Hello. I have recently come into possession of a 1:24 scale Stuka. I have been getting back into the miniature and model hobby after a 20 year hiatus. This is my first Airfix model so any suggestion would be great. I am specially looking for any tips on the cockpit colour scheme. Thank you all in advance./media/tinymce_upload/f326b98ce9ece0bb463a1bbc0f60df1a.jpg

BTW I have corrected the thread title - the Ju86 is another aircraft

Look forward to seeing this, i have the last boxing in the stash.

ratch is correct, all Ju 87B and R variants had the cockpit in RLM 02.

A challenging kit to enter the world of Airfix with. If you post regularly I shall follow your build with interest!

Here's mine, converted to a Junkers Ju 87R-2 of 4./StG 2, Libya, circa March 1941. Like other early arrivals in North Africa she wears the European 70/71 splinter scheme. The white spinner tip is reportedly a Staffel-within-Gruppe recognition aid. Soon after the start of their desert service 4. Staffel replaced their original four-leaf clover badge with the more appropriate emblem of a Luftwaffe eagle superimposed over the Afrika Korps palm tree and swastika, carried on the starboard side of the cowling only.
