Junkers Ju 87 Stuka (new project) - June 16, 2021

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog during this quarantine phase while the World makes their best to find a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. And since this year is starting to unfold for us, nothing like a good Blog to entertain you.

For this Blog, I'm going to bring new rendered images of my new project here on Blender. I started it yesterday after some conversations with a cousin of mine about my 3D works - mostly my WW2 planes and he asked me if there's some plans of starting the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka (his favorite aircraft). Then I told him I plan to make it quite soon.

In case you don't know what was this plane, the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka is a German dive bomber developed in secrecy after WW1 when Germany was forbidden to produce any warfare technology due to the Treaty of Versailles. However, with the arrival of the Nazis to power, the Stuka gained full liberty to be built and in great numbers. The name Stuka was an abbreviation for Sturzkampfflugzeug (diving combat airplane from German to English) Its design counts with a fixed undercarriage on the wings, a reinforced metal structure in order to resist the effects from the air and other elements, a two-seat cockpit - one for the pilot and one for the rear gunner and an automatic dive control systems that could take the aircraft out of a dive when the pilot would be unconscious due to the G-force applied to him during the dive. It had an inverted gull / cracked wings in order to improve the pilot's visibility. Its armament consisted of a pair of 7.92 mm MG 17s and a 7.92 mm MG 15 for the rear gunner, along a vast variety of bombs - one 250 kg (550 lb) bomb beneath the fuselage and four 50 kg (110 lb) under-wing. But the Stuka's dreadful armament was a pair of sirens mounted on its wing carriage that played a terrifying sound during the dive, causing panic in battalions of soldiers and civilians as the Stuka dived to drop its bombs. These sirens were dubbed the Jericho Trumpets. It saw action in the Spanish Civil War among the Bf 109, He 111, Ju 52 and Do 17 in the Condor Legion to support Francisco Franco regime against the Spanish Socialist Republic, then the Invasion of Poland, Netherlands, Belgium and France. In Britain, the Stuka faced heavy losses when confronted by British fighters, forcing the Germans to withdraw the Stuka from the front-lines. It was used again in the Eastern Front during Operation Barbarossa - the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union; along in the Mediterranean and North Africa, Italy and Europe after D-Day. During the Eastern Front, a new version of Stuka was developed - under designation G-1 Kanonenvogel. It was retrofitted with a pair of Bordkanone BK 3,7 gun pods under the wings - making the Stuka the perfect tank hunter of the German Luftwaffe. However, with the arrival of Focke-Wulf FW 190, the Stuka was slowly being withdrawn from service until its production ceased in December 1944.

Let me show you the renders of the Ju 87.








Amazing. Don't you agree?

I added the temporary materials quite soon for its parts like the wings, fuselage, rudder and propeller spinner. I included the wing undercarriage since I know it is fixed on the wings - different from a considerable number of WW2 planes; and the Jericho Trumpets. The propellers were appended from the FW 190 project, with a slight adjustment to fit with the image.

I plan to include the other components like the cockpit and its internal components, the weapons, the Pitot tube, the ailerons, the dive flaps and flaps, engine outlets and the decals.

Well, that's it for now my friends. I hope you enjoy this Blog. In case I have some spare time to enjoy, I'll be working on other things aside from Blender projects and my personal things. Until the time comes, you will be surprised to see them. See you next time.

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog during this quarantine phase while the World makes their best to find a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. First of all, I would like to inform you that I returned to work at the public health center in the city where I live. Yup, I'm back on duty after a long time of waiting. In case you follow me on DeviantArt, you are aware the reason for my return. In case not, I'll leave the link to my recent journal there. Job and Lowering my personal works... again (Upd): https://www.deviantart.com/tonytoriusimages/journal/Job-and-Lowering-my-personal-works-again-Upd-875311216 I still can't believe it because they gave me a very tight working schedule even if it is to cover the absence of others at lunch, like - working at 05:00 to 07:00, then at 11:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 21:00? It's a pretty tiresome trip. Fortunately I have the weekends and holidays to rest, study and working in my projects. However, I have a ...

New Updates for: Macchi C.202 and Macchi C.205 (new project) - October 11, 2021

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog. We are now on October 11 - approaching the end of 2021; hoping for the things to get better as the World continues in this fight for survival and to develop a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. For this month, my university semester is in course - in which my attention will have to be re-directed to the new tasks, in addition to my service at the public health center. Fortunately I concluded the tasks to reach level 30 in the new Nightwave chapter, which makes things easier for me now that I don't have to go for the prizes. Now for this Blog. I'm going to show you the new adjustments of the Italian Macchi C.202 Folgore. Let me show you what I did so far. The Folgore received a new Armature after I appended from the P-51 Mustang project - with some slight alterations in the rotation for the landing gear and canopy hatch bones; aside from adding more bones for the links. Now it's looking good. I struggled to ...

New updates for: Horten Ho 229 and F6F Hellcat (new project) - March 22, 2024

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog in 2024. I'm still working as a receptionist at the public health center where I live and my 7th semester is still ongoing. That means, my time for Blogs decreased to some occasions. The town hall is calling the candidates from the civil service exam. They called the first two approved candidates for the receptionist vacancy, with the first one accepting it. The nurse and the archive officer is still going, the fourth candidate for ambulance driver on duty accepted the vacancy while the three other candidates didn't take it as they are working for other town halls. I'm still I'm waiting to be called to work as a community health agent or as a receptionist. Unless the second candidate accept the vacancy, I'll have to wait a little more. There's a chance they might call me after they inaugurate the new public health center, dedicated for specialized doctors (pediatrics, cardiologist, ginecologist, physioth...
