Italeri 1/72 JU-87 B2 Stuka - product summary

This Italeri 1/72 representation of the JU-87 B2 Stuka provides a focused small scale build that highlights the plane's distinctive gull wings and fixed undercarriage. The kit is aimed at modellers wanting a historically recognisable dive bomber in a display-friendly size.

Service record and limitations

The Stuka carried out dive attacks and close support in multiple campaigns where air superiority was maintained. It proved vulnerable without fighter cover, which limited its effectiveness later in the war against faster opposition.

Hints for assembly and display

Finished length is approximately 15.4 cm, making the model easy to show on a shelf or in a diorama. Pre-painting cockpit parts and careful decal placement will improve the finished result. Use thin glue sparingly on delicate joins.

Specifications

Yes, at roughly 15.4 cm long the completed model fits well into most display cabinets and can be secured to a small base or stand for stability.
Cockpit enhancement is possible using aftermarket detail sets or scratchbuilding. Painting fine instrument panels and adding seatbelts improve realism.
Use standard plastic model cement or fine applicator CA for small joins. Avoid excess to prevent visible residue on panel surfaces.
