The Italeri 2807 renders the Junkers JU-87B Stuka in 1/48 scale, highlighting the aircraft's notable gull-wing profile and fixed undercarriage. Issued for the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, this kit offers a straightforward route to a museum-quality static model when built carefully.
First flown in 1935, the Ju 87 gained prominence in early conflicts for its dive-bombing role and the inclusion of automatic pull-up dive brakes. While effective in early campaigns, it later proved vulnerable to newer fighters as the war progressed.
Modellers will find the Italeri parts well defined for the scale, allowing for neat cockpit detail and realistic external surfaces. Accurate painting and careful assembly will produce a convincing representation suitable for collectors.
