| | Eduard Ju 87 Stuka 1/144 |
 | | Stuka, the word itself being a contraction of the German term “Sturkampfflugzeug” (diving battle aircraft; the generic term for all dive bombers), became a household word on both sides of the war, though by 1939, the term specifically implied the type Ju 87. |
 | | From the A and various B models, the carrier based Ju 87C, with folding wings, Ju 87D(1 through 8), Ju 87 B/R with long range fuel tanks, an experimental torpedo bomber version listed as the Ju 87E, and finally the Ju 87G(1, 2) “Tank Buster”, armed with two 3.7cm cannon pods mounted under the wings. |
 | | In 1944, many Ju 87D’s were stripped of armament and used in a training role, listed as the Ju 87 H-1 through H-8. |
