Revell Junkers Ju 87 G-2 Tank Buster

Already after the first year of the war, the German Luftwaffe leadership had to recognize that the Junkers Ju 87B no longer met the requirements in many areas. The ever-increasing ground defenses and fighter use during the war led to a task restructuring of the Ju 87 as a battle plane. The D version received a more powerful engine, a new aerodynamic fairing and stronger armour. Its new mission was now primarily ground combat, which included anti-tank operations using a 3.7 cm calibre gun. Finally, in the spring of 1944, work began on converting the Ju 87D-3 into G-1 and G-2 tank destroyers. Jumo 211 engine. Movable propeller. Detailed cockpit. Textured surfaces. Removable engine compartment cowling. One twin MG. Two SC 50 bombs. Two separate on-board guns for the G-2 version. Decals for a D and a G-2 version: Junkers Ju 87G-2 of 10th (Pz) St.G 3, Jakobstadt, Latvia; July 1944. Junkers Ju 87D-3 of 4th /St.G 2 Russia 1944.
