Hobby Master HA0132 1/72 Air Power
Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power series HA0132 replicates in 1/72 scale Diecast the Ju 87G-1 Stuka Geschwaderkennung (squadron identification) T6+AD. Flown by Geschwaderkommodore Hans Rudel of Geschwader Stabschwarm, Schlachtgeschwader 2 (Ground Attack Wing 2), abreviation Stab/SG 2 “Immelmann”, Luftwaffe, Eastern Front.
Ju 87G
The Ju 87 g was an anti-tank variant with the wing-mounted guns and hardpoints removed, replaced by a BK3,7 (1.46 in) anti-tank cannon pod mounted under each wing, and improved armour, a more powerful engine. The Ju 87G-1 were modified Ju 87D-3s and the Ju 87G-2 from Ju 87D-5s.
Junkers Ju 87 Stuka
The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka (Sturzkampfflugzeug, “dive bomber”) is a World War II German tandem-seat single-engine monoplane dive-bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Recognisable by its inverted gull wings and fixed spatted undercarriage. The maiden flight took place on September 17, 1935, entered service in 1936, and made its combat debut in 1937 with the Luftwaffe’s Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).
While a critical component of the successful Blitzkrieg campaign early in the war, the loss of air superiority during the Battle of Britain made the Stuka vulnerable to fighter aircraft. As a result, most relocated to the Eastern Front and the Mediterranean. However, it remained in service until the end of the war.
It was manufactured in several variants before production of the Stuka ended in late 1944, with approximately 6,000 airframes built.
Further information on this aircraftAirframe
The all-metal airframe is mainly aluminium alloy with a semi-monocoque fuselage and enclosed tandem-seat cockpit. Wings are low-mounted cantilevered inverted gull wing designs with dive brakes. The tail assembly is a single-fin with a braced tailplanes structure; the undercarriage is a fixed tailwheel type with the primary units attached to the wings and spatted. The aircrew consists of a pilot and a gunner.
Performance
The Ju 87 used a single Junkers Jumo 211, a V-12 inverted liquid-cooled piston engine driving a three-bladed Junkers constant-speed propeller. The JU 87D-5 has a maximum speed of 410 km/h (255 mph), a dive speed of 650 km/h (404 mph), and a range of 1,529 km (950 mi) on internal fuel and a service ceiling of 7,390 m (24,248 ft).
Armament
The armament consists of two 7.92 mm (0.31 in) MG 17 machine guns, wing-mounted and one MG 17 or MG 15, rear-facing, in the cockpit. The -D used the MG-81Z (Z: twin) rear-facing, and from the -D-5 onwards, the wing-mounted MG 17s were replaced by two MG 151 20mm cannons.
The -G variant had the wing-mounted guns removed and replaced by a BK3,7 (1.46 in) anti-tank cannon pod mounted under each wing.
Three external hard-points; one under-fuselage carrying up to 250 kg (550 lb), two under-wing carrying up to 200 kg (440 lb) or Gun pods, and drop tanks.
