Tail-Dragon Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Has anyone used Aims AIMSP48001 - Junkers Ju-88A-5 update set for the ICM JU-88 A-5 yet? It looks good but the photo's are so poor I can't see any of the detail. I'm specifically interested if the eng. radiator faces have enough detail (i.e. the concentric rings of the radiator itself) http://www.aimsmodels.co.uk/Resin/1-48-Resin/1-48-resin/1-48-resin_3.html Thanks in advance, tail-dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) I can’t find any better pictures, but from what I can tell, the aims set just has the scoops on the radiator face that seems different from the kit parts. Would the Eduard external set be any good instead (it’s what I’m looking to buy for my Ju 88 - https://www.eduard.com/eduard/photo-etched-parts/photo-etched-set/aircraft/1-48/ju-88a-5-exterior-1-48.html?lang=1 Edit: Here’s Jose Pires’ build using the Eduard sets - http://josepiresmodelismo.blogspot.com/2018/02/148-junkers-ju-88-5.html?m=1 Edited July 22, 2019 by SimonT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it doesn't address the cockpit floor, it does include better spinners and correct exhaust https://www.neomega-resin.com/junkers-ju-88a-5-radiatorspinner-set-icm-932-p.asp# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
