A good reference is Osprey Combat Aircraft no. 6: Junkers Ju 87 Stukageschwader of North Africa and the Mediterranean. There are a decent number of useful b/w photographs and a bunch of color plates. The most likely camouflage scheme on Ju 87-B trops up to 1941 was the application of desert tan over the original 70/71 splinter scheme resulting in what looks like a dark green mottle over tan. RLM 79 Sand Yellow will do, although neither it nor RLM 80 Olive Green was officially introduced until late in 1941; there is evidence of a similar Italian Sand Yellow being used before that -- it's somewhat lighter and more yellow than 79. From the photos in the book, the application of Sand Yellow differed from plane to plane, so you've got a fair amount of leeway.

Yes, the Hasegawa kits are generally the best 1/48 scale Stukas available. Other choices are old Monogram (D/G), old Airfix (B/R), and Special Hobby (A). Dave I have an old Stuka G downstairs, I think it's a Hobbycraft. I'd have to look again to be sure though. >> Speaking of this aircraft type in general, am I correct to assume that >> Hasegawa makes the best 1/48th scale kits?

Ah, I forgot about the Hobbycraft copy of the Monogram kit. Dave Ah geez, so you're telling me that, that is not even Hobbycraft's own "attempt" at this kit. Ah well, it's there it will be built. >> I have an old Stuka G downstairs, I think it's a Hobbycraft.
