The reputation of the  Junkers Ju 87 Stuka (dive-bomber) was made during the Polish campaign in close-support operations across Europe. The Luftwaffe believed this airplane to be virtually invincible. Ju 87s were deployed extensively on the Eastern Front, initially with great success; but by 1943 the planes were suffering such severe losses by daylight that they were switched to a night assault role. When production ended more than 5,700 airplanes had been built, the majority after 1940 when their vulnerability without adequate fighter cover had already been highlighted in the Battle of Britain. The  Junkers Ju 87D-1 was powered by one 1,410-hp  Junkers Jumo 211J-1 12-cylinder inverted-Vee piston engine, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 255 mph at 12,600 feet, service ceiling of 23,915 feet, and a maximum range of 954 miles. Airplane armament was 31-caliber MG 17 machine guns in wings and two similar caliber MG 81Z guns in rear cockpit, plus up to 3,968 lbs. of bombs beneath fuselage, or various alternative underfuselage/underwing loads.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
