1:144 Junkers 87 – Zvezda 6123

On all major fronts, on almost all major German offensives, you could hear the screaming siren of the Stuka as the assault aircraft would engage targets to clear the way for the panzers!

Introduction

This kit is made and intended for the wargamer. You can see this from the simplicity of the build, the fact that it is snap fit and the fact that it has only 8 pieces to be assembled.

Evaluation

Plastic Quality 4.5 (Very Good) Very good. Hard plastic however because the pieces are small care must be taken
Number of Details 4.5 (Very Good) For the scale definitely very good.
Instructions 4.5 (Very Good) Instructions are very clear and self explanatory.
Building Time 5 (Perfect) Under 10 minutes?.
Enjoyment 4 (Good) I was about to rate it 5 however the tail is a bit fiddly to put on.

Excellent kit for wargamers in 15mm. Flames of War definitely springs to mind!
