"But for Nesonov it is the realization of a dream -- he has built a Junkers plane out of bits of scrap scavenged in Russia's Far North, and after several unsuccessful attempts he can fly a model of the dive-bomber that inflicted so much damage during the war."

"Painted with green and yellow camouflage, black crosses on both sides and swastikas on the tail, the plane is slightly smaller than a real Junkers but is equipped with guns and bombs."

I believe that there are other Stuka 'replicas' flying.  A local fellow died in one a few years ago.
