On this sheet are four Ju-87s. The first one is a B-2 variant from 3./SG 2 from the Battle of Britain. This RLM 70/71/65  aircraft was one of those shot down during an early mission by Hurricanes of 601 Squadron in August of 1940. The losses were so high in most all BoB Stuka missions that they were quickly removed from action.

Next is a B-1 from the 5./SG 2. This time it is a machine that took part in the fall of France and was much more successful against a less determined enemy. It is painted as the above aircraft. It also has the later ejector exhaust of the Ju-87B-2 instead of the straight pipes of the B-1. It retains the solid cowl flaps and narrow prop of the B-1

From 4./SG 1 is a B-1 version, again from the Battle of Britain. This has the straight pipe exhaust as well as the solid cowl flaps and narrow prop. Doing this version will require a bit of scratch-building as I don't think there are any aftermarket bits for this variant.

Finally, a garishly marked snake on the sides of this 6./SG 2 Ju-87B-2. It is in the desert scheme of RLM 79/80 uppers and probably RLM 65 lowers as the upper surface colors were simply painted over the original RLM 70/71. You can see that the pattern is very non-standard.
