Plastic model aircraft kit: Junkers Ju87 B-1 Stuka 1:72 Airfix 03087A

The Junkers Ju 87, commonly known as the Stuka (short for Sturzkampfflugzeug – dive bomber), is one of the most recognizable aircraft of the World War II era. This two-seater dive bomber became a symbol of German blitzkrieg tactics, sowing terror during the campaigns in Poland, France, and the initial phase of operations on the Eastern Front. Its characteristic silhouette with inverted gull wings and fixed landing gear made the machine easily identifiable in the sky.

Although the Stuka's design was considered obsolete by the outbreak of the war, the aircraft possessed advanced technical solutions, such as automatic aerodynamic brakes, which allowed for precise recovery from a vertical dive after dropping bombs. In the later period of the war, when the machine lost its advantage in clashes with modern fighters, the Stuka successfully served as a battlefield support aircraft and tank destroyer.

The 1:72 scale plastic model offers a faithful reproduction of the original, allowing you to build a miniature of this historic aircraft. The kit includes:

• 110 precisely made plastic parts
• Two painting options with decals
• Detailed assembly instructions

The model features a wingspan of 192 mm. It is an excellent choice for modelers looking for classic Luftwaffe machines that played a key role in the history of military aviation.

Kit for self-assembly and painting. Does not include paints or glue. To assemble, you will need separately sold modeling tools (e.g., nippers, files, tweezers), paints, brushes, and plastic model glue (e.g., Tamiya Extra Thin Cement). The photo shows a professionally assembled and painted model.
