1/72 JU-87G-2 Stuka

Overview
The JU 87 STUKA (the word for dive bomber) flew for the first time in 1935, and it entered production in 1937 with large landing gear wheel pants and full equipment for dive bombing, including a heavy bomb crutch that swung the missile well clear of the fuselage before release.

In 1942~45, its main work was close support on the Russian Front where it was an exceptional tank killer. The JU 87G-1 version carried two 37mm flak cannons in under wing pods. Hans Ulrich Rudel, the most decorated Luftwaffe pilot of the war, claimed 519 Russian tanks. Throughout the war STUKA production was repeatedly ordered to end, only to be restarted since there were very few aircraft specialized enough to replace it.
