Hasegawa #09054 1/48 Junkers Ju87G-2 Stuka Anti Tank Attacker
The new Ju87 D-series began planning in early 1940.
The oil cooler is attached to the underside of the nose, and the radiators are installed on both sides of the underside of the main landing gear. It has become a sophisticated shape and has become an aerodynamically superior aircraft.
In addition, we have increased the on-board fuel capacity and added bulletproof steel plates around the occupants.
Although it is a D type introduced on each front, it was clear that it was inferior to Allied fighters at a maximum speed of about 400 km / h.
However, there was still room for activity on the Eastern Front, where there are few high-performance Allied fighters.
The D-5 is equipped with a detachable main landing gear with an extended wing tip as a countermeasure against the wing loading that has increased to near the limit due to repeated repairs, and the dive brake was removed in the latter model.
The G-2 was based on the D5's fuselage, with 37mm cannons attached to the underside of both wings, and the 20mm cannons on the wings were removed.
The operation area was mainly the Eastern Front, and it was effective against Soviet anti-tank attacks.
