1:144 Ju-87 D/G 'Stuka' - Control Surface (for Eduard kits)

Ju 87 D/G Stuka - Control Surfaces 1:144 (AML)

A 1:144 set from AML with replacement movable (control) surfaces for the Junkers Ju 87 dive bomber and anti-tank aircraft in the D and G versions. It lets you show a deflected rudder, elevators or ailerons and so bring life to an otherwise rigid silhouette. It is not an aircraft kit but an accessory for a plastic model of the matching scale, which is not in the package.

The real subject

The Ju 87 Stuka became famous for its accurate dive bombing and for its characteristic cranked wing. The D version was a more powerful ground-attack and bombing modification, while the G carried a pair of anti-tank cannons under the wings and became a feared destroyer of armored vehicles on the Eastern Front.

Usage tips

Cut the corresponding fixed surfaces off the plastic model and replace them with the parts from the set. Wash the resin or printed parts, remove the casting blocks or print supports and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Choose the deflection naturally and symmetrically to suit the scene you have in mind; blend the joints and sand them before painting.

Who the set is for

• Modelers of 1:144 aircraft building the Ju 87 in the D or G version
• Those who want to enliven a model with deflected surfaces
• More advanced builders used to small modifications
• Collectors of detailed accessories

This is an accessory for a model; the aircraft kit itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.
