==Surviving aircraft==
Two intact Ju 87s survive, with a third being restored:

;Ju 87 G-2, Werk Nr. ''494083''

It is thought to have been built in 1943–1944 as a D-5 before being rebuilt as a G-2 variant, possibly by fitting G-2 outer wings to a D-5 airframe. The wings have the hard-points for ''Bordkanone BK 3,7'' gun-pods, but these are not fitted. It was one of 12 captured German aircraft selected by the British for museum preservation and assigned to the [[Air Historical Branch]]. The aircraft was stored and displayed at various RAF sites until 1978, when it was moved to the RAF Museum. In 1967, permission was given to use the aircraft in the film [[Battle of Britain (film)|''Battle of Britain'']] and it was repainted and modified to resemble a 1940 variant of the Ju 87. The engine was found to be in excellent condition and there was little difficulty in starting it, but returning the aircraft to airworthiness was considered too costly for the filmmakers and, ultimately, models were used in the film to represent Stukas. In 1998, the film modifications were removed, and the aircraft returned to the original G-2 configuration.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|pp=382–383}}</ref>

;Ju 87 R-2/Trop. Werk Nr. ''5954''

It was abandoned in North Africa and found by British forces in 1941. The Ju 87 was donated by the British government and sent to the US during the war. It was fully restored in 1974 by the [[Experimental Aircraft Association|EAA]] of Wisconsin.<ref>{{harvnb|Vanags-Baginskis|1982|p=51}}</ref>

One Ju 87 is under restoration:

;Ju 87 R-4, Werk Nr. ''6234'' (incorporating ''857509'')
One aircraft is being restored to airworthy condition from two wrecks, owned by [[Paul Allen]]'s [[Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum]].<ref name="flyingheritage.org">{{cite web|url=https://flyingheritage.org/ |title=FHCAM – Home |publisher=Flyingheritage.org |access-date=2018-09-20}}</ref> The project takes its identification from Ju 87 R-4 Werk Nr. ''6234'', which was built in 1941 and served with Stukageschwader 5. Shot down in April 1942 on a mission to bomb Murmansk,<ref>[https://flyingheritage.org/Explore/The-Collection/Germany/Junkers-Ju-87-R-4-Stuka.aspx  Flying Heritage Stuka Project]</ref> it was recovered in 1992. The wreck was purchased by New Zealand collector [[Tim Wallis]], who originally planned for a rebuild to airworthy status, and later went to the [[Deutsches Technikmuseum]] in Berlin. Parts from a second airframe, a Ju 87 R-2 ''Werknummer'' 857509 which served bearing the ''Stammkennzeichen'' of code LI+KU from 1./St.G.5, and was recovered to the United Kingdom in 1998,<ref name="Smith 2011, p. 387">{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=387}}</ref> have also been incorporated. The project was displayed in November 2018 and the restoration was stated to take between 18 months and two years to complete. Work will be conducted in a display hangar to allow the public to observe the work underway.

Other aircraft survive as wreckage at or recovered from crash sites:
* A ‘Stuka’ wreck was discovered in 2014 near the island of Žirje in Croatia. It belonged to JU 87R-2 group from 239 squad of the Italian Royal Air Force. On April 12, 1941, during the Balkans Campaign in World War II, it was attacking the Kingdom of Yugoslavia's torpedo boats together with two more Stukas when it was shot down. Today the wreck is a visiting site for many scuba divers, lying at a depth of 28 meters.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Croatia: Stuka Bomber Wreck {{!}} X-Ray Mag |url=https://xray-mag.com/content/croatia-stuka-bomber-wreck |access-date=2023-09-04 |website=xray-mag.com |date=18 July 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

=== Replicas ===
Replicas at 7/10 scale were built by [[Louis Langhurst]] and Richard H. Kurzenberger. Langhurst's aircraft ended up with the  Commemorative Air Force. Kurzenburger's  was written off in a crash that killed the pilot in 2000.{{cn|date=March 2024}}
