For those who were concerned about the lighting in this one - i recorded this video a few months ago - it's the white background and the dark plastic that is completely messing with the ISO on the camera - it wasn't until I had finished the build that I realised this - so from now on you might notice that I swapped to a black background to avoid this (like in my airbrush video and all the ones from next week). So this issue will have been resolved for future ones!
@@ModelMinutes You made a great video minus the ISO issues. Heck I 'm thinking I might move away from filming on a white background one of theses days. Both my cameras have trouble in capturing the white background & model ( like all sliver aircraft, painting white areas , and white sprues for obvious reasons etc) I spend a lot of time trying to color correct the white balance in both my footage & stills (in Photoshop & Premiere) for my videos. Anyway tanks for the food for thought Matt!
Oh your building a tiny version of my older brother he is always siting in his exhibit at the museum and now i shall sing the song of my people waaaaaaaa
I've build the Revell italeri rebox of the stuka. Its a very nice stuka kit. I've heard less good stories about this kit. But you still turned it into a master peace. Great job
before the pandemic i use to work in cruise ships them the pandemic come, i lost my job and my house my wife leave me and took few boxes with her, i had this kit and my favorite one the airfix bofors took me almost a year to find that bofors i really llike u videos you are helping me a lot,
im building this one right now and this video really helped me get an idea of the recommended colours as the instructions that come with the kit arent in colour ,and i would of only based it off the image on the box if i hadnt found this channel. Thanks Model Minutes! :)
Fantastic Model & Diorama Matt. I love seeing the Stuka under maintenance. It goes to prove one can still make a nice model out of an older kit with a little TLC
Nope not worried about the lighting and watching the build and you learning from your mistakes was enlightening and the build looks great and the Dio is Glorious!
Thank you su much for video. I completed my very first scale model this weekend and during building process I've rewatched the video many times. It was very helpful. I chose to paint my stuka with afrikabraun color. Its not historically accurate with the stickers but looks lovely
What a beautiful stuka. I remember the photo you uploaded some time ago. Really looking forward to it. I've heard that the airfix version is better because it's a new tool but I am kinda surprised that it got engine for the low cost(at least in my hobby shop). I am nearly done with my f-8 from academy, See you in the premier hopefully Matt!
I’d highly suggest trying black basing and the white highlight pre shading method. I’ve used it a few times and it really helps provide different colour tones in the final paint finish.
Great result... Did the same kit myself sometime ago and was a bit disappointed in it, but on reflection it is an ancient kit and inexpensive... I second your analysis on it entirely.
MATT ... this is excellent... VERY VERY NICE. I AM SOOOO JEALOUS... I’m saving this episode... I have all these products...no , I have the ACADEMY KIT...THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR WORK...CHRIS FROM OHIO ...yes I found it very informative...( found it) 🤣😂😅... thank you for the cultural differences..

Given that this bugger's routinely around 5-7Euros on Amazon, I'd say that it's at least "good for the price". The moulding quality definitely seems to vary quite a bit (which is unfortunately par for the course for cheaper Revells), though, 'cause I didn't see nowhere near as much flashing on mine as on MM's example. Still, for the price (though I'd shop around a bit, 'cause 10 quid is appreciably more than alternatives online) it has quite a bit of potential just like the FW-190 "F-8" (it's the same kit as the A-8, with extra parts) or the Bf-109 F-2.
I have to say Matt, that because I'm into old kits and a good challenge I actually want to build this one. I built the old Airfix Stuka twice and it was a nice model... As I do admire the Ju-87G-2 for it's effectiveness on the Eastern Front in 1944/45 especially with Hans Rudel who destroyed 517 Soviet tanks. I know you don't recommend it due to it's fit issues and slight build inaccuracies but would you say I should give her a go?
@@jasonmonk7336 the benefits of using a primer are that it can highlight areas that require filler/sanding as well as providing a "key" for future layers of paint to stick to. Sometimes I feel as though i don't need to do this step
I was going to suggest a technical drawing pen for canopy frames. Really thin ends and easier to control I'd think than a brush? The problem I suppose would be the colour match.
If I remember well there is a Waltersons Forces of Valor P-51D in 1/72 that also has a well detailed engine that can be exposed, the model is pretty well detailed overall, seems to be a great pick for a diorama with mechanics working. Edit: they also make a spitfire with the engine exposed as well.
This seems like a pretty poor old tool kit by modern stanards but well done on the end outcome! The new airfix tooling of the JU-87B is awesome. How different is the G tank buster to the B model? If no major changes to the fuselage etc then could look for the gun pods after market and stick them on the airfix kit. Obviously I want to do a 1/72 Stuka G but just waiting for a decent kit!
@@ModelMinutes Ah that makes sense :) It still came out very nicely. I like the diorama a lot! Albeit the 76 scale figures are a bit tiny next to a 72nd scale plane :)
@@marcusaureliusantoninusaug2161 They might look small - but they aren't actually far off. If you look up a real Ju87 you'll see that the wing root where it meets the fuselage is head height on the ground - which it is in the dio! :) Edit: I just worked out that for a 6ft person in 1/72 scale is 25.4mm tall, whilst in 1/76 it's 24mm tall. So that's only 1.5mm difference which is almost nothing
Speaking of fit and finish, how does this bugger compare to something like the Airfix "vintage" kits, as this Stuka is based on a similarly old mould (mid-70s if SM's to be believed)? Also, love the video and I have a suggestion for the antenna wire - give an UV-activated glue a try as an alternative to the Humbrol, as it eliminates the worry that the "wire" (lately I'm using thin nylon fishing line instead of the classic excess sprue and candle route, as it's far less likely to trigger a smoke detector AND wifey at 3AM :D ) will sag while it's curing :D
Thanks for the tip! Yes, this is similar to the "vintage" range of airfix kits - just not marketed as such. I'd say this is probably on the poorer end of the scale though, seeing as some of those vintage kits are actually quite good!
I built the same kit, and dear god it had so much flash and alot of the bigger pieces such as the wings and fuselage didn't fit very good at all. If you want a 1/72 Ju 87 tank buster go with the academy
@@ModelMinutes I wouldn't say that Airfix is actually advertising their vintage kits as such either (thanks again to the fellow youtuber that clued me in about the meaning of the -v suffix in their kit id's). Honestly, it feels like most manufacturers are pouring their resources towards the enthusiast-grade kits (ie the 1/35, 1/48 range), with the 1/72 and 1/144 being becoming a race towards the bottom with reboxed older moulds, iffy plastics and overall worse QC for the (shrinking) mass market (which isn't doing the hobby any favours, as a lot of people are left unsatisfied by their first kits and don't try ... something more). Still, at least neither is anywhere near as bad as KP (trying to make the MiG-15 UTI or the Avia B.35 fit together is a positively sisyphean level of torture).
@@bk109 Ummm, yes. The kits in the "vintage classics" range are the ones with the V's on the codes - thats how you know it's a vintage kit. They literally have a range marketed as such - check out some of my unboxings for more info. That's not to say they dont still market the occasional kit that is an old tooling as a normal range - but they are migrating all their old ones to the vintage series.

I'm building one myself. Lot of putty for covering gaps and fitting issues. I think it's kind of challenge for experienced modellers....This and PM Models......
That would certainly help you, i'm not aware of any such product though - everything seems to be clear. You might be able to add pigments to some liquid cement though? I know you can buy pigments for epoxy resin and things like that, but not sure how they would react with the cement . . .
Apparently the German crews /really/ hated the siren as it was continuous as they flew, in a dive or not. Later Stukas had a selectable siren so the pilot could switch it on and off. [Also the name Jacob's Trumpet was a later idea.]

Now don't get me wrong the Germans we're brilliant when it came to technology and Design for the day but this particular aircraft looks like it's been on heavy drugs for a long period of time and neglected to eat .. the fuselage is spindly and skinny with a big bulbous canopy . (somebody get this airplane a cheeseburger).....🤔😄 Awesome build my friend !
