Junkers Ju 87 B-2

[Baron]

Hi folks!

My newest project: A series of Junkers Ju 87 profiles. I started with the Junkers Ju 87 B-2. The profile is nearlly finished. I just have to add some small details.

After finishing I will convert the B-2 to a D-3 and later to the D-5 and G-2 versions.

Cheers, Simon

Wauw! Looks good! Will these images also be sold as large prints?:)

[Sapper]

Looks great, very nice.

[Baron]

Thank you for the compliments!

@Niels, At the moment I'm not sure if these Ju 87 profiles will be available as large prints. If yes I let you know.

[Lurtz]

Looks nice. My 2 cents - the spec on the tail fin looks really fat and wide which makes the tail itself to look fat.

[Baron]

Lurtz, you are right, so I reworked the tail fin.

Here the first steps of the conversion to the Ju 87 D-3 version.

Have reworked the main landing gear, the brace of the tail unit and started to model the canopy.

[Baron]

Next step of my conversion. Cockpit is finished now! I just have to paint the MG 81 Z.

Nice going.

Will you also do one of those nightfighter models with big pipes over the exhausts?

[Baron]

Nice going.

Yes! I will do some D-5's flown by NSG 9. I also plan some G-2's with flamedampers fown by Luftflotte 4.

Small update:

Engine 90% finished! Exhaust cover is illustrated as seen on early built D-3's.

I also converted the B-2 to the earlier B-1.

Changes: exhaust pipes, smaller radiator

Looking good baron! :)

[Baron]

Thank you for the compliments! Here is a detail shot (25% of original size). As it's just a short time project the detail work isn't amazing.

Hi folks!

In the meantime I have converted the B-2 to the D-3, D-5 and G-2 and have finished more than 30 Ju 87 profiles at the moment. As they are for a publication I can't show them here, sorry! G-1 is finished as well but I can't find pictures showing the complete markings. Maybe someone can help.

I also started to rework the B-2 to the A-2. Here is the first preview.

Colours: RLM 61/62/63/65, national markings all early style

Cheers

Nice going Simon! The A model is one ugly mother... :)

[Supah]

Nice work Simon! :)

[Baron]

Yes, have to agree with you. :lol:

[Lukem]

Nice work! Looking forward to seeing the nightfighter variant.

[Baron]

Nice work! Looking forward to seeing the nightfighter variant.

Not nightfighter, but "Nachtschlächter". Ju 87 D-3N and D-5N were just used for ground attack raids.

I will show some in the gallery soon.

[Baron]

Another small update. Fuselage is finished.

Nice update - the engine cover looks nicely defined now.
