Very, very intrigued by that last sentence - it makes me think it's a project other than the FHCAM R-2 at Everett.

Ju 87 B-3 Werk Nr. 110757 recovered in Poland in 2015?

Release no earlier than in 2025. Eduard will not be able to prepare this kit for 2024.

It's hard to call it a recovery, the plane is a (not very big) pile of scrap. The remains of an engine and a training bomb were recovered. The remains of the Romanian pilot have been exhumed.

Fair enough! Any other suggestions as to which one it could be?

Back to the Eduard kit - it would be nice if they did the carrier based  Ju87C with some decent wing-fold detail.

I'm glad to hear of the pilot being recovered. As far as the Stuka is concerned, Spitfires have come back from less...!

Great news, I'm waiting for their next coming Mig-21 Mongol, A6M2-K. But I think the Stuke shouldn't be for the 2024 release.

I like Stukas. I’m in

Technically, all you need is the manufacturer’s data plate that uniquely identifies the airframe.

[Graham Boak]

That's simplified.  The plate gives you the identity, but you also need access to the technical drawings and the manufacturing processes and the skilled workforce.  Theoretically everything but the dataplate can be new, but demonstrating the other requirements for a Ju.87 is likely to be difficult.  Generally, the support of the original manufacturer or its successor, or a third party approved by them or by the certifying authority.

 

Other nations may be stricter.

[Bozothenutter]

A good example of building around a plate is Spitfire P9374.

Left on a beach, the idiots recovering it decided to pull out the water and sandlogged aircraft with a JCB...🤬

It was completely rebuild, with some token parts incorporated.

Your basic hammer head/handle story....
