Italeri 2769 - Ju 87 B-2/R-2 Stuka Picchiatello 1/48 Scale Model

The Ju 87 Stuka is an iconic World War II dive bomber, instantly recognised by its inverted gull wings and distinctive silhouette. This Italeri kit focuses on the variants used by the Italian Regia Aeronautica in the early 1940s, commonly known as "Picchiatello", which saw service over Malta, North Africa and wider Mediterranean operations.

Operational Background and Role

Employed for precision dive-bombing, the Ju 87 proved effective in the early stages of the war. Around 150 of these aircraft were supplied to the Italian air force and played a role in several campaigns. Building this Italeri model gives hobbyists a hands-on link to that chapter of aviation history.
