Here's a nice Stuka sheet for those of you who are considering building the very nice Hasegawa kit or even the older Airfix version. All three planes are in the RLM 70/71/65 splinter scheme. I should mention that all the kits I know of are the B-2 variety. There was some difference in the nose of the plane for a B-1 which is most visible in the exhaust area. I don't think the B-1 used ejector exhaust but had simple openings that were nearly flush with the sheet metal. The sheet provides enough common markings to do two aircraft.

First up is a B-2 from 4./StG 2 in North Africa during 1941. This plane has a white tip to the spinner and a white band on the fuselage behind the insignia.

Next is a B-1 variant from 5./StG 77 during the Battle of Britain in 1940.

Finally another B-2, this time from Stab II./JG 77 during the Greek Campaign of 1941. It has the yellow cowling that was the normal ID marking for this theater of war.
