Seagull Models - SEA284G
**NEW DESERT SNAKE LIVERY**
JU-87 STUKA GIANT SCALE 40 - 50cc.
The Seagull Models JU‑87 Stuka “Desert Snake” is a commanding giant‑scale recreation of one of WWII’s most infamous dive bombers. With its 90‑inch wingspan, inverted gull wings, and fully detailed spatted undercarriage, this Stuka delivers an unmistakable presence both on the ground and in the air. Finished in a matte desert scheme and packed with scale features—including dive brakes, bombs, sirens, and a full glasshouse cockpit—this model captures the character of the original aircraft with impressive accuracy.
Built from high‑quality balsa and plywood and covered in genuine matte Oracover, the Stuka combines durability with a premium scale appearance. The factory‑painted fiberglass cowl and wheel spats, detailed cockpit with pilot and rear gunner, and included LED landing lights elevate the realism even further. Plug‑in outer wing panels make transport manageable despite the model’s size.
This is not a beginner’s aircraft. Designed for 38–50cc gas engines, the Stuka rewards experienced warbird pilots with stable, predictable flight characteristics and the unmistakable presence of a true dive bomber. With its oleo‑style sprung undercarriage, semi‑floating flaps, and braced tail group, the Desert Snake offers both authenticity and practicality in a giant‑scale ARF package.
For pilots ready to step into a large, feature‑rich warbird with serious scale appeal, the JU‑87 Stuka “Desert Snake” is a standout choice.
