- In this video I restore a 1970s Dinky 721 Stuka JU87 Divebomber which has been very abused and is missing its canopy, bomb, bomb release mechanism, propeller, tail wheel and is bent out of shape.
So I replace everything bar the tail wheel as its part of the main casting and I bend the whole diecast aircraft back into shape using a heat gun. This actually does no harm to the paintwork but the remaining decals do melt but as they are ruined already i am not concerned about it.
Then i give it a more realistic paint job and new transfers.
This model was brought out as a movie tie in with the 1969 film Battle of Britain from 1969.

A very tidy restoration on a model which, I think, nearly every UK kid had - along with the Spitfire. The original bomb, which had a slot to add a percussion cap, had quite a realistic destructive force. Dropped from a decent height, it could do quite a bit of damage to plastic Airfix stuff - would surely be an "adults only" toy nowadays, or the bomb would be made of plastic/polystyrene/foam. Got to protect today's precious little dears !!🤔
I noticed several comments on the volume on your videos. I find you pretty easy to listen to, without cranking my volume up too far; actually makes a pleasant change from the more usual ranting and shouting.
I've watched a few of your videos now and you just gained a new subscriber. I like the "slightly different" choice of subjects.
Cheers for now,🍻
Dougie.
Yeah lots of modelling sites have loud music intro
Had one of these along with the Spit. Bad toy for a hyperactive youngster...first to go were the propellers. I did enjoy them however and that was the point. Will eventually seek out the pair for old times sake.
Even with volume full up I can barely hear you. Please SPEAK UP!
Agreed. Barely audible on my Samsung smartphone.
You might ad a "please" please.
why do you whisper?
WERE IS THE SVASTIKA???....WHATS WRONG WITH YOU..DONT BE AFRAIND THAT SYMBOL..PEOPLE ARE BAD OR GOOD NOT THE SYMBOLS ...........
I have to tell you that you have put the German markings on top of the wings to far in ,they should be further along towards the end of the wings ,you wouldn't find that on a real Stuka.
I think he's talking that low because its using a Harrier to restore a Junkers Stuka...dont wanna be accused of betraying i guess :)
Beautiful resto mate....The volume on my machine is perfect. I liked the idea of the heat gun.
What a great toy that Ju87b was! It, and the Spitfire 1a, were released to coincide with the late 1960's movie 'The Battle Of Britain'. They were among the 'Must Have' toys of 1968/69. The Stuka's bomb was a cap-firing, heavy little diecast piece, that, if released whilst 'flying' your Stuka, would go through a window with ease.
YOU HAVE THE MARK OF THE [ SPIT ] WRONG ,IT IS A MK 2 , NOT A MK 1a.
@@robertgarrett4046 - A Mark II has cannon, as it was thought that the .303 machine guns did not inflict enough damage. The Dinky toy was labelled a 1a, although it could have been any version up to a mk V.
No swastika ?
In Germany every nazisymbol are forbidden to be shown in public, even on models like this. The Swastikas where historical correct, yes, but not allowed in our time in Germany in no way. (In privat it is o.K. but not i public exhibiton!) With the swastikas on it this video couldn't be shown in Germany.
There was a swastika on the front of the fuselage at the beginning of the video and then it mysteriously disappeared.
The replacement transfers had them but i left them off as the symbol is too toxic and as Udo says in some countries the video could be banned by TH-cam.
Restauração incrível! Parabéns! 🎖
Nice job. I do think you could increase the voice volume a bit. And at 3:42, it seemed like the tail was still bent to the left a bit, looking from above, or was that the camera angle? I could not verify as on later shots it was never seen from straight above.
Hi the tail was straightened in 3 steps i didnt show them all as my head got in the way too much :) but it was straightened properly
@@diecastrescue3597 Ah, that explains why it seemed still bent in the beginning, but on the final reveal it seemed ok, at least from the angles that it was shown.
Very tidy job. Well done
the bomb catch and trigger are modified box cutter trigger
what it just turned from broken to new
I actually have on of these stukas.
It still has all the original parts (other than the bomb, which was lost a long time ago).
Very nice restoration, the plane looks awesome, but you sounds so quite! Please turn up the volume of your microphone.
I used to have this one, but the bomb had a spring nose which you could put a cap in :)
yes you cant get that now as a new spare part but occasionaly old ones are on ebay
Wonderful work on this Stuka, congrats, looks splendid at the end!
I just subscribed..
I had both of those. Stuka was one of the favourites. Liked the. Shape.
Brilliant job
One set is stickers
Super bombowiec, dobra robota.
Really impressive restoration and another Dinkey Toy saved from the dustbin. Job well done. a small suggestion that if you have to mask a model I find that a coat of clear varnish seals the masking tape and prevents bleeding when applying a different colour.
Nice work
I'm like
Speak up lad,
Some of us are a bit mutt n Geoff................
What wtf saying he not speaking clearly !
Having to use maximum volume just to hear you, nice video though .
DUDE to cool great job.....love your work.....makes us remember our youth.....kids today can see how we played with out the computer games....PBS(please be safe)
Great video...and you have such a soothing voice too! :)
OMG 😮 love it, very awesome work 👍🏻
🔥🤘🏻
Excellent job, although you could of applied the dark green freehand?
I could have done but as i had sprayed the rest of it i thought it would have looked inconsistent to mix the paint techniques :)
It looks like it was shot down at the beginning.
Good job BUT you were obviously too scared to put the tail decals on. Modern politics is pretty sad when you didn't fully restore the model and if you daren't do it properly why bother in the first place? These are on eBay with the proper decals on so it's not that big a deal obviously.
Well done sir.
While others say it was difficult to hear you, I very much enjoyed you calm cadence.
Very nice restoration.
My humble offering would be to paint the bomb to a more correct period finish.
Thank you
I can hear you just fine FYI. I personally like your volume and your tone of voice...very relaxing. Don't take it the wrong way but I do like coming across channels that I can put on to help me fall asleep.
If you dip the canopy in clear floor wax, such as Future..
The clear plastic will look more like glass..
15:23 easily part of the toys to tie in with the 1969 "Battle of Britain" movie.
Outstanding work all round , looks great.
Nicely done... another one rescued!
Super job !!! Very nicely restored and detailed. You can be very proud of bringing that one back from the aircraft boneyard ...
When applying stickers, not tranfers, holding them with tweezers gives you a better view of what you're doing.
Var goot!
Nice job! One small thing. The Germans never painted the tips of their propellers. Props were
usually black green.
Hello have been inspired by your channel. I picked up 3 Dinky aircraft from FB market place (£10) but a bit rough, could you recommend a spares supplier please?
Well done you can try www.model-supplies.co.uk/ they are also on EBay I have used other suppliers on ebay and not been disappointed.
I can’t believe I haven’t found your channel before today! Enjoyed this video very much sir. Subscribed.
with the masking tape.stick it to the back of your hand first.then apply to the model this will stop the paint lifting.and not affect the sealing of the tape.
German planes did not have yellow tips on the props but it looks great
The actual crosses on the underside of the wings were slightly different from those on the top side. But anyhow a freat job! Thanks for this video.
Nice finish. Well done
Nice resto great color camo on the plane better than new job well done
A really enjoyable makeover- I have one ( a Stuka) in a cupboard somewhere.Brings back boyhood memories. I would like to see you continue with other aircraft from the series,i.e. bf 109, Thunderbolt, Hurricane...and some custom paint schemes...well done, an enjoyable channel!
Frankly i would love to do the other planes but i cant afford them :) but i have seen a zero going cheap with no internals and i have a spare motor so if i can get it that might be the next plane
Car restorations are great, but I love that you tried something different.
Regarding the painting scene, I don’t want to watch you paint in real time, but I’d like to still watch it. Would you consider 2x or 3x. The choppy speed was hard to watch.
Regarding the restoration itself: I’m wondering about painting the windows. You may be right that it would have been to much....but I don’t know. I kind of want to see it.
I hope I didn’t offend you with my criticisms. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I subscribed and I look forward to more content.
Not at all constructive criticism is always welcome i do say i am not an expert :) I have another dinky airplane so if you like on that one i will paint the glass its two or thee videos off i think. I am still trying to figure out what people want to see if anything and at what speed i do try to keep things brief.
Can i have the damaged harrier maybe (probably not)
I too am having difficulty hearing you, however what I can hear and the wonderful work you are doing has gained you a new subscriber. Thanks for an interesting and entertaining restoration.
Thank you i am not the best sound and video tech in the world you might have noticed :)
It's a vast improvement. Nice job
Beautiful restoration on a beautiful aeroplane. Really impressive.
Fantastic restoration! Very enjoyable tutorial, thank-you.
Still have the 2 Stukas and a Spitfire we got back in '69. Missing a bomb and a cracked canopy on one. Tail wheel missing from the Spitfire and electrics need sorting. They came with different sets of plastic stick on markings so you could have a choice.
When painting yellow, spray a light coat of white first. The yellow will not seem as transparent. Same if you are doing an orange colour too.
A nice restoration on a very well used(abused) model.
after grey primer it looks like Airfix
Good job! I remember these as a nipper....my brother had this and I had the Spit. I seem to remember that there was a motorised prop on the Spitfire. Interesting that you can get spares. My grandson would love one. Hmmmmm.....
HI and thanks yes you can get replacement parts i got mine from www.model-supplies.co.uk/
plz speak up i am not in the mood for asmr
Need to order swasticka decals for tail (available from USA)
No SWASTIKAS on the tailfin?
Looks like this stuka hit hard
Great detailing well done.
Do you ever come across the lower wing for a Dinky ME109 ??
No i have not sadly i never had a 109 a future project for sure :)
A WW2 German Messerschmitt
it looks really gut good work
Great job on the Stuka looks good 👍
Work of art nice job
Nice work. If i'm being picky the Germans didn't put yellow tips on their props.
Good point!
@@diecastrescue3597 It's always a personal point whether to paint accurately to known colour schemes or as Dinky originally did. I think your scheme looks good. Dinky had just the one colour green and never painted the exhaust stubs in a different colour so the extra detailing is effective. I'm currently doing up one myself.
Wow! Great job!
Perfect!!
Beautiful restoration well done 👍 Looks amazing.
Really nice job, I was impressed by the straightening of the airframe but a little saddened to see a Harrier get parted out...
Thanks are you sure about your name and logo TH-cam has an impersonation policy you might fall foul of.
@@diecastrescue3597 Yeah I felt a bit of a twinge when I noticed your channel name as well... my channel is a branded channel off my primary channel, the name and logo are about 12 months old with my earliest recorded comment/post in BaremetaHW's video (linked below), earliest watch history is about a month prior to that.
th-cam.com/video/fRpt5EQ01HQ/w-d-xo.html
Oh well i might have to change names then
@@diecastrescue3597 They say great minds think alike... what are the odds that we would have similar ideas? Happy to share 👍
I mean I only just found out (today) there was Mr Rescue in this Diecast repair niche...
