Sturmovik Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Hello guys, here's my next project, ICM's Ju 88C-6b. I hope it fits well. I'll be painting it as Heinrich Prizn zu Sayn Wittgenstein's machine. Edited April 1, 2020 by Sturmovik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 After a full day of work, here's where I am now, a fully buily airframe. The kit has some nasty issues though: Reversed cowlings and wheel covers. Reversed flame dampers. Engine bulkheads are too wide and need to be sanded down if you want the cowlings to fit. The wings take a lot of work to put in place. The cockpit is the best area of the kit, everything there fits perfectly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike romeo Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Nice. Got that kit myself. Does your kit have the single m/g position on the rear of the cockpit glazing, or a double? Regards Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Well, this build has hit a wall. The ICM decals are complete trash, they stick like hell to the surface, without the possibility of being able to move them after placing them. I've lost the two fuselage crosses plus the C9 code, so I won't be building this aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike romeo Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 That's a shame. No chance of sourcing another set? Regards Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Martin No, but I have two decal sheets for a Bf 110G-4. I'll paint my Ju 88 entirely black, with markings for Werner Streib's aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I won't let this model beat me. I used Bf 110G decals in 1:48 and came up with this, a Ju 88C-6b flown by Walter Ehle. Not accurate, but it looks good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard502 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) what colors are you using that allow you to paint & decal the kit within 3 hours? (i.e. between messages 7 + 8 ) Richard Edited April 1, 2020 by Richard502 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
