Hasegawa 1/32 Junkers Ju 87D-8N

By Iain Mackenzie

Here is my latest offering of Ju87D-8(N) E8+HH that was operated by 1./NSGr.9 during the second quarter of 1944 near Florence, Italy. It was lost in action on 7th July 1944.


Aftermarket used:

The final camo pattern and colours are a bit of a departure from the kit call-outs, but the rationale behind the decision came because of actual photographic evidence which can be found in my build thread in the Work in Progress forum.


The scribble camo was intimidating; it was the first one I've ever done! In the end I think I was a bit too over-cautious though. If I tried that again I would break out my Micron and really get in super-tight. The biggest challenge, though, was trying to get the paint/thinner mix correct.


It was a nice build overall; it is great having a big Stuka in the collection now!!
