Very nice model

[pzo]

Yes, it is nice. I would like to know if it is a model of an original Stuka, with original markings and unit logo? What unit it is? To whom it could be presented?

Plus the base is most likely a cross section of a stuka propellor..Billbert

Sorry but stuka propellers were NOT made of wood!

[billbert]

Of course it could be off another trainer craft or HS 123 or perhaps a very early Ju 87 stuka parts .. Billbert

none the less the base is most likely a ctoss sectioned prop on this fine rememberance..


Since German industry couldn't deliver the needed powerplant at the time, the Ju-87 V1 was fitted with a British Rolls Royce 12-cylinder, supercharged, liquid-cooled vee Kestrel engine with 391 kW (525 HP), as was the first prototype of the famous Messerschmitt Bf-109 fighter. The Kestrel engine drove a two-bladed fixed wooden prop. Engine cooling proved problematic, and so the V1 was refitted with a larger chin radiator, which did nothing to improve its looks.

perhaps it was broken because the swastika was there...
