The Best Overall Stuka

I know HM, Dragon, and Corgi all make different versions of the Stuka but, regardless of version, is their a clear winner here if I just wanted one Stuka in my collection? How would you rank them?

Re: The Best Overall Stuka

IMHO, Corgi makes the best version of the overall Stuka and the best B model.. The two Stukas that rank the highest for me are the Snake Stuka and the Lybian Acroma Stuka, which are probably the finest Stukas made by anyone.. Hobbymaster's later issue Stukas are a close second and Dragon coming in a distant third..

I tend to agree with you except Corgi's JU-87B, which was one of its early entries, wasn't provided with a pitot head---an all too obvious omission.

Re: The Best Overall Stuka

I rank Stukas in the following order: Corgi Snake DAK one, Corgi Predators what's his name one (sorry I real forgot this uber-warrior name, I'm not making fun) with cannons, and HM winter camouflage one from Pervomaisk. That's all I have and don't plan to add any more.

Regards,

Sergey

Re: The Best Overall Stuka

Re: The Best Overall Stuka

My first place choice for best overall Stuka would have to be a split between Corgi AA32502 Ju 87R-2 and AA32504 Ju 87B-2.

Re: The Best Overall Stuka

That is an awsome stand man.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: The Best Overall Stuka

Yep, Hans Rudel was the one I was thinking off. The only Stuka that I would add to my collection at this point is definitely Legion Condor.
