Junkers Ju87 B-1 Stuka. AIRFIX A03087A

Assembly plastic kit of a Junkers Ju87 B-1 Stuka.

The Junkers Ju87 Stuka quickly became one of the most infamous and feared weapons of WWII. The two-man dive bomber first saw action in the skies over Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
Over the skies over Poland, France, and the Netherlands in 1940, the Stuka were able to operate in clear skies and did so effectively, but over southern England during the Battle of Britain, the Stuka faced strong opposition from the RAF fighters and suffered as a result. Later, the Stuka was used in the Balkans and the Western Desert, and it continued to serve Russia, as a tank destroyer, until the end of World War II.
