Trumpeter Scale Models 2423 1/24 Junkers Ju-87R Stuka Dive Bomber

Model Kit

The Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber might be one of the most famous bombers of WWII. It had been the main force in the ground support of the Air Force since the start of the Blitzkrieg.

A long range version of the Ju 87 B was also built, known as the Ju 87 R. They were primarily intended for anti-shipping missions. The Ju 87R had a B-series airframe with an additional oil tank and fuel lines to the outer wing stations to permit the use of two 300 L under-wing drop tanks. This increased fuel capacity to 1,080 litres (500 L in main fuel tank of which 480 L where usable + 600 L from drop tanks). To prevent overload conditions, bomb carrying ability was often restricted to a single 250 kg bomb if the aircraft was fully loaded with fuel.
