As a frequent shopper on HBG.com (Historical Board Gaming), I discovered they have some new 3-D printed models of the Ju-187 dive bomber. Never heard of this aircraft before and have never seen a custom card on here of on here either. So, this is may take on one. I gave it 'Press the Attack' with the hope of getting some use out of it.
Ju-187
Junkers 1943
Statistics:
Introduced: Not introduced
Wingspan: 59 ft, 3 in
Length: 38 ft, 9 in
Speed: 250 mph max.
Service Ceiling: 24, 606 ft.
Range: 1, 087 mi
Production #’s: 0
Armament: 2 x 20mm cannons,
1 x 15mm & 1 x 13mm MG’s
1 x 1, 100 lb. bomb
History:
The Junkers Ju-187 was a German projected dive bomber
designed to replace the ageing Junkers Ju- 87 Stuka. This
new design would have featured retractable landing gear,
increased armor protection for the crew, engine and fuel
tank and a rotating tail (giving the rear-gunner an
unobstructed field of fire). The Ju-187 project was hindered
by the fact that the Me-109 and Fw-190 fighters - available
in larger quantities by this point in the war - had been
successfully converted to capable dive bombers in their
own right, thusly negating the need for a new, costly and
dedicated dive bomber design.
