productive day. The day began with the skeleton of two pieces of wing and one tail feather. It ends with ribs and details. The ribs are a mixture of .010 x .040, .020 x .020, and .010 x .030 strip. I began to...
