High quality Academy Junkers Ju-87G-2 styrene parts are now joined by our own designed and made styrene conversion parts, etches and resin parts, all of which gives you the very welcomed opportunity to turn the original Academy kit into the D-5/N/D-8 varieties. And at the same time, those new styrene parts also correct the very few mistakes which can be found in the kit. This version, which was effectively the very last bomber version of the Stuka, was first put into the service in 1943 and remained in use well until the end of the war, flying not only with the Luftwaffe, but with other Axis forces, too. And as the Allies enjoyed their air superiority in those latter war years, the Stukas were maainly operated at night both in the ground attack and bomber roles. These operations did not require dive brakes and these were usually removed, and a pair of exhaust dampers was also fitted.
The instruction sheet and decals included in this limited edition kit offer four Luftwaffe schemes, all of which sported the mentioned night type of exhausts " made from resin, and in fact you can chose from two styles of these night types of exhausts.
