Guillow's 500 Series Ju-87B Stuka

The 500 series are the most popular kits in the Guillow's line-up!  These easy-building kits contain laser cut balsa parts, plastic cowls and canopies, decals, plastic prop, wheels, tissue and a 24-page model building booklet.  Approximately 1/30 scale, each model has a 16½” wingspan.

The Stuka is rarely built as a flyer and this model might be better for display.

Any of the 500 series are a great way to get started in building smaller rubber-powered scale model airplanes.  For those wanting to fly, we suggest you upgrade your model with one of our small (4.75" or 6") props, Super Sport rubber and our Asuka 'Flying Bird' tissue.

For now, we will carry the entire 500 series line.  The models with the best potential to fly well include the Focke-Wulf FW-190, Messerschmitt BF-109, F6F Hellcat, Hawker Hurricane and A6M2-N Rufe.  If the model you want is out of stock, just contact us and we will get it for you!

*** The Stuka was specifically designed for a vertical bomb run, known as “dive-bombing”.  The 87-B model was the most widely used of the Stuka aircraft and first saw service during the 1939 Polish Campaign.  In May 1940, it successfully led the German invasion of France and the low countries but had to be withdrawn from battle when it suffered heavy losses at the hands of Britain’s Royal Air Force during the air “blitz” of southern England.  The nickname "Stuka" is an abbreviation of “Sturzkampfflugzeug”- which means dive-bomber in German.
