Christian BruerWhen 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

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

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

Christian BruerNearly 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...

Christian BruerThank 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.
Here the link to the shop:

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

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

Christian BruerThank 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

Christian BruerWIP 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.

Christian BruerThank 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

Christian BruerThank 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

Christian BruerWIP 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🙂

MonteThis is very cool. I guess I need to find the photo that was evidently the inspiration for the towing depiction.
4 September, 22:34
Christian BruerThank you all for your kind comments 🙂
Monte, I have a copy of the photos. I'll share it later when the diorama is finished

Christian BruerSome crew figures are meanwhile painted.

Christian BruerAnd the final one I wanted to finish for SMC 2024. A Pz.I towing a Ju-87.
The diorama is based on an original photo taken in North Africa in spring 1941 by a member of Panzerregiment 5. Less is known about the incidence, but it seems the Ju-87 has to make an emergency landing and was now towed by the little Pz.I out of harms way. According to my research and the help of a modelling friend who has a main interrest in Junkers aircraft, the Ju-87 B2 seems to be a machine from II. Gruppe 8./SG2 with the marking T6 + BR.
The Pz.I was built out of the S-Model kit, the Ju-87 is Italeri. Figures are White Stork. Painting was done using acrylics and oils. The wooden base was made by Roland Dörrich.
Happy Modelling

Rui SBeautiful as always 👍 I think they should tie that Stuka before start moving 😄 😉
I've seen a similar scene photo but I think in eastern front and the mover was another Vehicle. I always thought I should use my revel Stuka to do that kind of Dio, maybee One day... 😄
11 October, 19:01
Spanjaardit looks just perfect, amazing painting and modelling skills as usual.....
11 October, 20:29
Christian BruerThank you all for your kind words 🙂
@Rui, that was wgat the two guys in front are talking about 😉
11 October, 21:10
Rui SOf course, the hardest part is already done. 😄
I've been checking my sources. It turns out it's not a Stuka, but a BF 109, with its rear end on top of a truck. 😎
11 October, 21:59
gorbyBrilliant! It astounds me how well you have painted the figures, you can see the muscle tone! 😮
12 October, 07:04
Alec KOutstanding. I really like these recovery scenes, and like Rui hoping to do one myself One day. Looking forward to your SMC 2024 photo report!
12 October, 13:21
Thomas BischoffI somehow managed to delay browsing through the album till today - this is really outstanding! I especially like the figures 👍
12 October, 21:19
AndreasKJust seen this at SMC. Great topic and nicely done. Good luck for the competition!

Dirk HeyerHi Christian.
I am confirm with all the mention above. It is a fantastic Interpretation of this theme. Very well done.
19 October, 20:39
bughunterBut honestly, you can't do that! Is this airplane or tank model building? Something like that can't be categorized and filtered properly here! Why don't you decide what you want to build?

Joking aside, nice 'crossover' diorama and I always impressed by your little figures 👍
PS: It's only visible in Group Aircraft->Propeller 🙂

Erik OffI could see it at the SMC. A very unique style, I really liked it.
I took extra photos of the smooth sand. 😉
30 October, 08:55
Christian Bruer@bughunter, you're totaly wrong, this is a figure display 😄
But thank you for your thoughts and kind comment🙂
@Erik, thank you very much and glad you like it 🙂
