Italeri 2807 - 1/48 Junkers JU-87B Stuka Battle of Britian 80th Anniversary  [IT-2807S]

The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka finished up being a two-seat dive-bomber/ground-attack aircraft. The Stuka first travelled in 1935 making its combat first in 1936 within the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War . The aircraft had been effortlessly recognizable by its inverted gull wings and fixed landing gears. The Stuka's design included several innovative features, including automatic pull-up plunge braking system system under both wings to ensure that the airplane recovered from the assault plunge whether or not the pilot blacked from the acceleration. It became quickly the symbol associated with the German “Blitzkrieg” throughout the very first stages linked to the Second World War providing the environment support toward Wehrmacht Panzer Divisions. It had been used by Luftwaffe through the entire Battle of Britain where it shown its weaknesses set alongside the faster and well-armed modern fighters as Hurricane and Spitfire.
