Academy 12450 1/72 JU-87G Stuka Model Kit - Historic Dive Bomber in Miniature

This Academy 12450 1/72 JU-87G Stuka kit gives New Zealand modellers a compact but detailed representation of the famous dive bomber. The distinctive wing planform and wartime silhouette make it a compelling subject for a shelf or diorama.

What Makes the JU-87G Stand Out for Modellers

The JU-87G was adapted with anti-armour armament, and this kit captures key external characteristics. Attention to the cockpit area and the undercarriage detail helps bring this variant to life at 1/72 scale.

Build Level and Finishing Tips

The kit presents a moderate build challenge suitable for modellers with some experience. Take time with seam removal and priming, and choose paints carefully to match period finishes for the best visual impact.

Do I need special tools to assemble this kit?

Basic modelling tools such as sprue cutters, a sharp hobby knife, sanding sticks and fine tweezers are recommended to get clean fits and remove flash.

Are decals or weathering required to get an authentic look?

Careful paintwork and subtle weathering will enhance realism. Decals can add marking detail if available, while washes and gentle chipping bring out panel lines.

What glue works best for the plastic parts?

Use a plastic model cement or liquid solvent adhesive for strong, neat bonds. Apply sparingly and allow proper drying time before handling and painting.

Is this kit accurate enough for a small diorama?

At 1/72 scale the model offers good external accuracy for a small diorama; careful painting and a simple base will complement the subject without overwhelming its scale.
