Diecast Aircraft Information

MetalWings Diecast Aircraft Reference by Dauntless Aviation

There were two versions of the Ju-87 used as tank busters, the G-1 with the short-wing span of
the D-3 model while the G-2 was based on the more aerodynamic long-wing span D-5 model.
The power plants were upgraded to Jumo 211J and two 30 mm (1.2 in) cannons added by
installing them in gun pods mounted under the wings and fired special armour-piercing
ammunition, with tungsten cores, at a muzzle velocity of 850m/sec. The Ju-87G1 was also
designed to carry a 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) free-fall bomb load.

On the morning of June 22, 1944 Soviets launched “Operation Bagration” to retake Belorussia
and Ukraine. 1.7 million Soviet troops along with 6,000 pieces of armor attacked 34 German
divisions with total surprise. By July 17, 1944 Germany had lost 300,000 dead and 120,000
captured and lost more than 2,000 tanks. This meant the loss of German Army Group Center. Still
wearing its factory registration, Ju-87 G-1 GS+MH from 4. Flieger-Division 10th (Pz) / SG 1 based
at Dubno, Ukraine took part in the failed defense.
