Academy 12450 1/72 JU-87G Stuka Model Kit - Scale Representation of a WWII Dive Bomber

The Academy 12450 1/72 JU-87G Stuka kit offers a compact and detailed project for UK scale modellers. The Stuka's profile and distinctive features are well suited to 1/72 scale presentation for a tidy shelf display or small vignette.

Notable Features of the JU-87G for Modelling

The JU-87G was adapted for ground attack roles and is characterised by its forward armament and rugged undercarriage. This kit emphasises those external cues so modellers can highlight the variant's function and form.

Practical Tips for Construction and Finish

Assembly is moderately demanding and benefits from dry fitting before gluing. Prepare surfaces with sanding and priming, and plan paints and decals to create a convincing period finish.

What skill level is best suited to this kit?

This kit is best tackled by modellers with some prior kit experience. The parts fit and detailing reward patience, but complete novices may find some steps challenging.

Which paints are recommended for a period look?

Use acrylic or enamel paints to achieve traditional finishes. Research wartime camouflage schemes and apply thin, even coats to preserve fine plastic detail.

Any advice for handling small parts?

Use tweezers and a steady, well lit workspace when fitting small items. Trial fit before gluing and allow adhesive to set fully to avoid misalignment.

How can I improve the finished appearance?

Apply a primer, thin layers of paint, subtle weathering and a protective clear coat. Taking care with seams and masking will significantly enhance the final presentation.
