STUKA JU TANK BUSTER MARKINGS FULL

The JU-87G-1 version carrying two 37mm flack cannons in underwing pods. In 1942~45 its main work was close support in the Russian Front where it was an exceptional tank killer. But, During the Battle of Britain the show STUKA with its fixed landing gear was slaughtered by Allied fighters and was withdrawn to attack targets which were not heavily defended. In Poland, the Low Countries and France the JU-87 was terribly effective and it repeated its success in Greese, Creta and parts of the Russian front. During the Spanish Civil War, without serious enemy fighter opposition, the JU-87 proved ideal for the mission, able to dive very steepy at relatively slow speeds with an automatic pull-out device, yielding excellent accuracy.

7.92mm, suspended - up to 450 kg of bombs.The JU-87 STUKA (the word for dive bomber) flew for the first time in 1935, and it entered production in 1937 with large trousered landing gear and full equipment for dive bombing, including a heavy bomb crutch that swung the missile well clear of the fuselage before release. Technical data (version Ju-87B): length: 11m, wingspan: 13.8m, height: 4.23m, maximum speed: 390km / h, maximum range: 500km, maximum ceiling 8200m, armament: fixed - 3 machine guns cal. During the entire war, approximately 5,900 units of all versions of the Ju-87 were manufactured. The main weapons of this version were the two 37mm Bordkanone BK 3.7 cannons mounted in the trays under the wings. The last large-scale version of the Ju 87 was the Model G (Gustav), an attack aircraft and 'tank destroyer', which entered the line units in early 1943. The Ju-87D featured better armor than its predecessors. They had new versions of the Jumo 211 engine with 14HP. The D (Dora) version was the most widely produced and most frequently modified. It had a greater range than the B version, but was a bit slower. In turn, the Ju-87R (Richard) was launched into attacks on naval targets. It was driven by two versions of the Jumo 211 engine with 1000KM or 1200KM. The first mass-produced was the Ju-87 B (Berta). During the war, a dozen or so versions and versions of the Ju-87 were created. During the war, the production of the Ju-87 was suspended many times, but it always turned out that it should be restarted because there was no other aircraft that could worthily replace it. Hans Ulrich Rudel - the Luftwaffe pilot, honored with the greatest number of awards, had 519 destroyed Soviet tanks on his account. On the Eastern Front, the Ju-87 played a role primarily as a close support aircraft and an excellent tank destroyer. However, during the Battle of Britain, slow Stukas with a permanently mounted landing gear were simply massacred by RAF planes, and as a result they were delegated to attack less defended targets. Stuka's fame was confirmed during his activities in Poland, the Netherlands, France, Greece and Crete. Thanks to the possibility of a very steep diving, while maintaining a relatively low speed, it achieved a very high bombing efficiency. During the civil war in Spain, without encountering any serious enemy in the air, he could prove effective in the missions for which he was created. The creator of the machine was Hermann Pohlmann, and the Ju-87 first flew into the air in 1935, and went into production two years later. At the beginning of the war (1939-1941) it became a symbol of the Blitzkrieg, often causing panic among enemy soldiers by installing acoustic sirens (the so-called jerychońskie trunks), causing a specific sound during a diving flight. The Ju-87 is one of the most famous Luftwaffe aircraft, a symbol of its power next to the Me-109.

The Junkers Ju-87 Stuka (short for German Sturzkampfflugzeug, meaning dive bomber) is a German single-engine dive bomber with a classic tail, wings in an inverted gull-wing configuration and all-metal construction.
