Airfix 1/72 Ju87 Stuka Dive Bomber (Full Build)

Video showcasing me building the Airfix 1 72 Ju87 Stuka Dive Bomber scale model kit. Brush painted with a combination of Humbrol and Revell enamel paints. The display stand is not included with this kit and was hand crafted using general household waste. As the J87 was a dive bomber I wanted to display it entering a dive.

That's a good neat Ju 87 build. Nicely done and presented.

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Looks Great!👍👍👍

Thank you!

Great work

Nice build.

Hey! Nice to see another video coming from your direction. And by the way the Stuka is just great, wayyyy better than mine and I think you did a great job with the paintwork and the stand is really cool. And once again good luck on the way to 💯 subs!!!

[@therealdrimdrady5614]

Thank you! I could have done better with the paintwork - first time using humbrol enamels ..not as easy or as good as revell l, which is what I'm used to. I also couldn't get hold of any yellow for the propeller so it's technically not complete yet. But as always thanks for watching. More to follow..

Could you make a video on how you make the stand?

[@themodelmaniac8853]

Nice video and model

[@kevinthorpe8435]

I've always wanted to build one of these. Thanks for making it look so easy.

[@archiedenning7496]

Great model! You wouldn't mind giving more details with the stand as it's a good idea with it making the Stuka more realistic. Like did you drill a hole in model at start/end to make it more strong? Thanks 🙌

[@huwtindall7096]

Nice! Doing the painting with a brush as part of a challenge or not yet got yourself an airbrush or even rattle cans? How'd you make the stand? I thinking about how to make some for a few 1/72 aircraft models I just built. Done plenty of armour but no planes till now so sorting a display stand is a whole different ball game (at least if it's undercarriage up!). Looks like a coffee pod and bit of coathanger wire? Simple but effective!

[@therealdrimdrady5614]

Hi thanks for watching! I do have an airbrush however this model required colours I could only find in Humbrol enamel (couldn't find an alternative on conversion charts). I don't know if you've ever used Humbrol enamel but they're very thick/gloopy and generally not the easiest to use in my opinion. So I played it safe and used a brush. Sometimes I like just using a brush anyway. There's merits to both. Re the stand - just scrap materials. Nespresso pod and a scrap piece of sprue. Filled the pod with clay for weight. I'll do a quick video on it eventually. I prefer the look of retracted landing gear (obviously not possible on this model) so I'm going to put some of my older builds onto these stands

[@huwtindall7096]

@@therealdrimdrady5614 ah no never used Humbrol and try to stick to acrylic for simplicity too so I may never try Humbrol now! I'm not a fanatic on the brand of colours as long as it's close enough I'll stick with Vallejo or even Citadel paints too for some non camo colours. I may have to give your stand method a go. Plenty not pods and sprue about!

Hi, i like your construccion of Stuka, but ¿what is ours colours you used?

[@markolajesic7359]

Nice job. Which primer did u use?

[@therealdrimdrady5614]

Hi thanks for watching. I tend not to use primer. However I wish I had - I had a real issue with the hombrol paints not wanting to adhere to the plastic.

[@markolajesic7359]

@@therealdrimdrady5614 I also have a problem with humbrol paints, so I tend to use revell's. I just got that very same JU-87 kit so your video was very helpful.

[@chriselmes6810]

@@therealdrimdrady5614 You say you had issues with the paint not adhering to the plastic. Its not shown in your video, but did you wash the parts with warm water with a little washing up liquid and rinse to remove the mold release lubricant ?

[@jdjimenezvelazquez5573]

Good work. Very nice. It would be great if you find two swastikas for the tail for a more realistic model. I see that include decals for Legion Condor of Spanish civil war. 👍

April 16th 2021... just seeing this... I have this kit... NICE JOB...brush painting it , that looks good...like the DIVE BOMBING stand... Suggestion... a 3/4 block of wood... Painted black / with a wire coat hanger for a stand... also some clear plastic from a store bought product... make a disk with diameter of the propeller...to make it look like it really is flying...YOU’LL KNOW WHAT TO DO... I have faith... STILL A NICE JOB.... CHRIS from OHIO

[@therealdrimdrady5614]

Thanks for watching Chris. Yes I've seen this done before! It looks way more aesthetic than what I have produced but I just couldn't find the materials and wanted to get this finished quickly (as my desk is supposed to be used for working from home, not building scale models!)

[@user-du6yr1qx5d]

Очерь красиво!Но...все портит ,стоящий, винт...Нужно было купить готовый прозрачный диск...или самому вырезать из прозрачного пластика...была бы полная илюзия полета!🎉

[@fasold2164]

Color RLM 71 is too dark, so the upperside paintwork looks a bit gloomy, the light color of the MG 15-barrel looks a bit odd. And there is a bit silvering beneath the fuselage decal, otherwise a well built model.

[@OgrabliatorKorovanov]

kindda weird to see stuka "diving" without pilot in cockpit

[@larry8910]

It’s not real bro

[@jeanmicheldelcambre6205]

Il est dommage que le groupe Airfix ne renvoie pas de pièces quand celles ci sont perdues, défectueuses ou manquantes. Les demandes restent sans réponses. A croire qu ils se moquent des clients. Airfix à bien changer.
