Why this kit matters
The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka was a German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Designed by Hermann Pohlmann, it first flew in 1935 and made its combat debut in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. The Stuka became notorious during the early years of World War II due to its role in the Blitzkrieg tactics of the German Wehrmacht. It was easily identifiable by its inverted gull wings, fixed landing gear, and its spine-chilling Jericho-Trompete (Jericho Trumpet) siren.
This model kit allows you to recreate a symbol of early WWII aviation. Building this kit provides an engaging and educational experience, perfect for understanding the engineering and role of dive bombers in military history.
