Howdy Lynz,

Firstly, welcome to the forum, we are glad to have you here. seemed to have missed your introduction.
I agree with Alan, the JU-87 G is the aircraft to get, set up as the original "Tank buster", this was not so much a dive bomber as a close in, ground attack support aircraft. It had the two below wing mounted anti tank cannons and if i am not mistaken, still carried a 250 pound (maybe 500 pound but not sure) bomb centerline of the fuselage. Between the Cannons, the bomb and the wailing sirens installed on all stukas that gave them that "scream" as they dove at their targets, i am sure the real aircraft was impressive, I know for a fact the model in 1:48th scale of the G version is equally impressive.
However, I am partial to 1:48th scale myself, although a tank busting stuka in anyscale always catches my eye.

However, this is your gift to your father, being a B-day present, its a personal thing so I am not going to tell you to get the "G" version.
So, lol you are on your own as to which you actually get. If you need help finding a model, just ask and i can point you in the direction of manufacturers and even some online distributors of this kit and other versions.

Have a good day and again, welcome to the forum,

Greg aka GEEDUBBYA (GW)
