Very nice model kit. The mold is well fitted and the overall packaging of the parts is great. Instructions are clear and this is obviously a very well produced model set.

This kit first appeared on the market in 2002 surpassing every other model kit of the Junkers Ju-87G-1 Stuka "Tank Buster" in 1/72 scale which had preceded it. (In 2005 Academy added a Junkers Ju-87G-2 Stuka "Tank Buster" in 1/72 scale, based on their prior G-1, but with the longer wings of that variant.) What's more is that from the very beginning it was a very affordable model kit despite the intricate detail that allowed for the construction for a variety of different aircraft of this type OR an example of one aircraft at different points in the conflict.While others claim that this kit was difficult to build due to how fine some of the parts, were disappointed because it was unpainted or because the pieces didn't immediately fit together I sincerely disagree. Firstly, unless it states that it is pre-painted then it should be assumed that it will be necessary for you to paint it. Secondly, it clearly states that this is a MODEL KIT. A model kit is something that needs to be assembled.Most model kits require glue, ordinary model glue is good for beginners because it gives them time to position parts correctly & teaches them patience as they wait for the parts to dry. More advanced builders might choose to use cryoacrylate glue because it does not melt the polystyrene pieces together, it simply affixes the parts together & a variety of materials can be used in the construction of the model kit.Whenever you are building a model kit it is standard practice to carefully study the instructions. Then when you begin assembly you should attempt to "dry fit" the components together without glue to see how well they will fit. This gives you the opportunity to troubleshoot any problems that might come up before you apply glue. If a part is too snug or won't fit into it's designated place, check the instructions, if you have not made an error assume that you may have to sand that part so that it might fit properly. If it has gaps, again consult the instructions for any errors you might've made or it may just need a little modeling putty to fill the gaps.All of that aside while this is a fantastic model of the early Ju-87G there are some areas where I wasn't completely satisfied, as an advanced modeler. Although the page describes it as having "Highly detailed 37mm flak cannons(sic)," this is somewhat misleading. The gun barrels are just "plastic sticks." I purchased a set of turned brass barrels designed to replace those which come with this kit.While the interior is quite detailed it IS representative of the time period in which it's molds were manufactured. (Tamiya model kits do NOT count - they were way ahead of their contemporaries around this time frame.) While it isn't bad it also isn't great, especially if you're looking to build a highly detailed model of this aircraft.Personally, I chose to purchase a polyurethane resin & photo-etched brass aftermarket interior set to replace the interior components & the MG 81Z in the aft gunner's station. I also purchased replacement polyurethane resin exhaust stacks so that they properly look like exhaust pipes rather than just random sticks facing backwards.The only real shape/detail oriented problems I can point a finger at with this model kit were the MG 81Z defensive armament not even loosely resembling the real thing & the spatted landing gear that come with this kit which isn't easy to remedy. Again I turned to the aftermarket option of a polyurethane resin replacement set for the spatted landing gear. (The MG 81Z replacement was mentioned above.)Finally, while I replaced many parts of my own kit with aftermarkets which ended up costing me 3 times the amount of the base kit (not a joke, unfortunately,) this IS a nice model kit all by itself. With a lot of care I probably could have drilled out the end of the barrels of the 37 mm cannons, the end of the exhaust stacks & scratch built details I felt were missing with the interior. Then had I ignored the problems with both the MG 81Z as well as the spatted landing gear it STILL would have turned into an attractive looking model to put on my shelf.As long as you know what you are getting into, are prepared to carefully & patiently paint, build & then apply the water slide decals to this MODEL KIT you'll get out of it all that you put into it. I recommend this kit to builders as young as 10 & to anyone else interested in military aviation that can still see/handle these small parts!

Small but really cool model 😎 great to practice my wheatering skills.I think its worth the money

Nice kit.

Great model. Fun time building it. The plastic is sturdy and nothing broke off during the build

Amazone canceló mi membresía Prime NO volveré a comprar aquí

Got this for hubby assuming it was like the old school type model planes. Box says No glue and No paint, instructions say paintbrush and paints included. A disappointing gift that was not worth the money spent.

Llegó antes de la fecha prevista y el enbalaje en buen estado. Respecto a la maqueta en sí, poco que decir: Fantástica calidad como es habitual en Academy. Lineas de panelado nítidas y precisas, ninguna rebaba y buen detalle. Un perfecto modelo de Stuka cazacarros.

The kit is rather cheaply made. The parts do not fit together well like Tamiya and Takom kits. I'd rather pay a bit more for a better kit. Overall constructed model is OK, not great compared to the Spitfire made by Tamiya.

nice

A well detailed kit with no major flaws. Looks brilliant when completed and the cannons on the wings add real menace. If you need a Stuka in your life, you could do a lot worse.

Thank you
