Hi,
Next piece from my shelf. I made it in 2002. This is Ju 86 R1, machine 4U+PK, belonging to 2 Staffel, Aufklarung Gruppe 123, based in Castelli, Crete, 1942.
This is scratch conversion from Italeri Ju 86 (in particular it was Ju-86 D kit, but it does not matter if it was not Ju 86Z or other, since all engines as well as outer parts of wings and cabin are home made). In this time there was a Czech conversion set (resin) to Ju 86 P (as far as I remeber) or even longest wing-span R, but it was pretty expencive, so I quit with it and decided to do out of scratch. For more fun Now there is a nice injection kti of this machine by RS (?)...
Two last photos I made in 2002 and other are from today. In recent ones some yellowish shadow appeared on canopies - they were painted (after polishing) with Humbrol gloss varnish ,12 years ago. Old pictures do not show this problem... However now I am using water diluted acryl gloss varnish (Pactra) to finish canopies. We will see, how they will stand with years. Model was brush painted with Humbrol. I hope you wil enjoy it...
Regards
Jerzy-Wojtek
