This very distinctive livery of the Schlange Sturzkampfflugzeug - Snake Stuka represents the Ju 87 deployed to North Africa and the Mediterranean from 1941. This aircraft was deployed to the T6+DP unit stationed at Tmimi on the Libyan coast where it provided ground support as well as attacking Allied shipping. Unexpectedly deployed to that desert landscape, , it was originally decorated in a hastily applied desert camouflage scheme over the darker European scheme, resulting in a sandy beige and mid/dark green finish with blue underside, complete with T6 and DP lettering in black and yellow on the underwings. A small detail to note is the addition of the letter J under the port wing which represents the manufacturer's code. The snake decoration runs the length of the aircraft with its open jaws and fangs finishing just behind the nose cone. Doubtless it would have proved a daunting sight, highly visible in white and an ochre yellow. On the model front, it adds a very unique dimension to your Oxford WWII enemy airfield.
