The Ju 87 C was a version of the famous dive bomber Stuka proposal to operate with German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin. The link below provides more information and pictures of this unusual version of the Ju 87 Stuka:

I've seen those and have been wondering if there's a kit to support that aircraft.

I've seen those and have been wondering if there's a kit to support that aircraft.

As far as I know, the only kit of the C is a 48th kit by Hasegawa, but I don't think its around at the moment.

A 72nd one has been my Holy Grail of kits for years, there are not even any conversions.

Must be possible to build one. The C was based on the B I think with just the addition of the folding wing option (maybe some extra bracing inside the landing gear and wings).

So if you take the B as the basis you'd need the folding wing internals from something like the F6F Hellcat to give the hinges that will fold the right way. Now I'm not saying its an easy build and there will be a bit of scratch building but I'm sure someone better than me on here could do it and have a great one off model

Phil, ye, that's what I am considering. I have not yet looked into it in detail, but I think I will soon. But you know what will happen. I will build one and bang, someone will release one.

Of course, if you didn't have the wings folded, it would be a lot easier to do.
