Assuming you're still in Prague, here's the Czech Sparmax distributor. They seem to have parts in stock, can't tell if they have yours as I can't find a copy of the parts list online. You should have one that came with your airbrush.

HTH.
There's a thousand needle repair videos online, and if I can do it, anyone can. Watch a few and have a go, it's not difficult.

Lovely work. At the risk of causing pain, what this needs is some crew, to give a real sense of just how small these ships were. A half dozen on deck would probably do, but the full complement would be amazing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Co-belligerent_Air_Force
According to the above Wikipedia article, the Co-belligerent AF didn't use the Ju-87, but the National Republican Air Force did (that's the bit of the Italian Royal AF that remained in Axis control). There's a link in the above link (hmm...) that will take you to an article about the NRAF.
However...
In their book Junkers Ju-87 Stuka, Martin Derry and Neil Robinson have this to say.:
<No Ju 87Bs or Rs appear to have made it to the Armistice of September 1943, and the few Ju 87Ds that were left to serve in the Italian CoBelligerent Air Force (Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana, ACI), which was formed in southern Italy in October 1943 and formed the basis of the postwar Aeronautica Militare Italiana (AMI, Italian Air Force), appear to have been relegated to the training role after a few bombing missions in the Balkans, indeed the ACI never operated over Italian territory, to avoid any possible encounter between Italian-manned aircraft fighting on opposite sides. The Regia Aeronautica national markings were painted over, including the white fuselage band and unit markings, and green/white/red roundels were applied to the fuselage sides and above and below the wings. A small section of the Regia Aeronautica remained under German control in the north, and was renamed as the National Republican Air Force (Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, or ANR), but it is doubtful if any Ju 87s were used operationally by the ANR. >
As for ordnance and weapons - my guess would be that there would be plenty of captured German bombs and ammunition, and given the short time that the Stukas were in use, it makes no sense that there'd be any attempt to make Allied weapons fit.

Interesting that it comes with everything to make a wall vignette... but the box cover art doesn't even hint at that.
That's the way that Matchbox did all their 76th armour, and Matchbox boxes made a point of letting you know about the base.

1. No.
2. I usually airbrush or brush a quick coat of a matt medium to light grey Humbrol enamel over it when I'm finished fettling, just to protect it from further work/handling/washing. Acrylics would probably work just as well.

I'm hoping that the thingy I ran my fuel line into is indeed the mechanical fuel pump. Otherwise it is now.
It is, except that neither line goes into the bottom of it... I guess one does now. Maybe it's a Chinesium aftermarket pump. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They're certainly popular, I've missed out yet again on being able to buy! Here's to another restock.
No hurry, I need more kit bits like I need another hole in the head - the hole would probably be of more use, it may let a little wisdom in.

1993 was the first issue of the base kit that this one comes from.
To my eye, while they're not perfect, they're a lovely delicate rendition of the Griffon Spits, even if the cockpit's a fiction and the nose and spine inserts are a bit fiddly - not impossible, as even I can make them work! I've built a few of them, and have too many left in the stash to get to.
It's looking great so far, will follow along.
