PaulR Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Dear all, Am just cracking open the 1/72 Airfix Stuka Ju87 B1 for my annual Battle of Britain project, and was looking at the very effective box-art. It appears to be over England, and there's a 43 sqn Hurricane lurking in the distance; does anyone know if this artwork tied to a specific raid or action/date? I did think it might be the 18th August raids over the Solent, Ford etc bearing in mind the backdrop and the location of 43 sqn etc but I don't think the supplied markings are for the right unit. My books say it was St.G77, where as the the airfix box says St.G 55, which I don't think actually existed? Other sources say the decals are for StG1, which wasn't involved in the 18th August raids to the best of my knowledge. Anyhow, if any one rather more knowledgeable has any thoughts, I'd be all ears! Best, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonar Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 If it's supposed to be August 1940, then 6G would be II./St.G.1.....I think Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
