woody37 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 This is lovely, for me the nicest of the 88 family. Probably influenced by it being the first model I ever built as a wee kid thanks to matchbox. Very neat paintwork around the canopy and love the scheme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadMax8 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 The tissue paper used for the gun ports looks amazing, as do the photo etched gunsights. It really ratchets up the realism! How is the tissue attached, and how was it painted to avoid saturating the tissue with paint? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tissue was brush painted on both sides, after it became stiff my dad attached it with Micro Klear onto the canopy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Reini How did your dad setup the wings? The fit is looking very sloppy and hard to get correct. I'm well into my Ju 188A1 at the moment so will be adding the wings most likely over the weekend. I was just wondering if he used a jig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joint was more or less tight and in the correct angle, no sanding or much filling was necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
