Zarichta Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Hello guys; This is my second model of this year: Junkers Ju 88A-4 (B3+MH), Dübendorf, Switzerland, 1943. You can check this aircraft: https://warbird.ch/wb-events/die-ju-88-mit-dem-schweizerkreuz/ This is a Hasegawa 1/72 mold. This old mold has a lot of fitting problems. Wing tip, fuselage closure, etc and etc. 😫 I used Mr Hobby Aqueous paints, photo etched interior by Eduard. The blue paint was Vallejo RLM 24 mixing black. Cheers!

Doc72 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I still have issues with that blue colour scheme, but you built an excellent model. Especially the airbrushed squiggles are great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the blue paint applied, I did soft lines with a silver pencil. With my Iwata HP series airbrush, I painted this lines very carefully, passing two or three times and covering totally. It was not easy, but with calm and patience, it worked. Cheers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Judging from the photos of the real thing in your link, it's all the more pity that I can only see a lot of grey rectangles with 'spacer.png'. Photos posted on Google, perhaps? Many years ago, I had the privilege of visiting Porto Alegre while shooting a documentary about the indomitable José Lutzenberger. Nice town, at least at that time! Kind regards, Joachim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

occa Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 This is a superb model and extra points from me that you dared paint it in this highly questioned scheme which (for me) from the contemporary descriptions must be correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Superb piece of modelling and the finish is… dramatic! A real eye opener. Very impressed by your detail work, too. Those MG:s sticking out around the canopy really look the business. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Excellent build of your 88 ! ... Ive seen and read a bit on the blue scheme. I will keep my opinions away as I don't want to open a , and that to become the focus instead of your build. However I do like the work you’ve done here.
