Plastmodeller Revell Junkers Ju 87 G/D Tank Buster

By  the end of the first year of the war the  German Luftwaffe command must already have known that  the Junkers Ju  87B was not longer capable of meeting the requirements in  many  respects. The gradual improvement in the ground defences and the  increasing use combat aircraft during the war led  to the transformation  of the Ju 87 into a fighter-bomber. The D version  received a more  powerful engine, new aerodynamic fairing and stronger armour. Its new  role was now primarily that of ground  attack, including anti-tank  warfare with a 37 mm cannon. In the spring  of 1944 the work of  converting the Ju 87 D-3 into tank destroyer types G-1 and G-2 finally  began.
