Popular Post Alan Gelo Posted March 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hello, this is a model from three years back, took part at the 35th IPMS Greece Nationals and won a Silver in Masters Category. I have used Eduard's BIG ED and resin wheels, Aires's beautiful resin Junkers Jumo 213 engine, Quickboost's resin propellers & resin MG151 barrels and Master's excellent turned brass antennas. Other than that, I have scratch built some detail inside the main and tail wheel wells, cut open the cockpit windows, opened the access hatch, cut open the ejector chutes for the underside MG151s and opened and scratch built the port side engine access panels. Colours are all Gunze according to their RLM range. Hope you like it, comments are most welcome! Alex. 90 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Beautifully done - particularly considering the scale! Super finishing and weathering and delightful details. Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PZL104 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Now that's an extremely nice Ju88. How on earth did it happen that it didn't win Gold? What color did you use for the oleo strut? They really look like chrome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Superb modelling – makes you wonder what the gold medal winner could possibly have to trump this masterpiece… A feast for the eye of a night fighter enthusiast!

The oleo struts are covered with a thin strip of Bare Metal Foil, carefully stuck and nicely buffed! Always does the trick! Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always does the trick! Thanx for the info. IMO metal foil is (apparently) the way to achieve a perfect finish! That said, the earth on the tires looks super realistic as well!👍 Edited March 14, 2019 by PZL104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Outstanding model! Weathering, staining, and mottling are very subdued and realistic... if you hadn't stated the scale, I would have thought it was 1/48! Well done! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
