Hasegawa 1/48 Junkers Ju-87G-2, Kdr./SG2 Heavy Hitters GB

Username: VicB
First name: Vic
Category: 2
Scale: 1/48
Manufacturer: Hasegawa
Model Type: Ju-87G-2
Details: WerkNum 494193, Geschwader Kommodore Hans Ulrich Rudel, Kdr./SG2, Russia, 1944-45

Extras: Verlinden Products Ju-87 Stuka update kit 1137

Quite a comprehensive kit with extras thrown in for the port 37mm anti-tank cannon so it will be primarily out of the box with the added Verlinden kit and a bit of scratch building to make up some of the shortfalls of the kit.

Am undecided about the finish as Hans Ulrich Rudel was on the Russian front in the summer/Winter 1944-45 so if I have got the guts, I could go for the white blotch temporary winter camouflage which will be a first for me, so some help and advice will be requested.

Very nice! This build would not be complete without Rudel.

Nice choice Vic. I'm doing a winter scheme for the first time as well on a Bf-110 (not part of the GB). Should be a bit of a challenge. so maybe we can compare notes.
