Custom Ju 87R

Post by Bruzzer » Fri Nov 26, 2004 10:16 pm

Hi Everyone,
After reading aferguson's post on 109 drop tanks I had an idea. I have an Osprey book "Ju 87 Stukageschwader of North Africa and the Med" that has a color profile of T6+CP with drop tanks. I just picked up the Galland and the color of the drop tank looks close to the Ju 87 snake. I already had the first 109 and that drop tank was a little darker. I snipped off the the attachment points of the drop tanks and elmer glued them on. I didn't want to mess up the Stuka and figured if I did want them on the 109's I could always glue them on. I put a couple of pictures on webshots. I like it, less than 1 hour of time and it gives the plane a different look. :)

Say... That Stuka looks pretty cool! It sort of reminds me of a Robert Taylor painting I saw once that featured a Stuka (with similar color scheme) that had the drop tanks.

that's a very good idea. I wouldn't worry about slight variations in the colours of the drop tanks. In fact that makes it more realistic..

I'm gonna do that myself.. :)

Good idea Bruzzer! It looks pretty accurate. Hey, can I add your profile of the Snake Stuka to the Profile Album? It's better than the one I got.

Hyperscale, Modelling Madness and Aircraft Resource Center have loads of good pictures and info. I visit them almost every day so I can see what all my models look like put together. :oops:
