Not that variant, the fuselage is completely different to the 488 V401 and the engines are Jumo 222s, not the 801TJs in the available Ju 388 kits.

Trust me, I've scratchbodged a couple of Ju 488s in my time and the V403 isn't as easy as the earlier version. Not saying it can't be done, but it's a lot more work than the V401.

Gents, the price on the website is £165, plus postage I shouldn't wonder !

I think I'll buy a couple of the old matchbox 188's and create my interpretation of the 488 and trouser the £150 change !

Cheers Pat
