#30/2018 Here´s my dad´s newest completion. Dragon kit with AIMS decals, sadly they don´t include the correct (without black outline) Balkenkreuz for the fuselage and upper wings, took them from an Owl Decals sheet. Gunze RLM70/71 for the splinter camo, MRP RLM76 (in my dad´s opinion too dark and blue-ish) as RLM65 on the underside and a brightened version of MRP RLM76 for the field applied camo on the upperside. Added brake lines with plastic rods and lead wire, antenna with EZ Line. My dad used bluetac/Uhu patafix for masking the field camo. The edges got too sharp so he oversprayed them freehand but you can still see the sharp edges look through and it caused some spatter. When you don´t really go close up you won´t see it, so, in the vitrine the model looks still good. To oppose the multi-engined allied submarine hunters over the Bay of Biscay between the northcoast of Spain and France, KG40 built up a Gruppe equipped with different types of Ju88C Destroyers. Most aircraft received a field applied additional camo and each looked different. The model shows the aircraft of Oberleutnant Kurt Necesany, 14./KG40, 1942-43 Bordeaux/France. He was KIA on 14th Feb 1944 at the age of 23. While attacking a USN PB4Y-1 his aircraft was damaged by defensive fire. Necesany and his crew didn´t make it back. Despite search attempts, no trace was found of them.
