1:72 Scale Diecast Metal - Junkers Ju-87 Stuka WWII German Dive Bomber ? Length: 6" Wingspan: 7.5? This model is already assembled and painted. The photos show how the model will look like when taken out of the box. This Ju-87 Stuka model is a two-seat airplane. The cockpit is glue shut. It has no pilot/crew figurines included. The landing gear is fixed. A display stand is included. Attached to the fuselage is a single bomb. This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It is mostly metal and very heavy. It also has a number of antennas which look great but are very fragile. If you have small kids that like to play with your models, save yourself some frustration (and money) and wait till later to get a model like this one. The box is labeled as not suitable for children under 14. The maker of this model, Oxford, did a good job with this model, specifically the color scheme and the markings are very crisp and clear. The panel lines and hatches are very nicely done (engraved). The box measures at 7.5 inches by 7.5 inches by 3.25 inches. The Junkers Ju 87, popularly known as the "Stuka", is a German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Designed by Hermann Pohlmann, it first flew in 1935. The Ju 87 made its combat debut in 1937 with the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War of 1936?1939 and served the Axis in World War II from beginning to end (1939?1945). The aircraft is easily recognisable by its inverted gull wings and fixed spatted undercarriage. Upon the leading edges of its faired main gear legs were mounted ram-air sirens, officially called "Larmgerat" (noise device), which became a propaganda symbol of German air power and of the so-called Blitzkrieg victories of 1939?1942, as well as providing Stuka pilots with audible feedback as to speed. The Stuka's design included several innovations, including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the aircraft recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out from the high g-forces, or suffered from target fixation.
