This is the 2010 Revell boxing of the Junkers Ju 87G/D with the moulds dating back to 1975 and they show it. Raised panel lines, plenty of flash, mould 'leaks' and a plethora of ejector pin marks. The instructions say the kit is a D-3 but the extended wing tips show it is a D-5. Trawling through the Hannants Newsletter one morning I came across a set of decals, by Kora, for Bulgarian Ju 87s and one of those caught my eye as something different so I sent off for them (as well as a few other things, lol!!!!). I already had some Bulgarian markings in my stash but these were too small coming from the Heller Bf 108. The a/c in question is White 46 of the 1, Orliak, 2. Sturmovy at Polk Yugoslavia in September 1944. Camouflage is standard RLM 65 lower and RLM 70/71 upper but what makes this interesting is the (believed) RLM 76 mottling on the upper surfaces. Orliak is Bulgarian for Eagle and Sturmovy means Storms hence the decal set title 'Bulgarian Eagles'.
The parts for the cockpit are basic and as I'll use the kit one piece canopy which is as thick as Sid Little's glasses and nothing much will be seen so I'm not going to spend too much time detailing in there. The seat belts are faintly moulded on and there is a decal for the instruments and that's your lot re details. The engine makes up into a passable Jumo 211, which I've painted but will probably not have the bay opened up. The wing tips needed a lot of work, filling and sanding to get something like, as did the body and wing joints. I'll leave the propeller and landing gear off to make painting easier.
