Vincent,

There are too many different schemes to list. I would suggest your first trip should be to the LHS and the plastic models department. You should also get the Squadron book.

I appreciate and understand your question. The swastika is not PC anymore and is actually outlawed in several countries. I have several books in my library devoted to the JU-87. I'll check around and see if I can find anything else.

Take care,

Ron

Check this out.

Don told me himself that he had to tone it down, even back then. The white one shown by Aircobra is the one he used to compete with in the Europe WCs.He still has the original (un-censored) model hanging in his hobby shop- "Don's Hobby Haven" located in Beaumont, Tx.

Look at the documentation out there. Not all German pilots would fly with the swastika on their planes. You should be able to find a scale color scheme with out swastikas, or just leave them off. The crosses on the wings and fuselage are not considered part of the NAZI regime.

Hi Vincent ,

Maybe try a Spanish Civil War scheme ?
I don't have the exact colours , but if you check out some of the scale plastic web-sites , I'm sure you might come up with some good ideas .

Seconding Ron's reply. Plastic model box art would be great reference for this one.
