Some googling tells me this is the old Esci mold, old but by no means bad, Modellingmadness rate it second to the Fujimi one, try finding one of them for less than extortionate prices now, I think I can see one of these and a hawk in my future.

Steve. I can see me getting one as well when I get round to a corsair over the HB one (which I didn't know was inferior) I like the green tailed option 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Great to see the old but nice Junkers 86 back! Lovely decal sheet too! I'll be buying one or two! Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occa Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 A lot of funny typos on the profiles for the Yunkers Yu 86, Jellow for yellow ... and Luftstreikrafte instead of Luftstreitkräfte ... And it should read Wien not Vien Nevertheless I will buy one for the interesting decal options alone 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Think I'll have to get one or two of these, not many companies are doing seven markings options in one kit anymore. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 ....Forgot to add, lovely box art on both the Ju-86 and Mitchell, with the Mitchell being particularly striking. Very nice! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 B-25 Nice timing for the B-17 STGB. That lower turret will help with -E's a great deal. The nacelle fronts look a little off though, hopefully the opening can be enlarged without too much trouble... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if the Ju 86 had the same underfuselage gun turret as the Ju 52 bomber variants? Cheers, Andre 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ju86's retracted vertically, up into the belly of the aircraft, while on the Ju52, the part that contained the gunner just swung up to the rear when not occupied.

Chris Chris, I actually have the airliner kit and was thinking of doing the same thing. Now I won't have to. The one thing I'm wondering about is I believe the SAAF Ju-86 had Lewis guns, not MG17s, or whatever the standard German fit was. However, I believe I can scrounge up at least three Lewis guns from my parts boxes. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
