HISTORY ASPECTS: The Junkers Ju-87B Stuka Stab III/StG 77 was a German dive bomber used during World War II. It was first deployed in the Battle of France in 1940, where it was used to support German ground troops in the invasion of France. The aircraft was known for its distinctive inverted gull wings and fixed undercarriage, as well as its ability to dive steeply to drop bombs with precision. The Ju-87B was used extensively in the early years of the war, including in the Battle of Britain and the invasion of the Soviet Union. It was also used in the North African campaign, where it proved to be vulnerable to the faster and more maneuverable fighter aircraft of the Allies. However, by the end of the war, the Ju-87B had become outdated and was gradually phased out of service. This 1:72 scale model aircraft by Oxford Diecast is a replica of a Ju-87B that served with Stab III/StG 77 in Caen, France in 1940. The model features accurate markings and details, including the distinctive inverted gull wings and fixed undercarriage of the actual aircraft.
