Historical Background
The Junkers Ju-87 “Stuka”, introduced during the mid-1930s, gained notoriety for its precision dive-bombing tactics, characterized by steep angles of attack and the infamous siren (“Jericho Trumpet”) that terrified enemy ground forces. The B2 variant, in particular, played a pivotal role in early WWII operations, from Poland and France to North Africa and the Eastern Front. Although increasingly vulnerable to modern fighters, the Ju-87’s sturdy frame, potent payload, and pinpoint accuracy solidified its place in Luftwaffe doctrine, shaping ground-attack strategies for years to come. By adopting these color photo-etched parts into your Zvezda Ju-87B2 kit, you commemorate one of WWII’s most iconic dive bombers, bringing to light the intricate components that defined its combat effectiveness and psychological impact.
