stevehnz Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Nice job on this aircraft, & as Bernd has said, you've got this colour scheme spot on. I do think that you might want to check the date for this, Unternehmen Steinbock was in 1944 afaik. I've a Ju188 from II/KG66 at the same time using AIMS decals.

Aims decals are good I've got the Italeri kit, I've never found a Hasegawa one at a price I could cope with & seeing as it'll be an E-1 with the BMW motors, the skinny Italeri Jumos are not a problem, especially as I have some aftermarket engines fans for them.

Roman Schilhart Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The most beautiful variant of the entire Ju-88 series! Very interesting conversion, where did you get the AIMS sets? I'd talked to them at ModelBrno where they annouced a G-6 conversion (based on the Revell kit). Visiting their website I did not see anything about a 'S' conversion. Since the Hasegawa kit is hideously expensive (and difficult to find) this seems to be a good alternative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi ,I emailed john at aims and asked if he still did the conversions sets (there designed for the atm kits) , he does not but still had some of the moulds . So he did some for me. You could email him and ask him.thay need some work to fit the revell kit thou, The g -6 is on his website in the gallary Edited October 11, 2017 by Niknak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheonix Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Lovely conversion and markings. The Ju 88 offers so many opportunities for conversions - a complete model collection could be made from variants of this aeroplane alone. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. Still a good choice IMHO, after Building my first Hasegawa Ju 88 i came to the conclusion that the kit is good and one of the best kits for the Ju 88/188 series but it has some flaws and is relative hard to build. The Italeri kit with some help from the aftermarket will be a worthy addition to your aircraft collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi roman, it was a fairly easy conversion, what took the most work was getting the engines to fit the wing as there were slightly smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
