The Italeri Junkers Ju-87G2 Kanonenvogel model kit in 1:72 scale brings to life one of WWII's most iconic aircraft. The Ju-87 dive bomber, known for its distinct gull wings, became a symbol of Blitzkrieg warfare.
The Ju-87G version was specifically developed as an "anti-tank" variant to tackle the increasing number of enemy armored vehicles on the Eastern Front. At the recommendation of Stuka ace Hans-Ulrich Rudel, the G model featured two 37 mm Flak 18 cannons mounted in underwing pods, significantly enhancing its combat effectiveness.
The G-2 model, with its expanded wing surfaces derived from the earlier D-5 version, further refined the aircraft's design. This kit offers enthusiasts a chance to build and display a faithful representation of the Ju-87G2, capturing the power and history of this formidable WWII machine.
