Stew Dapple Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 There was some mention of it here - apparently a modification of their Ju88A-4 kit which local lore suggests is very nice Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Steve states, it is based on the original A-4 kit. I already two A-4 kits and, two of the C-6 reboxing. The kit is an absolute delight. It's like a mini version of the lovely 1/32 kit! IOt's a tad fiddly to build, especially the cockpit but, I don't think you will be disappointed Allan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I have to admit to shouting "yes!" out loud when I read about it, which is most out of character for this emotionally repressed Englishman. The ensuing consternation not only caused Mrs Lasermonkey to raise an eyebrow, the local gentry were talking about it for days after. I fear I shall never live it down. For those of us who are Battle Of Britain enthusiasts, the A-1 subtype has been long overdue and hearing that it is based on a well-regarded kit is reassuring. I've already been eyeing up potential decal sheets, but I suspect that more will be forthcoming. I for one think that this model deserves its own thread. Cheers, Mark. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t bothered, either by my exclamation or the announcement. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrzeM Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Good news! For me most interesting is the possibility of making long range fighter version used in Norway in 1940. Edited November 28, 2019 by GrzeM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I'm happy for you 1/72 Specialists. It is a long time coming. I guess I will stick to my plan to convert a pro modeler 1/48 A4 to an A1. I will be interested in seeing this one built. If you are happy with a 1/48 model you can convert the Special Hobby C4 version into an early C2 nightfigher which uses the A1 airframe by using Aires conversion parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cat simply opened her eyes, yawned and gave me that typically feline look of contempt as if to say " what is that pathetic human on about now!!

Wez Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) I'm very pleased to see this coming as it will fill the bill for early BoB era aircraft, I hope it will lead to an A-5 which fills the later BoB variant and served through to about 1942 in various guises in all theatres. I shall definitely get at least one A-1 and if it contains the parts on the sprues to make a C-2, I shall buy more. My pet ferret Tarquin is however, somewhat non-plussed at this news (but that's ferrets for you - too cool for school those guys)!
