So far it's working out fairly well. If I can find something to use for the right wing LG knuckle cover I think it will do alright. Fingers crossed!

I hope you have a happy birthday Peter.

Making some nice progress but still a long way to go.

Rear fuselage "fix" nearly done. It just needs a little more smoothing out in spots. I think the next move is to put the cockpit back in and then attach the fuselage to the wing/nose assembly. I looked on ebay to see if I could find someone selling the sprues that have the needed parts on them. No luck.

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that and will check it out. Thanks!

LOL Thank you Hubert. I'll figure something out.

I've never tried to do this before so we'll see how it goes. I think it's likely I won't be able to come up with some of the needed parts but I'll carry it as far as I can. The main part I haven't been able to dig up so far is the gear/wing knuckle piece (part #A28) for the right wing. Maybe someone here can send me one? 🙄

LOL I do have a lot of Corsair leftovers but nothing usable for that.

We'll see how it goes. 🙄

Just for grins, I decided to see if I could come up with enough leftover parts from my Hasegawa P-40 builds to try to assemble a near complete model. I've been able to get together most of what's needed but am still missing a few pieces but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I was surprised that I had so many parts left over that I could use! I'll have to construct a rear fuselage "plug" to get the tail piece to attach. Oh what fun!!! LOL

Complete. $125.00 plus shipping from N. Louisiana. PayPal okay. PM me if interested.

Thank you Carl. I appreciate the nice comment. 🙂

Thanks Paul! I'm happy you like it. Sure is a awkward model to handle while working on it. I must have bumped the wing tips on something half a dozen times! LOL 🙂

Thank you Kevin. I'm pleased that you like it. 🙂

Thanks Scott! Very much appreciated the nice comment. I'm glad you like the results of my efforts. 🙂

Finished! https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20445-ju-87g-completed/

Calling this one DONE! It's a very nice Hasegawa kit that has great detail and fit. The after market items are the seat belts and the PE sights on the rear guns. Decals are by EagleCals. I painted the model with Testor's Model Master enamels, inside and out. It's a pretty big model and is awkward to handle (I kept knocking the wing tips on something!).

Coming right along Paul. The painting has to be done in sections since it's such a big model (and awkward to handle). 🙂 Thanks for commenting! I appreciate it.

Painting coming right along.

Good progress today.

Thanks and thanks for the tip.

Yes indeed. The RAF fighter pilots had no problem with them.
