Italeri 1466 - 1/72 Junker Ju 87 G-2 Kanonenvogel Stuka replica

The Italeri 1466 presents the Junker Ju 87 G-2 Kanonenvogel at 1/72 scale, offering a faithful miniature of the classic Stuka dive bomber. Its distinctive gull wings and combat adaptations make it a rewarding build for collectors of WWII aviation subjects.

Service history and modeller appeal

Used in several WWII theatres, the Ju 87 G-2 gained a niche as an anti-tank platform with twin cannons under the wings. The Italeri 1466 highlights these combat features, enabling builders to assemble an accurate small scale representation of the aircrafts wartime role.

Skill level and final presentation

Ideal for modellers who have moved beyond entry level kits, the parts require careful trimming and gluing. A well-finished model will display crisp lines and convincing detail, making it a neat addition to any 1/72 collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Cockpit detail is appropriate for 1/72 scale with basic instruments and seats represented. Modellers seeking high fidelity often add aftermarket parts or paint accents to lift the detail.
Mask the wing roots and use thin layers of primer before topcoating. Filling seams with a fine filler and sanding smooth will help maintain the wings graceful profile.
Use a solvent-based plastic cement for strong, invisible joints. Apply sparingly and hold parts in position until the bond sets to avoid excess squeeze out.
Apply a clear varnish or sealant to protect paint and decals. Choose satin or matte finishes to match the era and avoid glossy surfaces unless historically appropriate.
