Airfix 1/72 Junkers Ju87B-1 Stuka

Got this one in the stash coming up. Every collection needs a Stuka. Seen some nice reviews so this should be a great build.

Great kit, didn't have any problems whatsoever. Nice clean plastic mould, crisp detailing and every part went together perfectly. Whats not to love. makes up into a very fine example of the Stuka. I did a lot of research for colours for this one as the dark green and really dark green was had to match in the Tamiya rattle cans. But I think I came up with a combination that works for me.
I also got to use my Celco circle template for drawing the yellow ring around the propellor. This worked surprisingly well, just using a yellow paint pen.
