Description

By the end of the first year of the war the German Luftwaffe command must already have known that the Junkers Ju 87B was not longer capable of meeting the requirements in many respects. The gradual improvement in the ground defences and the increasing use combat aircraft during the war led to the transformation of the Ju 87 into a fighter-bomber. The D version received a more powerful engine, new aerodynamic fairing and stronger armour. Its new role was now primarily that of ground attack, including anti-tank warfare with a 37 mm cannon. In the spring of 1944 the work of converting the Ju 87 D-3 into tank destroyer types G-1 and G-2 finally began. Model details: Jumo 211 engine; Movable propeller; Detailed cockpit; Surface structural details; Removable engine cowling; One twin-barrelled MG; Two SC 50 bombs; Two separate cannon for the G-2 version; and Decals for a D and a G-2 version. Paint colors needed: Matte Anthracite Gray, Matte Dust Gray, Matte Light Blue, Matte Dark Green, Matte Light Olive, Metallic Steel, Matte Yellow, Matte Black Green, Matte White, Matte Blue, Matte Olive Brown, Metallic Aluminum, Matte Snady Yellow, and Matte Black.
