Corgi Aviation Archive Collector Series AA32503 Ju 87B Stuka Diecast Model Luftwaffe II/StG I, Eastern Front Limited Edition 1:72 Scale     Length     Width Junkers Ju 87B Stuka     6.25"     7.5" Used widely on the Eastern Front assaults against Russia until late 1943 the Stuka was a formidable and terrifying assault aircraft. The water-soluble white distemper used as snow camouflage weathered rapidly, washing off aircraft spines and becoming heavily stained by exhaust gasses. Seen here in this temporary white finish for the winter of 1941-42, this Ju 87B-2 also wears the yellow theatre band which by that time was becoming standard on the Eastern Front. It flew with Stab II/StG I (originally III/StG 51), whose unit emblem was painted on the cowling. The projection from the main leg is the siren, providing noise which helped strike fear into Soviet troops throughout this arduous campaign.
