Seagull Models Junkers Ju-87 Stuka 2.28m
A Legendary Dive Bomber — Brought to Life in Large-Scale RC
Few aircraft have a silhouette as instantly recognizable as the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka. With its distinctive inverted gull wing, fixed landing gear spats, dive brakes, and unmistakable cockpit canopy, the Stuka remains one of aviation's most iconic aircraft designs.
Seagull Models captures that character in an impressive 2.28 m wingspan scale model, combining authentic details, lightweight construction, and excellent flying characteristics in a package designed for experienced RC pilots.
At Aerobertics, we appreciate scale models that go beyond simply reproducing an aircraft's shape. The Seagull Ju-87 is packed with the details that make the original so recognizable — from the dive brakes and semi-floating control surfaces to the detailed cockpit, wheel spats, rear machine gun, dive sirens, and bracing.
It's a model that doesn't just look impressive on the ground. Once airborne, its size and scale presence make it a real centerpiece at the flying field.
Impressive Scale Presence
With a 2,286 mm wingspan and 1,734 mm overall length, the Ju-87 has a substantial presence without becoming impractical to transport.
Seagull Models has reproduced many of the Stuka's characteristic features, including:
The result is a model with the unmistakable personality of the original aircraft.
Lightweight Balsa & Plywood Construction
The airframe is built using high-quality lightweight balsa and plywood, providing a strong yet weight-conscious structure.
The aircraft is finished in genuine matte Oracover film, giving the Ju-87 an authentic military appearance while providing a practical and durable covering.
Factory-finished fiberglass components further enhance the scale appearance. The engine cowl and wheel spats are beautifully painted and finished, while the crisp molding captures the characteristic shapes of the original aircraft.
Detailed Cockpit
The scale cockpit is one of the model's highlights.
Inside you'll find a detailed cockpit arrangement complete with a lightweight painted pilot figure and rear gunner, adding considerable realism without unnecessarily increasing the aircraft's weight.
The removable cockpit hatch provides convenient access to the radio equipment and flight battery, making pre-flight preparation and maintenance much easier.
The crystal-clear screw-on canopy completes the glasshouse cockpit and provides an excellent view of the detailed interior.
Glow or Electric Power
The Ju-87 offers flexibility when it comes to propulsion.
For traditional large-scale RC enthusiasts, the model is designed around 38–50cc two-stroke gasoline engines.
For electric pilots, Seagull includes an electric conversion package, allowing the aircraft to be equipped with a powerful electric setup in the 3,600–6,000 W range, using a 160–200A ESC and 12S LiPo battery system.
This flexibility makes it possible to choose the propulsion system that best suits your flying style and existing equipment.
Practical Transport & Assembly
Despite its impressive size, the Ju-87 has been designed with practicality in mind.
The outer wing panels plug into the center section, simplifying transportation and making assembly at the flying field straightforward.
The removable cockpit hatch also provides convenient access to the electronics, while the supplied hardware package includes the components required for either glow/gas or electric installation.
Scale Features That Make the Difference
This isn't a generic warbird with a Stuka-inspired paint scheme.
The model includes numerous details specifically associated with the Ju-87:
These details give the aircraft an unmistakable presence both on the ground and in the air.
Flying Characteristics
Despite its scale appearance and substantial size, the Ju-87 has been designed to offer excellent flying characteristics.
Its large wing area and lightweight construction contribute to predictable handling, while the scale control surfaces provide plenty of authority for experienced pilots.
The model is best suited to intermediate and advanced RC pilots with appropriate experience flying large-scale aircraft.

Aerobertics' Take
The Ju-87 Stuka is not the kind of model that quietly blends into the flight line — and that's exactly the point.
At Aerobertics, we love scale warbirds that combine authentic detailing with genuinely enjoyable flying characteristics, and this Seagull Ju-87 ticks both boxes.
The 2.28 m wingspan, detailed cockpit, functional-style dive brakes, iconic wheel spats, sirens, bombs, and semi-floating control surfaces give it an unmistakable presence. At the same time, the lightweight construction and choice between 38–50cc gas power or a powerful 12S electric setup make it a versatile platform for serious scale pilots.
Whether you're looking for a centerpiece for your warbird collection or a model that will turn heads every time you arrive at the flying field, this Stuka delivers the presence you expect from a large-scale Ju-87.
Iconic silhouette. Serious scale detail. Big-aircraft presence.
