I wanted the model to represent a Ju-87G-2, so a small = amount of conversion work was necessary. The G-2 version used the = long-span Ju-87D-5 airframe. First, the fairings for the wing-mounted = MG 17 machine guns were filed and sanded off. Then the non-skid = surfaces on the wingwalks were sanded off and replaced with strips of = clear plastic, cut to the approximate length and width.

The decal instructions didn't have a = drawing showing the camouflage pattern for the starboard fuselage, = however, the Squadron in Action book shows this pattern in a print on = the back cover, so I used that as the guide. Paint chipping was done by = spraying certain areas of the model (wing leading edges, wing roots, = fuselage sides and propeller blades) silver, followed by a light spray = of Testors Glosscote. Once the base coat was applied and let to dry = about 40 minutes or so, the paint was then "chipped" off using a small = piece of drafting tape to reveal the silver underneath.
