Junkers Ju87B Stuka, Topdrawings No.54 (Kagero, 2018)

Kagero Publishing continue to release many interesting books in their highly successful and popular “TopDrawings” series. These books provide scale drawings of the aircraft components, as well as large colour plates/profiles, and are great looking reference books for modelers at an affordable price.

Number 54 in this series is about the famous Luftwaffe dive bomber Junkers Ju87B Stuka of WW2. This 24 page soft cover book provides pages of excellent 1/48 & 1/72 scale plans, by Maciej Noszczak, for the different “B” variants of this famous aircraft. An introductory text gives us a basic background to the aircraft, and this is presented in both English and Polish.

As well as the selection of scale plans, the back cover and the centre pages present ten (10) big realistic colour profiles (two profiles arranged in each page), with excellent artwork by Arkadiusz Wrobel, which illustrate a mix of colours and markings, for aircraft serving with the Luftwaffe.

All “B” main variants are covered, from the early B-1 to the B-2 & B-2/R-2. Some of the drawings show the engine. As a bonus there is a separate A3 size sheet with top & bottom views of B-1 & B-2 variants with two extra big color profiles plus a set of vinyl self-adhesive masks for use when airbrushing the canopy - in both 1/72 & 1/48 scale (see photos).

All in all a highly recommended book, which will help you a lot when building/superdetailing/riveting a scale model of the Ju87B. You can even check the accuracy (or inaccuracies!) of your kits against these superb scale drawings.
