Details:

Bring one of the most versatile German aircraft of World War II to your collection with the Italeri Junkers Ju 88 A-17 Torpedo Bomber (1489). This twin-engine Luftwaffe aircraft was part of the highly successful Ju 88 family, originally designed as a fast bomber but adapted into one of the most flexible combat platforms of the war. The A-17 variant was specifically modified for maritime strike missions, equipped to carry torpedoes for anti-shipping operations against Allied naval targets.

The Ju 88 A-17 featured structural modifications for torpedo carriage, including underwing mounting points and the removal of the ventral gondola, optimising it for low-level attack runs over water. As part of the broader Ju 88 series, it benefited from strong performance, solid construction, and adaptability across multiple roles including bombing, reconnaissance, and night operations.

This detailed plastic model kit captures the distinctive torpedo bomber configuration, with accurate fuselage shaping, fine surface detailing, and historically accurate proportions. Designed for experienced modellers, it offers a rewarding build with multiple decal options representing operational Luftwaffe aircraft.
