Cheezburger Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Finally the pictures of the finished Ju 288 from the WIP thread that I started. It was a quick build altogether. I am relatively happy with the finish. The HUMA decals from the kit were pretty good with no silvering problems. I used different crosses for the upper wings though as the HUMA ones were just as big as the underwing ones (which looked wrong in my opinion). So I used the white only version (from a Revell kit) which matches the crosses on the fuselage. Check it out. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Really incredible! Makes me want to own one. Was the canopy vac-formed or injected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clear parts are from the box. Pretty good quality. It's a cool looking plane, right? Has the allure of a Luft '46 model - one that actually existed though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I know the canopy is plastic I shall add this to my mental list of models I want need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Very neat build and painting! I have some reservations about the weathering, though. The machine is a Versuchsmuster and yet it looks as if it had been abandoned in a desert after hard front service. ;-). To my eyes you went overboard a bit with the 'toning' of the camouflage and those random silver splashes on the prop blades. All IMHO, of course. Really good build, though! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Joachim Thanks. Yu are right, the prop blades are not as I wanted them to look like. The toning of the camo may seem a bit overemphasised by the flash though. The contrast is not as harsh in natural light. I still don't have a light tent booth to take picrures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Great stuff. One of those types I first came across in a W. Green book in my school library's storeroom in about 1970. Cheers GrahamB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Great build of this late war plane. For me the paint job looks great. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
