As a young teen I loved building WW2 aircraft kits. Can't even count how many I had. The Stuka was my favorite. Toward the end of my hobby teen years I had so many extra parts from so many kits in a box that I was able to custom build my own airplane designs from imagination. Haven't touched a model kit in 40 years but vids like this spark the desire to do one more, a 1/32 scale stuka.
Very nice build; thx for your video! I agree with your conclusion regarding too much "chipping." RLM paints and painting derectives were among the very best in WWII, providing the Luftwaffe with better chipping & fading resistance than any other nation. Except for the "Anton" & "B-1" variants, which used "narrow" chord metal propellers, all later Stuka variants used wider chord wood props. These propellers had a linen-type fabric fused to the blades' outer surfaces, and then a very narrow brass protective strip screwed onto each blades' leading edge, before final paint. So, these wood props would not exhibit any "silver" metal chipping or finish wear, such as would be seen on aluminum or steel prop blades. Additionally, all Axis countries had to extremely conserve their strategic alloying metals, so their aircraft exhaust manifolds were manufactured with very little/no chromium or nickel content. This was a "luxury" only US & GB enjoyed, meaning "rust" corrosion was seldom in evidence on their manifolds. I do think there is a current fad in the model world of overdoing wear and grime. I believe in the adage: "less is more". Most aircraft did NOT look as if they flew nonstop through sandstorms, and then burning oilfields, covering them with grime & wear from wingtip to wingtip. : )
Congrats! I receive yesterday my Trumpeters Ju87...and now i have to learn from your video to built it by your way! But you are a master and i am a poor amateur!
When the Revell kit came out in the 1970's it was the state of the art for the time. I built the one in the 70's that had the snake that ran the entire length of the fuselage. It really was not bad a kit at all. You really can't compare the two. I could take that old Revell kit and with scratch building, out do that Trumpeter kit by a country mile. But most people are assemblers and not builders and don't want to put that much effort into a model.
Two thumbs up! Weathering, its your plane, make it what you want! Towards the end of the war, these birds were really beat up. Stay safe, model on, as max would say.
You should use a sponge when doing chipping. Look at the belly of the plane. All the chips look the same. All of them. And you should be mindful of places that would chip. You have chips in places that wouldn't normally chip and they are so spread apart, it looks like a pattern.
Nice chipping technique, but indeed little overdone. Especially considering the plane is otherwise very clean, such heavy chipping would probably look better on a plane with more smudges, dust deposits etc. Also in such big scale it would be better instead of using decals to use masks and have at least insignias and letters painted. Big decals never look good and German insignias are rather easy to airbrush even in 1/48, making it super easy in 1/32. You can even buy precut masks for this model and they are cheaper than decals. And one last thing, you haven't weathered bombs at all and those would be perfect target for heavy chipping and weathering, because in real world their rust protection was generally minimal and storage conditions on field airfields questionable at best. There is a lot of WWII era pictures showing heavily worn out bombs being used.
the amount of chipping that you have produced could only come if the aircraft had been engaged in operations over salt water for extended periods of time. this would make sense if the aircraft was flying in the mediterranean or over Britain. but you've built an eastern front machine. so where could this aircraft get such chipping? was it based in Murmansk, or the northern front along withJG 5 Eismeer?or in Norway? i dont think so. stuka operations were in central russia...perhaps the aircraft was operating over the crimea? it would have to be,.. but even then, stukas were not flying much over the Black Sea or Caspian sea... i think that you have made a mistake here... repaint the model and reduce trhe chps by 90%... nevertheless, you have created a museum piece...
@@paulwoods7857 sorry.if he's going to present his model to the world, like any artist, he must withstand criticism. i've already said that he has created a museum piece. so what the fuck are you whining about?
My first impression: the color flaking is completely exaggerated. Color RLM 71 was more a greyish green, not olive as with your model. The exhaust stubs are clearly too small. The color of the SC 1000 bomb is too dark, it should be pale blue RLM 65, not that fantasy color...
@@nvmodels3910 Well, I watch videos on TH-cam mostly without sound, that means, I didn't hear that - but I can understand that "overdone" when doing things the first time ( I by myself did it already several times ... ) My text was influenced from my experience with that - nevertheless is that Model a real well done, superexakt work ! I am just working on a Ju 87 with cannons in 1 : 32 .... it was very helpful for me, to watch your video - thank you for that.

Wow, enjoy your building of stuka! :)

Amazing work for a great model of the German ju-87 👍

Excellent job building & painting your Trumpeter Junkers Ju87B-2!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻nice build I have in revell vintage 1/32 awaiting build but I'm looking aftermarket eduard cockpit set
I build the original 2/32nd scale 'Stuka' kit in the 60s...a Revell kit...
Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You are getting better🛩✈️
It looks great. Better than the old Revell model at the same scale ! Nice work !

Really nicely done model, excellent build and painting. But the chipping doesnť have much sense to me, it looks like covered with snowflakes :)
It's to make the plane look worn out
@@TaraPlayz I completely understand the purpose, but it doesn't look realistic.
@@herrlogan17 I bet by 1942 that they looked worse.
Nice work but I would have skip the chipping (a little bit overdone)
Very nice. Beautiful model.
Beautiful job, keep up the good work! 👍
Great work from UK👍
Amazing work!
Amazing work, very beautiful. Howefer, I can not recognize the chipping. Did you have som reference photos?
Two thumbs up!
Weathering, its your plane, make it what you want! Towards the end of the war, these birds were really beat up.
Stay safe, model on, as max would say.
Very nice big fan of the stuka
i think you did well would like to have seen more weathering but good build hope you get to do more
I'm busy with IL2M3 now.
Thanks
beautiful work!
Masterfully done model!
Nicely done
It turned out great. I actually think all the chipping makes it looks like it's an old warhorse that has somehow survived from 1939.
Amazing job!!
nice job, well done.
Super
So cool~~~~~~~~~
Amazing, please do a Fw 190 D9
It is easy to get carried away with the chipping. A little less nex time!
Well done...😀😀😀😀

Nice model, nice work. You are right a little bit too much chipping.
Nice 👍
imo some chippings look out of place, like some from personnel took a brush and painted 'em for some purpose
That's in Kampen!
Ja dat klopt. Mijn lieve Kampen.
I seen Bali scenery back ground..😅
👍👍👍
What is the brand name of your airbrush? It looks like it performs very well. Please post information. Thanks!!!
It is Black bull double action airbrush pistol. Nothing special.
Excellent build apart from the chipping, just erratic and too heavy.
Do you ever sell your completed models to public?
Hello, It takes approximately 200 hours to make any model.
I keep it for myself. ;)
Is that red emblem a schnauzer?
I think so.

Thanks for your tips!
a little heavy on the chipping ... but very nice build overall ... well done
Great job ...But...dont like at all the way you spred the chippig...it not natural at all too many equal distances!!!
I agree.
Lesson learned for the next time.
It looks pretty good, except for those ugly chipping effects. Looks like a bunch of pigeons dumped a full load of their crap on the plane

Bit harsh! The guys done a brilliant job, and obviously enjoys his modelling, and is free to use artistic licence and interpretation!

Hate the loud music
Ugh! I can’t stand Marmite 🤣🌼
Ha ha I quite liked it.

I followed the manual.
But thanks for feedback.
What about that chipping ? Did the plane fly through a hailstorm ??? It's a little bit overdone, my opinion ...
Hello, you can hear it in 16:40 .
For the first time I used marmite chipping. It's overdone for sure!
