Kagero 3055 Ju 87D/G vol. II EN – Monograph of the Junkers Ju 87D/G Aircraft

The monograph Kagero 3055 Ju 87D/G vol. II EN is the second volume of an extremely detailed study dedicated to one of the most well-known dive bombers of World War II – the Junkers Ju 87 in its D and G variants. The authors of the publication are renowned aviation historians – Marek J. Murawski and Marek Ryś. The book focuses on the later variants of this German aircraft, which was intensively used by the Luftwaffe between 1937 and 1945, primarily during World War II. It describes both combat operations carried out by units using the Ju 87D as a dive bomber and close air support aircraft, as well as the actions of the most famous pilots – including Hans-Ulrich Rudel, the legendary tank destroyer flying the Ju 87G version.

• Number of pages: 112, richly illustrated with archival photographs (86 items)
• As many as 78 3D renders showing the aircraft’s construction in detail
• Two modeling plan sheets in A4 scale to assist in model building
• Color schemes and detail photos for modelers
• Format: 210x295 mm – standard A4
• High-quality matte paper, soft cover
• Book in English

This publication is intended for aviation history enthusiasts and demanding modelers who build plastic scale models in 1/72, 1/48, or 1/32. The rich photographic documentation, modeling plans, and detailed renders make this book an invaluable reference source. Thanks to historical accounts, pilots’ memoirs, and descriptions of the most famous combat missions, reading it helps to better understand the role of Ju 87 bombers on all fronts of World War II and the evolution of the design from the D version (improved durability, more powerful engine) to the anti-tank G version (37 mm Bordkanone cannons).

Category: modeling literature / historical studies

I definitely recommend this monograph both to advanced modelers and aviation enthusiasts interested in the technology and history of the Luftwaffe. I rate the difficulty of using the book as a basis for model enhancement at level 1/5 – the clear graphic layout and abundance of illustrative material make it easy to use at every stage of building the model.
