I really enjoyed this kit. Well detailed for a 1/72 model but still a straightforward build that went together perfectly and didn’t need unearthly skills to complete. The sprue was very clean with no flash, the instructions laid out well and the dual option decal schemes made for a very nicely finished kit. Personal thought on the ‘greenhouse’ canopy: I prefer hand cutting and applying masking tape, so it took a while but was a nice meditative process. BOTTOM LINE: I’ve not built any other JU87 kits, but I found this one to be a great balance of detail, scale and build quality. NOTE: I’m an average skill modeler at best. Usually I leave non-permanent fixtures (bombs, drop tanks, etc.) off my kits because I’m interested in the airplane, not extraneous add-ons. I use the following for all my models • Harder & Steenbeck CRplus with a 0.2mm nozzle - it’s way above my ability level but was a birthday present from my wonderful partner • AMMO by Mig and Vallejo Air acrylic paints - I never use oil-based paints or washes because who needs the toxic fumes and cleanup hassle • Tamiya Extra Thin Cement and Tamiya Plastic Cement • Walthers Solvaset to apply and set decals • EZ-Line Fine for rigging • Vallejo Mecha Satin Varnish to coat finished models - if you’ve ever seen a Spitfire or B-25 or whatever in real life, they have a slight gloss sheen to them and are not matt at all.
