Airfix 1/48 Junkers Ju87B-1 Stuka 07114
Description
Arguably one of the most distinctive aircraft of WWII, the
Ju87B Stuka was a highly effective dive and attack bomber,
capable of delivering precision bombing attacks, in support of
the Germans ‘Lightning War’ concept. It also specifically
employed the use of screaming sirens, designed to spread fear
and panic amongst the enemy, both military and civilian.
Perhaps the most feared exponent of the Blitzkrieg
phenomenon was the dreaded Junkers Ju-87 Stuka, which could
quite easily be described as the first modern ‘terror weapon’.
Designed specifically to instil fear and confusion into both
enemy troops and the population in general, the Stuka was a
highly effective, precision dive-bomber, which was used as a
flying propaganda machine for the Wehrmacht. A terrifying
wailing siren was intentionally bolted to the Stukas airframe,
to herald the fact that you were in the way of the Wehrmacht and
as a consequence, found yourself in grave danger. The Stuka was
the embodiment of Blitzkrieg!
