1/200 Ju 88 and 1/144 Ju 87 kits from Zvezda:

Great looking models, SV! The Stuka was the first airplane model I put together in the late 1950's (Revell, Monogram, Airfix - can't remember).

Cool.

Yeah, a Stuka was one of the first Airfix models I ever constructed - and painted! Most never got round to seeing paint

Great work! I've always loved the Stuka, possibly because I used to have a die cast model that could drop a bomb, with the added bonus of having the ability to put a cap in it to make it go bang. Many happy memories of dive bombing stuff, but invariably missing.

Good job!

I like that zvezda stuka. I have one and it's a great kit.

Shame zvezda decided to make those airplane kits in different scales. That's one thing that put me off from buying their art of tactics game. Troops in 1/72, tanks in 1/100 and planes in 1/144 and 1/200. Really annoying for me to have different scales in the same game.

It bugged me in memoir as well!

Many thanks for the feedback comrades 

Ended up with two Stukas, the other one's supporting 1/72 DAK troops.  These two are for use with a 10mm Armoured Division 1940. 

The two projects I set myself had a series of small forces in 1/72 and a series of larger forces in 10mm.  Both had to have air support so the knotty problem of scale inevitably cropped up.  Some of the 1/72s have 1/72 aircraft which are big fragile models, so anything bigger than a single engne fighter was out of the question.  Just not a practical size for my use as I'm not after model aircraft per se.  1/44 is ideal for my purposes, looks not bad with 1/72 and fits well with 10mm.  It certainly makes the larger aircraft a practical possibility for me. 

What I'm after is a Bf 110 in 1/144 or 1/200 at a sensible price (come on Zvezda!).

Flames of war has them in 1/144.

There's a painted one on ebay. I'll pm you the link.
