Haha fair point. Luckily it didn't make a mess this time.

^lol.. Yeah, looking at the oil/grease on that beauty...then seeing it rolling around on a white bed spread..I assumed you're not a married man.

Is it fully functional?

No it is deactivated.

 

[Claven2]

Do you have the buttstock?

Do you have the buttstock?

No unfortunately it didn't come with it. I do have the AA sights though.

Hi D,

You got a solid firearm collection and number of very education youtube videos. Are any of them shootable?

Thanks for posting!

 

[SteelFlint]

Are you putting it in a Junkers JU 87 Stuka?

LFMAO! Oh man can you imagine if buddy did have one?! SO.FRIGGIN.COOL.

Nice gun!

Far as I know, there are ZERO Stukas left in airworthy condition...... but there ARE a few Heinkel 111s which might need nose guns!

Supposedly Paul Allen of Microsoft fame is pretty close to having a flight worthy Stuka. Of course his museum is in the USA so the plane will probably have working defenses.

Nothing like unwrapping you new deact mg on the bed. I hope you didn't get any grease and dirt on your sheets? I always suspected things at Collectors Source move very very slowly if you have been eyeing this on their website for 4 or 5 years and it was still available!

Paul Allen died

Paul Allen died

I was just coming back to comment on that. I hope beyond hope that he left plans to keep the museum intact and running.

Thanks, no all of them are deactivated.

Haha no the gun wasn't that greasy, the bed sheets were spared! If an item is decently priced on Collector's Source it will get sold pretty quickly. But this MG started at $7500 about 4 years ago and now came down to $5,000 (which is still expensive but better priced).

Thanks for the info!

Strange coincidence of how that happened so soon with this post

True, but the Wheatcroft collection is getting close to having one pieced back together from what I hear.

Well I guess you have a unicorn to hunt for...

It shouldn't be too bad ...the gun looks fine without it though.

 

[riverview]

Looks amazing

Two in flight worthy condition survive...

Ju 87 R-2/Trop. Werk Nr. 5954, and Ju 87 G-2, Werk Nr. 494083.

One in Chicago IL, and the other in the UK.

I believe only the UK one is actually flown, but the one in Chicago can fly.

Super cool aircraft.
