rob85 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Right so I have my kit! Revells JU 88 a4 Very much thanks to nick32 who lives not to far from me....handy really. It doesn't carry torps but it does have transfer options for two areas I am very interested in, Sicily for the part it played in the attacks on Malta and Greece which I like due to roald dahls book 'going solo' and the time he spent with the RAF fighting over Greece, he recounted a number of tangles he had with JU 88 in that. The detail on this kit is brilliant! There is so much to put into the cockpit, all you would want to add in this scale are seat belt.... And if you do want to add more great, but I won't be 😀 Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The Revell 72nd scalers truly are fine kits. The 4D+(is it DT?) option can also be adapted to Eastern Front operations, as KG 30 operated on several occasions from Banak in Norway and some Gruppe also in Russia during winter 41-42, according to Herr P.W.Stahl. I do believe most planes in the summer of 41 were A-5:s, though. Happy modeling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It is indeed the 4D+DT boxing, which will probably be the one I go for over the the Greece scheme in the box... Something about it. However I am liable to the odd mind change now and again....😊 Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bull-nut Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Put me down for this one please, I'll be digging the Revell 1/72 out of the stash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hi, I just ran into this information from BA-MA files dug by Hannu Valtonen to his excellent book Luftwaffes' Northern Flank, in Finnish of course, and then translated by me:9.6.1942 Ju 88 A-4, WNr. 142081, 4D+DT, 9./KG 30; 30% damage by bomb shrapnels at Murmansk railway line. Maybe boys were doing some very low altitude bombing? Regards, V-P Edited January 25, 2016 by vppelt68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Sounds tempting, I have several Ju88's to build... thanks Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Cheers V-P, nice info and thanks for translating it! That would be very low level to get 30% of your AC taken out by a bomb, assuming that means one of the ones bring dropped by your own team/yourself....

almac Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'm in for this one too. got the Revell 1/72 and maybe I'll source some different decal option. Cheers Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just a thought but would the Mistel JU88 version be ok to include in this GB along with whatever fighter was precariously attached to the top ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Already in the chat phase more than a year ago I posted that for me it would be ok to have the Ju 88 built in this GB and a FW 190 to ride it in its own STGB, as they overlap a month iirc. Just do it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Just two months to go from today! Here´s a videoclip to whet our appetites, some pretty fine model- and dioramabuilding with good photography and video editing. Thanks Mallo781, in case you´re a Britmodeller and reading this!

Puma33helo Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi everyone, I can't see this on the thread, so my first GB is: Ju 88D-1/Trop "American Flag". Ju 88D-1/Trop (Ju 88D-3) captured colours in the desert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Wonderful choice! More colour and nations for this STGB 👍. Regards, V-P Btw you're now added to list of participants, welcome! Edited March 10, 2016 by vppelt68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalkeEins Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 just heard from John at AIMS - his lovely new sheet "Ju 88 Fighters " is ready so I think I'll join this one too please.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg in OK Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I have several different 1/72 Ju-88s (AMT, Hasegawa, Hobby Boss, etc) Any thoughts on which might be the best C model? Greg in OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Revell and Hase. Both are excellent kits. That means it's up to availability, decal options and price - the latest clearly in Revell's favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hi, can I join? Don't know what you can and can't do yet but are these OK? Pretty new here, I've had a look on other GB post's and think I know whats involved, at least it'll make me build the thing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyGair Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 They're WGr.21 rockets, normally found on on single engine types (109, 190 etc) but this particular 2./NJG2 aircraft had them fitted in pairs under each wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Looks like you´re more than ready to start - I still lack decals and masks for my build(s)! Welcome BTW! V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty new here, I've had a look on other GB post's and think I know whats involved, at least it'll make me build the thing! That is a nice kit with some nice goodies as well. I know it's the dragon kit with some different spreus from Revell, but still a nice kit. Now you have given me the doubt if I will stay and build in 1/72 or in 1/48. I have still got a few Dragon ones left. Cheers, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build a 1/48 Dragon one and see how much worse mine will turn out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
