Howdy Dave,

Its me again. About that 1/24th scale airfix Stuka......ya still want one? Ok, well I have found you one online at a company in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. So, there is the cost of shipping overseas involved, but thats all up to you as to whether you even purchase the model.
However, you do realize that a 1:24th scale model is not anywhere close in price to say a 1:48th scale model. Again, thats your business lol.
So, here ya go, you can find the 1:24th scale Airfix Stuka at this link:

1/24 Junkers Ju87B-2 Stuka

Description
Construct the German Ju87B2 Stuka Aircraft With This 1/24 Scale Plastic Assembly Kit from Airfix. For Modelers Age 8 and Older.
Facts
During the early phases of WWII, the German Ju87 Stuka was one of the most feared aerial weapons and it played a large role in the German Army's blitzkreig through Poland and western Europe. The Ju87B models were particularly active during the early phases of the Battle of Britain but the Luftwaffe quickly found that the Stuka was highly vulnerable in the face of determined fighter opposition. Subsequently, the Ju87 would only be seen when and where Germany had undisputed control of the skies.

I hope this helps you in your quest, I think I may have built this kit many, many, many yrs ago, the description sound so familiar to me and I do remember owning a Stuka with rubber wheels that was about the same size as one of the old "COX" gas powered, line controled airplanes.

I did find other listings for this model however and the costs were $139.50 and $102.00 .

However, I did also find it at tower hobbys ( http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LX2286&P=K ) for $74.99 (one dollar less than the site above) but this company is also in the USA so shipping charges would apply again.

Anyway, I hope this helps, atleast you know the model does exsist out there.

Have a good day,

Greg
