1/32 Hasegawa Ju-87 Stuka

Kanonenvogel

--------------------

 

The Ju 87 G2 “Kanonenvogel” was flown by the mythical German ace "Hans-Ulrich Rudel”.  Due to the fast increase of the Russian armored forces in the east front, a Ju 87 D-1 was modified with the installation of two Flak 18 antitank 37mm suspended under the wings, suppressing the light armament and the racks for the transportation of bombs.

I began pre-shading the panel lines with black matt.  Due to the dark green color of the primary camouflage, the effect of volume obtained  is very subtle.

After painting both camouflage colours, and applying a mixture of black and dark green very diluted on the panel lines to empashize volume, a layer of “future” was applied, and I came to the positioning of decals.

After another layer of future I painted the panel lines, with oil paint "umbra natur" for the inferior part and "zinc" for the rest, mixed with turpentine spirit.  Finally I soiled diverse zones with oil washes of such colors.  Also I applied  “Mig” pigments for wearing down, mainly in the wings and the wheels.  The scratches in the fuselage were made with a brush using aluminum paint.  Finally, the antenna is done with nylon thread painted in metalized and stuck carefully with cyano.
