From Cutting Edge comes this sheet for the Hasegawa 1/32 Ju-87D kit. Both of these are from II./StG 2 as operating on the Russian Front in early 1942.

First one is in the standard colors of RLM 70/71/65 and has a yellow tip to the spinner, fuselage band, underside of the wings and  on the back of the wheel spat. .

The other is a Ju-87D-1 as well and wears a whitewash over the standard scheme. You might also note that this aircraft has the beefier Ju-87B/R landing gear. I'm not sure if the kit provides this option, but it was not at all uncommon to see it as the thinner D gear often collapsed under the additional weight of the aircraft. Until stronger, thinner gear could be made, many aircraft left the factory with these larger units.

The kit provides full instructions on applying the markings and there are enough to do one of the options.
