Product: 1:72 Junker Ju-87B Stuka
The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka was a two-seat dive-bomber/ground-attack
aircraft. The Stuka first flew in 1935 and made its combat debut in 1936
as part of the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War . The aircraft
was easily recognizable by its inverted gull wings and fixed landing
gears. The Stuka's design included several innovative features,
including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that
the plane recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out
from the acceleration. It became soon the icon of the German
"Blitzkrieg" during the first stages of the Second World War providing
the air support to the Wehrmacht Panzer Divisions. It was used by
Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain where it showed its weaknesses
compared to the faster and well-armed modern fighters as Hurricane and Spitfire.
