Oberst Hans-Ulrich Rudel was the most highly decorated member of the entire whermacht.  He flew this Ju-87G1 in Russia.  During the war, he destroyed a battleship, over 500 tanks, 800 vehicles, 70 landing ship, many artillery positions, armoured trains and bridges.  He also shot down 9 enemy aircraft.

This model depicts a Ju-87G1 assigned to the Stab SG2, flown by Rudel in 1944.  The kit was built from the box using the 1/48 Hasegawa kit, except for the two 37mm cannons which are from Aires and the 2 Eduard seat belts.  I used lifecolor acrylics paints and decals from the box.
