Junkers Ju 87 B-2 Stuka 2300mm (90.5″) Wingspan from Black Horse – Balsa Wood ARF – BHM1013-001
The Junkers Ju 87, commonly known as the “Stuka”, was a highly recognizable German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Making its first appearance in 1937, it played a crucial role for the Axis powers throughout World War II. One of its most distinctive features was its inverted gull wings. Additionally, the aircraft was equipped with ram-air sirens called Jericho trumpets on its faired main gear legs, which came to symbolize German air power and the famous Blitzkrieg campaigns of 1939-1942.
The Stuka was also equipped with innovative automatic pull-up dive brakes on both wings, ensuring a safe recovery from a dive even if the pilot experienced high g-forces or became too focused on their target. While it was a reliable and effective weapon against ground targets, the Stuka, like many other dive bombers of its time, was vulnerable to enemy fighter aircraft.
The Black Horse Stuka is scaled to approximately 1:6 and attention was paid to a true to original appearance and favorable flight characteristics. The model can be operated using an electric power system or with an internal combustion engine about 60cc displacement.
