Italeri 1489 Junkers Ju 88 A-17 Torpedo Bomber 1:72 Model Kit

Description

The twin-engine Junkers Ju 88 bomber was undoubtedly one of the mainstays of the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. Extremely robust, versatile, and adaptable, it was employed as a conventional bomber, night fighter, ground-attack aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and torpedo bomber. The Ju 88 A-17 was developed from the same airframe as the A-4 bomber version, characterized by its low-wing configuration and two reliable, powerful 1,700 hp BMW radial engines. However, several substantial modifications were introduced, enabling the use of naval torpedoes adapted for aerial launch. The Ju 88 A-17 was deployed against Allied shipping on the main operational fronts, from the North Sea to the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
