Looks really good. There is certain beauty in those gull wings and fixed undercarriage.

Nice looking Stuka
 Do you find the Stuka canopy one of the harder one to build? I was wondering how you do yours. I cut out the conopy and all window sections, cover the outside with clear tape and trim off the excess tape. Turn the canopy over and cover the inside with clear tape as well and trim off the excess. I leave the tape where the glue tabs were and use them to form the canopy. The rear gun turret is the hardest. Bob

Bob,
I haven't tried the tape method yet. I do find the Ju-87B canopies to be a challenge. Once I form the sections and stiffen the necessary ones, I lay in clear plastic using contact cement. I find the contact cement holds better than most others I've tried. How do you do the rear gun bubble in tape? I'd love to see a photo or two. I should try the tape method! Chris

 Sorry for the picture quality. My camera won't take close ups very well. This is an old model I had to cut off the original paper canopy to replace it with the one with tape. That's why it looks bad around the botton of the canopy. The trick with doing them in clear tape is when you cover the inside of the canopy with tape, its is very important to not cut the tape out from where the paper glue tabs were. I bend the tape tabs back out of the way and bring the two sections together to form the shape between the two sections. Then release the tape tap and press it firmly on the inside the canopy. Not sure how better to explain it:o If you go to my gallery I have a tutorial there for the canopies. That might help. How do you stiffen the frames before you glue in the plastic? What kind of glue do you use? To attach my canopies to the aircraft I've found that testors plastic glue seem to work well. Last edited by bob martin; 11-17-2008 at 12:21 PM.

I use Zap Ca glue to stiffen the frames and then glue clear plastic in with contact cement.
Your tape technique looks really interesting. I'll have to give it a shot sometime! Thanks for posting a photo. Chris
