Italeri 1/48 Ju 87 D-5 Stuka 2709 - Precision WWII Scale Kit

The Italeri 1/48 Ju 87 D-5 Stuka model kit provides a faithful scale rendition of the famed dive bomber. It benefits from new moulds, a comprehensive super decal sheet and a set of photo-etched components to sharpen cockpit and surface detail. The fully detailed engine gives builders scope for realistic presentation and weathering.

A Concise Look at the Stuka's Service

Famous for its distinctive dive tactics, the Ju 87 Stuka played a significant role in early air operations. As combat conditions changed, the type transitioned to support and secondary roles, yet its form remains an interesting subject for historically accurate modelling projects and battle damage effects.

Features That Matter to Modellers

The kit's refined moulding enhances panel lines and part fit, while the photo-etched fret and decal set increase authenticity. The visible, fully detailed engine is well suited to scratch additions and painting techniques that emphasise mechanical detail on the finished model.
