1:72 Junkers Ju 87B Stuka - Battle of Britain

Waterslide decals 1:72 Junkers Ju 87B Stuka - Battle of Britain (ROP o.s.)

A set of waterslide decals in 1:72 scale for a plastic model of the Junkers Ju 87B Stuka dive bomber. The subject concentrates on machines from the period of the Battle of Britain in 1940. It is a separate decal set, not a kit; the decals are transferred by soaking in water.

The real subject

The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka was a German dive bomber with an inverted gull wing and fixed, faired landing gear. The early Ju 87B version was accompanied by sirens and dive brakes for accurate bomb release in a dive. In the Battle of Britain the slow Stukas ran into a stubborn British fighter defense and suffered painful losses, which led to their withdrawal from direct attacks over England.

Use

• Cut the decal out and soak it in lukewarm water.
• Move it onto the surface of the model and adjust its position.
• Apply it over a gloss coat; a decal softener is suitable.
• Once dry, go over it with a matte or semi-gloss varnish.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Ju 87B in 1:72 scale.
• Anyone interested in the Battle of Britain of 1940.
• Collectors of German aircraft subjects.

This is a decal set. The aircraft model, paints and varnish are not included in the package.
