My 'original' 1/144th scale Ju-87 - this is the old Revell kit which as revealed in a previous post, was missing it's canopy. I made the replacement from balsa which has done nothing for the accuracy of the bombing.
The Revell kit again, this time painted for a chillier climate.
Another Revell kit - this one has so far seen action over North Africa, Sicily and Italy.
Staying with the Med, this is the Eduard kit (this and the next built and painted by Wg Cdr Luddite). This is an altogether more sophisticated kit then the Revel offering.
Another Eduard kit - ready for takeoff!
A shamelessly posed photo showing the Stuka from the previous pic about to bomb some 6mm Polish artillery. More Poles coming soon.
This is the F-Toys model, which required only minor assembly.
An Eduard kit of the Ju-87G-2 tankbuster. Like many of my 144 scale models, this reminds me of an old 1/72 kit I built several decades ago (and long departed).
The F-Toys G-2, complete with swirly propeller hub. Lovely.
That concludes the Luftwaffe Stuka force, but the Germans supplied them to a number of other countries and these are represented in my 'Minor Axis Aircraft' box. No doubt they'll find their way in front of the camera in due course.

The F-Toys one seems very good...price?
Another great post.

The F-Toys models (like all these Japanese kits) were only available for a limited period. Most of mine came from HLJ in Japan (http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist.cgi) but they crop up on Ebay from time to time for around £5.

Cheers Tim.
I need to get a few 1:144 scale Stukas. How easy to find are the Revell ones these days?
Impressive selection old chap

I think you'll struggle to find the Revell kit these days - it's probably easier to pick up the F-Toys version on fleabay.

Thanks - it wouldn't do for them to be all the same!
