The JU-87 Stuka (the word for dive bomber) flew for the first time in 1935, and it entered production in 1937 with large trousered landing gear and full equipment for dive bombing, including a heavy bomb crutch that swung the missile well clear of the fuselage before release. During the Spanish Civil War, the JU-87 proved ideal for the mission, able to dive very steepy at relatively slow speeds with an automatic pull-out device, yielding excellent accuracy. In 1942-1945 its main work was close support in the Russian Front where it was an exceptional tank killer. Kit features: Fully engraved panel lines & rivet details. Highly detailed cockpit & landing gear. Authentic markings included. Paint colors needed: Flat Black, Flat White, Silver, Metallic Gray, Gun Metal, Clear Red, Clear Blue, Yellow, Light Blue, Black Gray, Black Green, and Dark Green.
