Junkers/Souter JuSo-87 TurboStuka - Swift Air Freight

Now Cap,n that is a rather drastic idea, dive bombing the pests in the crops, could reduce the crop returns somewhat.

Thanks folks.

What did you use to make the solid turtleback where the gunner would normally go?  Looks similiar to some Avenger firebomber conversions.  I need something similiar for a build. 

All it took was a piece of styrene sheet glued across the opening with a couple of thin strips along the sides.  This looked very obvious so I sanded the sides slightly.  It still looked obvious so I hid most of the flatness with the back of the canopy which is another piece from my seemingly never-ending supply* of 1/48 drop tanks.  Finally I glued a length of 1/2 round styrene along the top of the fuselage from the back of the canopy to the tail (with a gap for the clear round thing I later found out is DF equipment - obviously retained so pilots could find their destination Post Office which would have a unique beacon).

*Not really, but there were a lot in the box marked "plane weapons $2" I bought at last years Model Expo.

Thank you, I have found spare drop tanks, 1/700 submarine hulls and evergreen round styrene very usefull for some interesting shapes.  Really nice job.

Wonderful new use of this aircraft, that I prefer very much to dive bombing...

impressively finely detailed, and an excellent hybridization concept from the start

And car bodies.  1/25 1941 Willys and 1940 Ford have provided some useful double radius curved panels in the past.
