FULL BUILD - Academy JU-87G-1 Stuka "Tank Buster" 1:72 Scale Model Aircraft

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Love your pencil use for weathering. Quicker and it looks better.

[@petermathieson5692]

Now that was spectacular... and humbling. Such care. Such precision. Courage too. Don't think I'd have the nerve to gloss and then wash like that. Guess confidence come from experience. Great video too Tom.

[@TSYModels]

I appreciate the kind words Peter! I hope you're doing well!

[@mattendspiel9341]

Amazing build. The level of care and attention was mind blowing. Great choice of music too 😊

[@rimidalv256]

Astonishing artwork. Scorched and worn in battles, it looks better than the real one.

[@Duxdex]

wow You are an artist thumbs up

[@warwolfii]

I am an artist who has spent his life rendering warplanes and the men that fly them. I've never done models, but after seeing the craftsmanship of this particular modeler, I am struck by what an absolute work of art this is. It is one thing to assemble and paint a model. It is quite another to turn it into the realistic work we see here. I especially loved the application of the watercolor pencils and pastel chalk. Bravo! A splendid work of art.

Awesome build my friend and a lovely choice of music 🙌🙏

[@kylianbhoyrub93]

Dude, just wtf how is that possible, even the perfection that i imagined wasn’t as perfect as your creation

[@TSYModels]

I really appreciate that comment, thankyou! I try to show as many steps as possible in the video but always try and keep it simple and don't be afraid to experiment first before applying to the model

[@kylianbhoyrub93]

TSYModels great to know, keep up dude u rock

[@edwardrobison8629]

Amazing work at such a small scale. The glass in the gauges really blew my mind!

[@theblytonian3906]

Yes. Decent model at an amenably affordable price, but definitely for young eyes and hands in that scale. Watched this in my search for D or G in 1/48. Surprised by the dearth of Stukas in other than Bs in that scale. Italeri's 2010 new tool re-released with new parts as a D-5 and G-2 respectively in 2012 & 2013 and currently seems the pick from what's available in 1/48 out there so far, a bit scary really considering Italeri's market self positioning. I'll wait. Want better, and the price Italeri have pitched that kit at does them no favours.

Sir I salute you on such a great build Thank you for the post

some fabulous work using the photo etch.. lovely finishing too

[@caioapgs]

The way you used pastels and pencils for weathering has blown my mind, my mother used to make drawings and this made me discover I have a gold mine right here at home lol

[@JohnLVieira-t9d]

German aircraft are my favorites to build .I have several or more expensive ones in my extensive collection SWS series kits are by far the hardest to build. Trumpeter, Hasegawa and Tamiya are always my to go to Brands. ,but are constantly growing fast .Then there's Ryefield ,Academy, Meng. ,when it comes talking armor German aircraft and armor are always at the top of my gotta have it in my collection!. That is an awesome build keep up the great work .build and be happy and live to build . Vman.

[@Emtbtoday]

The music in this just caused an argument in my home! 😂 I'm absolutely speechless the wife just went nuts at the first part of the video that tune 😆 thought I'd just comment on it as its absolutely bonkers lol

[@TSYModels]

What was the context?? I have to know about this! I hope I didnt cause any drama....

[@raven1wing1]

Absolutely brilliant model & video. I do remember building a similar one in the 70's made by matchbox by

Amazing work, no fancy tools and still quality, very inspirational indeed😊👍

[@Swampmonster-uk]

fantastic build, enjoyed watching

[@pdstokes8]

This is a beautiful build made even more beautiful by the stunning music. Thank you.

[@fasold2164]

Are you on the modeller's payroll for typing some puff piece?

[@michaeldouglas3470]

Nice work! I especially liked your use of the colored pencils for weathering. I have not used those yet - may need to give them a try.

[@bobmorgan3485]

Superb build and the music is Incredible

[@Nocturno-vu6zs]

After watching this I got hooked and bought this same kit.

[@g.b.8445]

What a fantastic build, the background music is great too, thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and commenting! T

Excellent video & job building and painting your JU-87G-1 Stuka "Tank Buster"!

[@dr.doppeldecker3832]

Beautiful build!

[@sangdopalri349]

Gut gemacht.

[@terrygardner3031]

Beats the heck out of the kits I bought in the 60's I made a G model by adding p51 drop tanks, drilling out the large end and fitting finishing nails into the hole and glueing on. I was about 14 then times have changed, although the kits back then were onlly 50 cents Great build

[@TSYModels]

The rate at which kits seem to be improving is mind blowing, I want to get into scratch building a lot more and I do take a lot of joy from using an older kit.

[@rlr50]

Very nice work.

[@scottkut6622]

That was a lovely build. The music choice was sublime by the way. Since these Stuka's operated from barley improved runways, I will stuff those undercarriages with mud and grass, really dirty up the underside. I just received a 1/48 scale Tank buster for the holidays, so this video was very timely. KZbin algorithms at work!

[@scottkut6622]

I meant barely. Barley was in their post flight beverage. :(

[@chriskinney8947]

Yoooo the pencil for chipping effect was genius!!! I'm doing that only own stuka model no doubt, but its Zvezda snap kit

That is awesome Sir! Danke..

One word... Wow....

[@manuelbeltranmeza]

Sorprendente trabajo. saludos desde La Paz BCS Mexico.

[@wardonobasuki5693]

The Ju-87 is the best looking plane of all time. Your work is amazing. Einaudi's Nuvole Bianche makes it even better.

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

Incredible work! You sir, are an arr-teest!

[@robbo1068]

A beautifully painted and weather-worn Stuka.....great job...really enjoyed the build and Ludovico's music provided a pleasing background to it all 👌. All aspects are a great watch!

[@TSYModels]

Something slightly eerie about the music with this build also, Im glad you noticed the music! Thank you

[@ludwigvanzappa9548]

Cool video , cool music , than kyou !

Excellent Ju87 and a beautifully compiled vid

[@TSYModels]

Thank you.

[@MFKR696]

That, my friend, is some mighty fine work. My hat's off to you. That Disruptive-Camo job you did came out great. You also get extra brownie-points for that Ludovico Einaudi track playing in the background. Einaudi is one of my favorite composers. He's right up there with multi-voice composers like Hans Zimmer and Jerry Goldsmith in my books.

[@TSYModels]

Thankyou for the comment, yes I love Einaudi, I was fortunate enough to see him perform in Amsterdam and it was absolutely breathtaking.

[@S2Sturges]

Remarkable and painstaking work.....

[@carlosmaksdossantoscordeir7721]

They certainly do, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box on this!

Great music choice!

[@piloto5248]

JOB WELL DONE

[@kyleSD70MAC]

Great job on this! The Stuka is such a cool-looking plane, it's one of my favorites. I have a piece of one that took part in Operation Barbarossa, with some of the original yellow paint still on it.

[@TSYModels]

I couldn't believe the size of it when I saw the example at the RAF museum in Hendon, UK. I certainly wouldn't want to be in-front of it!

Great craft! Amazing! Why do you use glos varnish? Also how to make chipping effects permanent? I guess they might be wiped out, if you touch model? I’m novice

Inspiring stuff. I particularly liked how you used pencils and pastels to great effect. A fantastic end result. Thanks for posting.

The first time I have used them too and I was really happy with the result, definitely much better than using a sponge with silver paint on.

Nice build. Where do you get the painting scheme for the cockpit, as my instructions don't really give many information about it? I'm building the Academy 1/72 JU-87G-2 Stuka Kanonen Vogel.

[@simonwallace-tarry355]

Nice job!!

[@huwtindall7096]

Was thinking of getting a 1/72 Stuka and looking at the relatively new tool Airfix Ju 87-B but I do like the tankbuster version. scalemates says this was tooled back in 2002 so getting on in years. How was the build itself? Skipped over most of it in the vid focusing on the cocking and photo etch so assume no massive fit issues?
