Hans-Ulrich Rudel's Ju87 G tank buster



Finally I'd worked more on the Rudel's "Kanonenvogel" ( Cannonbird ) stuka for the last several days and able to post some preview images here. The plane is a Ju87G Stuka which was equipped with 2 Flak 18 37mm cannons and is mainly for tank buster role. Although the Ju87Gs were the least maneuverable of all the JU87 variants but they were used extensively on the Eastern Front and proved to be very effective tank killers. Stalin had placed a prize of 100,000 ruble for downing Rudel but no Russian pilot was able to claim the prize. More details will be added and will post more images here soon......

It's just great! Is this going to be a print, or is this for a model box? Check out http://timsblogfest.blogspot.com/2006/03/stuka-pilot.html
For more history. Very nice.
