Does any one know if their is a kit for the Junkers JU87R available anywhere.
Preferably 1/32 scale but will settle for 1/48 scale.
if I remember rightly, an R is a B model with long range tanks, so that should help your search. Have a look on Hannants site on the net, if they haven’t got it, no one will.

Monogram Promodeler released a re-box of the 1/48 Hasegawa kit as a JU87R-2. It should still be generally available.
Pete’s right, the R was just a B which had it’s wing racks plumbed to accept a drop tank for range extension. I believe that the tank was actually mounted between the two racks on each wing and most likely the only visible differences would be two tubes hanging down a couple of inches under the wing to attach to the tank - one would be the fuel line to the fuel selector and the other would be for pressurization of the tank.
I’ve seen pictures of Rs with the tanks installed but have never seen a close up picture of the tank installation. In 1/32 you’re pretty well stuck with the old Revell Ju 87B.
