When I got a photo showing a Pz. I towing a Ju-87, possibly on an airfield in North Africa, I definetely want to build that scenery. The Pz. I is a mix of parts from S-Model Pz. I Ausf. A and B, the Ju-87 is Italeri. I bought some Quickboost add on parts which are designed to fit the Airfix kit, but with slightly modifications they although fit quite well the Italeri kit.
Happy Modelling, Christian

That´s an interesting combination... watching for sure!

Christian Bruer
Thx to all for looking around 🙂

Nicolas
I'm watching too.

I saw (likely) the same photo and also thought it would make a great dio. Glad it will materialize in your capable hands Christian 👍

Lukas Muller

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss it

Christian Lehmann
Na, da bin ich mal gespannt auf das fertige Projekt 👍

Christian Bruer
Still enough place in the first row, welcome aboard Łukasz and Christian 🙂

Christian Bruer
Nearly there, just a few bits and pieces to add before I can start the paintwork.

I got the SSMODEL Pz.I tracks. So far as can be see still in their printing frame they are looking quite nice.

Happy Modelling

Tom B.
Looking neat so far! Where did you order those 3D parts from? Been curious about those for a while now...

Alec K
Excellent progress Christian 👍. And same question as Tom B.

Christian Bruer
Thank you Tom and Alec. SSMODEL only has a shop at AliExpress. I was a bit hesitant to order there, because there is a lot of rumor about piracy products over there. But once I did not found something similar I want to order from them I registered and ordered at AliExpress. Payment was easy via PayPal and delivery absolutely in time. I also ordered one of the SSMODEL vehicles, Marder III Sd.Kfz.139 SSMODEL 1:72 72725. The details are top notch, but the printing quality in between excellent and poor. The chassis, tracks and single parts are excellent, but the gun mount and gun shield are not so nice. The gun mount is warped and the gun shield has a lot of steps on the inner and outer side. It also differs from the instructions where gun mount and shield are shown as separate parts but it was delivered as a single part. That makes it even more complicated to solve the issues. But I think I will give it a try for another scale 1/72 kit in the future.

Very good work !
Thanks for informations.

Tom B.
Thanks for the reply, Christian 👍 It seems that their shop is one of the reliable outlets, then...nice!

Bernd Grün
It turns out very well, Christian. 👌 Looking with interest for the final result.

Looks like a very interesting project. Exceptionally good work so far!

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for your kind feedback 🙂

Meanwhile I have added a few more details like the steering gear and tilger for the flaps. I also painted and reworked the SSMODEL tracks. They need a slightly adjustment to fit well the the S-Model Pz.I. MOre photos sooon when I start the paintwork.

Happy Modelling, Christian

WIP painting the Ju-87. Underside in RLM65 Hellblau is done as well as RLM70 Schwarzgrün. Depicting the references I have, the paint seems to have a weathered look, which I took in consideration by highlighting the basic paint.
Next will be the camo with RLM71 Dunkelgrün and a white band on the rear of the fuselage.
Happy Modelling

Christian Abraham
An interesting project

Moreno Baruffini
Super interesting! Well done!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Christian and Moreno🙂

WIP on my Ju-87 scenery. I rrplaced the First to Fight Pz.I by the one from S-Model but replaced the tracks by 3D printed ones from SSMODEL.
That will come together nicely with a nice contrast in between all of the colours, sand brown Pz.I and the Ju-87 with a standard camouflage in green.
Happy Modelling

Lukas Muller
Looks superb Chris 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you Lukas 🙂

There is a lot of masking needed to paint the Ju's splinter camouflage.
I did not masked and sprayed it in one loop, but step by step. For me it works much better in that way.
Only the rear fuselage and tail end is missing. So I have a plan for tomorrow 😁

Happy Modelling

Alec K

take a seat

Christian Bruer
Thx Pietro and Oliver 🙂

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Ju-87, white band and blackgray walkways are masked and painted. Next weathering, varnish and decals.
A wooden base is also on the way, so I hope to finish this one and several other ongoing projects until SMC🙂
Happy Modelling

Great work!

These four pictures begin a project that should result in one of the largest models I have ever attempted. Not the biggest - the 1:32 Liberator holds my record here - but close!
However, the impressively large box contains surprisingly little and, also surprisingly, large components such as the fuselage, wings and tailplane are already assembled. Incidentally, these are made of fibreglass and require their own treatment.
These parts are also stable and clean. A bit of filling was required, as the traces of glue and filler on the seams are very rough and show air pockets. This will now be sanded, the cockpit sawn out and the windows drilled - well, modelling a little differently than usual! 🙂

This looks like a cool project! Following.

The panel lines look ok I guess.
