Description

The top-notch plastic parts of Academy’s Junkers Ju 87G-2 are now joined by Special Hobby’s own styrene, resin and photo-etched conversion parts which all makes it possible to make the Junkers Ju 87 in the rare D-5/N/D-8 versions. And along all that, the conversion parts also take care of the very few issues the original kit has. These D-5/N/D-8 airframes were almost the last ones of the Stuka family to be flown in the bomber role and were operated from 1943 until the end of the war. They saw service not only with the Luftwafe, a couple of Axis states operated them, too. Due to the air superiority of the Allies though, these Stukas were most often used at night in ground-attack and bombing missions and as the dive brakes were not needed for such actions, these were often removed and exhausts with flame dampers were introduced on these versions.

The marking schemes and decals of this limited-quantity model kit caters for four Luftwaffe options fitted with two styles of night exhausts made of resin.

  • Attractive version
