1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Finished

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Working the Interior.

Ok here I go again.

Kind of a jump in progress this time around. Although it did seem to be more of one step forward followed by a dozen backwards.

First up, the interior got its paint. Gloss Grey followed by Alclad Chrome. I then went to work on the pit. First the color is Model Master RLM 02 Enamel. Some scratched parts for a number of reasons and then a shot of them together.

And then something I rarely do. Figures. I cleaned up and then sprayed Flat Black.

I shall, for the moment, call them Hans and Franz. Not sure they will end up in the final edition as the poses do not seem to fit very well with the interior.

That is really nice detailing work. :good:

Almost a shame to put the figures in as I suspect they'll obscure a lot of that great cockpit work.

Your scratch-building work is superb. Could you tell me how you worked out the correct shapes for the formers? Thanks

Many many thanks.

The bulkheads were formed by using a contour gauge to transfer the shape to paper and then the paper to transfer to plastic. Dry fitting the bulkhead allowed me to refine the shape.

How about a really quick update on the 1/24 JU-87. Still filling out the detail on the interior, this update shows Hanz and Franz are now occupying the positions that they are required to. There were some minor things like the Morse set that is just too small for me to get a good pic of and a couple of cables. I still need to add more cables and a cross brace. However I am getting anxious to get to painting. I know that the easiest way to do these is to paint the areas that have the cutaway prior to completing the closure of the fuselage. But even with the eagerness to paint I do not wish to run before I walk. I want to make sure all is as complete as I can get it. Thus the documentation of the very minor progress.

I must admit I am finding myself siting and staring at this build. I find myself wondering what Dan would do, how he would approach some of these things. Somewhere in the back of my mind I am sure of one thing. He would encourage to just do it.

Joe, keep at it although this is the day you usually are commemorating something else. ;)

Many many thanks.

Saul you are absolutely correct. I have spent a good deal of time in the last few days watching videos and looking at pictures. Some with a bit of sadness. I will never forget. I build to remember.

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 fabricate the two fuel cells and the inner bulkheads and such. In the outer wing the shinny round pieces are BB's and the larger blue pieces are craft beads.

Let the ribbing commence.

There they are in all their glory.

I do need to finish up a bit of the detail work but then I can go forward with the firewall and the engine compartment.
