Item GUI 1002, Wing Span 34 inches, Scale 1/16. Early in
World War 2, the world was stunned by the effective dive bombing tactics of the
JU 87 Stuka. First tested in the Spanish Civil War, it went through considerable
design changes before emerging as the formidable bomber of the early 40's. For
two years, this plane was one of the most successful weapons of the Luftwaffe
and was used to spearhead the German drives into enemy territory. The JU 87 saw
much service on the Russian front as an anti-tank weapon and was also used in
the African desert on the Malta raids and in the Italian campaigns. Although
considered obsolete within two years after the beginning of the WW-2, the JU 87
went on to see action until the end of the war and enjoyed the distinction of
being, besides the American Douglas Dauntless,
the only mass-produced dive
bomber of WW-2.
