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

The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka ended up being a two-seat dive-bomber/ground-attack aircraft. The Stuka first travelled in 1935 and made 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 a few innovative features, including automated pull-up plunge brake system under both wings to ensure that the airplane recovered from the attack dive regardless if the pilot blacked out of the acceleration. It became quickly the icon associated with the German “Blitzkrieg” throughout the very first stages associated with the Second World War supplying the atmosphere support toward Wehrmacht Panzer Divisions. It was utilized by Luftwaffe throughout the Battle of Britain in which it shown its weaknesses compared to the quicker and well-armed contemporary fighters as Hurricane and Spitfire.
