Junkers Ju-87R-2 åÎA5+HH - 1./StG 1, Krainici, Bulgaria, 1941 This machine is unusual in having the entire tail unit painted yellow åÎë_ this was presumably done because the Ju 87 was the mount of a formation leader. Note the Gruppe emblem on the cowling a stylized depiction of åÎHans HuckebeinåÎëíåÌ´åå, who was a cartoon raven popular in the 19th century. Hastily summoned from North Africa to reinforce StG 2 in Bulgaria immediately prior to the invasion of Yugoslavia and Greece, I./StG 1 nevertheless found time to apply the yellow theatre markings specified for Operation Marita (Balkans invasion) by the Luftwaffe high command.

This is a very detailed model for the money. Very satisfied with it.

Corgi produced another excellent model. Detailing was superb, and the details conform to those mentioned in the old Profile series. Highly recommended.
