Fuad Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hi, everyone! I present you my next model. This is typical "shortrun" model, not easy to assembly. 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 A very unusual aircraft type - and a model you don't see built very often! I did not know the Ju-86R's operated in the MTO. Beautiful build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Great model Fuad! I enjoy your choice of unusual subjects. How do you stay informed about the specifics of such airplanes (detail, colour etc.) - there are not many books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 That is awesome! I love the aircraft, I love the scheme. How does it compare to other aircraft in size? Similar to a Lanc? Is there a WIP thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Step Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Looks really great - excellent finish. Wish to have it in 1/48 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Really interesting subject. I didn't expect to see it in desert colors. This was the high altertude plane wasn't it used for long range recon. If my memory serves me right it was the reason behind the development of higher altitude fighters.

Mattlow Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Lovely. Not seen this kit built before. Did an Italeri Ju86 with radials years ago that went together well. What were the 'challenges' of this kit? Wasn't it one of these that 'bothered' Malta until they could get a fighter up to see it off (maybe even shoot it down)?

72modeler Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Another beautiful build and finish, Fuad! I have this one in my inventory, but there's no use taking it out of the box, now; I don't think I could even come close to what you have done with this kit. Does it go together pretty well- any major issues to deal with? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spitfire was a specially modified and lightened Spitfire Vb flown by Prince Emanuel Galitzine, who managed to put a round into the leading edge of the Ju-86. See the link to his story- a very interesting flier!

Graham Boak Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Galatzine had an early Spitfire Mk.IX, and it was a P but over the UK. It was the MU at Alexandria that lightened a couple of Spitfire Mk.Vs and claimed an R - although apparently the Germans didn't notice being attacked and the following engine failure leading to a ditching in the Mediterranean had nothing to do with it... Both variants were diesel engined. Alexandria were sent a couple of pressurised Mk.VIs but they were considered too heavy to chase Junkers and were used for some high-altitude PR: now that'd be a different Spitfire variant to model if any photos appeared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected- the old Mk 1a memory banks ain't what they used to be! Wish I had your encyclopedic recall, Graham! (At least I spelled everything correctly!)

kapam Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Wow! Another beautiful presentation of an unfamiliar aircraft (to me at least). I reckon there are museums that would be well privileged to have your work on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob C. Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Very nice job on a very interesting aircraft. Hmmm … I wonder if that is still available? Bob C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it compare to other aircraft in size? Similar to a Lanc? Is there a WIP thread? The fuselage of this aircraft is not so big. But the wing is very sweeping. Because it is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Unfortunately, I don't make any photoreport from building of models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuad Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 I will try to answer all the questions in one post. The manufacturer of the model is the Czech company RS Models. It is relatively fresh and is still on free sale. The model is made by the classic technology of "short run". This means that large parts of the model do not fit perfectly. Small parts require careful processing. The model has photo-etched parts that take a lot of time for their application. The model assembly scheme is not entirely obvious - as a result, I made one significant error - all deflected wing surfaces should be at a distance from it, and not right next to mine. I also forgot to unstick the adhesive tape on the three windows of the photo equipment below. By the way, which must be done by himself. And it is also desirable to make the cameras themselves. The glazing of the cabin is completely opaque and disgustingly distorts visibility. In short - I did not get any pleasure from the assembly of this model. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are not many built models of this outstanding aircraft on the network. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
