Academy 12450 1/72 JU-87G Stuka Model Kit - Compact WWII Dive Bomber

The Academy 12450 1/72 JU-87G Stuka kit provides Australian builders with a compact rendition of the Stuka dive bomber. Its angular lines and distinctive airframe make it an interesting project for those who enjoy historic military builds.

Design Highlights for the JU-87G Variant

This JU-87G variant is noted for specialised armament and sturdy undercarriage, traits that model makers can emphasise during assembly. The cockpit and forward fuselage features reward careful painting and detailing at this scale.

Suggested Build Approach and Presentation

The model offers a moderate assembly challenge; careful trimming and test-fitting will improve final appearance. Consider a light primer and thin coats of paint to preserve surface detail and achieve sharp markings.

How long does the average build take?

Build time varies with experience and finishing choices; allow several evenings for assembly, plus additional time for painting, decals and weathering to reach a display finish.

Can I add extra detail to the cockpit?

The kit provides basic cockpit features at 1/72 scale; modellers seeking extra realism can use aftermarket details or paint-depth techniques to enhance instrument panels and seating.

What are common finishing tips for this scale?

Use thin paint layers, fine brushes or an airbrush for smooth coverage, and apply subtle washes to reveal panel lines. Seal with a clear coat to protect colours once complete.
