JU-87 w/ shark mouth

[oakranger]

Surprise that that a skin was not made yet.  Has anyone looked into it yet?

[lyric1]

This one?



I would say not enough info on this plane as well as it is an aircraft in AHII that is bound to be updated so not much interest would be my guess.

Yeah, but what year will will that be?

Sweet skin!

Can any one identify the squadron logo on the noses of the other planes? That may be helpful.

Larger pic, more grainy but a bit clearer.




EDIT: P.S. Look at those exhausts, has to be VERY early B models, but after the giant spats were removed?

EDIT2:

Wings pallete seems to think they belong to STG 77.

Pilot: Major Alfons Orthofer. Standard camouflage: upper surfaces RLM 70 and 71, lower surfaces RLM 65. A impressive shark's mouth was briefly painted on this machine on the occasion of a report for 'Signal' magazine, no doubt to make it even more threatening. A photograph of the same machine taken a few months later shows it without the shark's teeth, but wearing the unit's insignia under the windshield.
