Junkers Ju 87G-1
Small parts cleaned and ready; gun pods from Academy, propeller from He 111 Italeri.
Fuselage ready, wings shortened and added wing MG covers from Academy.
Primer on, some pre-shading and marbling done too. RLM04 yellow airbrushed and waiting to dry for masking
Not very much of this will be seen under the winter camouflage, but I wanted to train in this technique.
Main camouflage done
Decals on.
I used some very old wing crosses and swastika's decals from a Matchbox kit, fuselage crosses and codes plus some stencils from the original HB sheet.

The fuselage codes are absolutely hypothetical or, better, fictional; the only letters you can "guess" from the picture are GC but they look like they are covered in spray paint, maybe 02?
Waiting for the clear coat to completely dry.
Spghetti ready!!!
Now on with some more treatments
Calling this one finished!
I really liked this project, did some practice with oils and without caring too much about accuracy.

This pic was the final aim of this build, I hope you like it like I do!

I was hoping to see the "Uniposca technique" in action!
Thank you Andrea, an excellent work so far!

I agree, very nice winter camo!
if it doesn't work then I don't know anymore either ...😄

What a weird camo, but a great idea to represent it! I would never have the guts to even try.

Thanks everybody for your kind appreciation! I wanted to try this since I bought the Hobby 2000 boxing, but later on I discovered that this particular a/c was a G-1 and no other info was available, I decided then to use the Hobby Boss kit I had in my stash with the minimal modification required to calm my modeling consciousness...
I used a UNI-POSCA pen, is water based paint available from stationery and hardware stores in Italy. This is what is wrote on it that it may be useful for a search

Brilliant work Andrea. I bought a paint pen like this months ago thinking it would be ideal for Lutfwaffe squiggles. I haven't yet got round to using it, but your example shows it works brilliantly. That and your talent of course!

Great job!
But why was the Hobby Boss kit chosen?
Immediately we see a very thin fuselage.

Thanks a lot David and Denis!
To be honest, I didn't notice the thin fuselage but accuracy wasn't my goal with this build , with hypothetical code markings.
Good to know anyway, thanks for pointing it out!
