After three jet builds this year I felt like something quick and easy . Nothing in the stash from the good guys took my fancy so I pulled out my double boxing of the Hasegawa Hs 129 and Ju 87. The Hs 129 looked like the more simple of the two. Reading a few reviews confirmed this.
The aircraft I chose was an aircraft from 9 Ground Attack Air Wing 10 (anti-tank) Company Eastern Front: July 1943
The Kit
- 1/48 Hasegawa Double Boxing of the HS-129 and Ju-87G (HSG 07409)
The kit is pretty simple to build and is reasonably detailed straight from the box (minus the lack of seat belts
Aftermarket
- Generic Loar Roar Luftwaffe Seatbelt
Decals/Markings
- Kit decals for the Swastika, L and stencils
- I made masks for the national markings
Paints
- Mr Color Lacquers main colours, (a Bit of Tamiya for the black green as well)
- Mr Hobby for the yellow
- Vallejo Acrylics for details
- Gaianotes for the Gloss coat
- Dullcoate for the flat coat
Weathering
- Artist Oils for the wash
- Coloured pencils, pigments, pastels and Tamiya Weathering sets for the various streaking / grime marks
The Base
- The surround is made from cheap skirting from Bunnings.
- The grass is just a mat. I've been experimenting with static grass but IMHO for 1/48 scale the mat is just as good if you want a field with short grass.
- Sand bags were from the Tamiya Set
- Other vegetation was from various products I've collected over the year.
Build Threads
I figured I'd stick a 1/48 Tiger I next to the HS-129 to give a comparison of size.
