thevid Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Here is the original Ju88 built mostly out of the box with vac-form clear parts and replacement wheels. I used Model Master paints. Decals from the decal binder. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeddahbill Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Very nice! A real inspiration to extract my old kit from the dark depths of long term storage and make the attempt. Which vac-form canopy set did you use? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hey Bill, I used the original clear parts as the masters and used my Mattel Vac-U-Form machine to make copies. I don't think any aftermarket versions would work. Thank you.
