These two have been sitting in my to-do drawer for some time. The Germans will now bw able to mount a sizeable assault. Models are 1/200 by AIR200.

Enjoy!

Thanks guys, I was particularly happy with the rear gun for which i used a small piece of piano wire.

It's a perfect plane (G version) to play some Eastern Front scenarios with Hans Ulrich Rudel as an ace. Hmmm... what kind of special ability shall we assign to him? R&A Pack for WGS should be of help;)

If I can suggest a little update to the great looking models Aaron :thumbsup:, it could be some kind of camo modification. Now you have two easily recognizable planes and I know they are only game pieces and camouflage patterns are not so important, but: the gray and brown colours were not used on Ju 87 bombers. It was (on EF theater) always a set of Dark Green/Black Green/Light blue (officially RLM 71/70/65) pattern sometimes covered with white washable paint during winter time. If you'd like to make them more "front-line-looking" you could spray (or drybrush) some white spots on them;)

BTW - where did you find these cool models????!!!!:D

Thanks for the tips. I took Artistic liscense with the camo instead of doing the research. oops :)

The Planes are marketed here in the U.S as AIR200. I buy them from The Last Square in Madison, WI. I believe the are the same as Hallmark or Noble miniatures.
