Revell 1/72 Junkers Ju88A-1


Recommended Posts

Afternoon all,

 

Number 20 for the year done and dusted, the rather lovely Ju88A-1 by Revell. Been waiting a long time for a Battle of Britain variant in 1/72, but it was worth the wait, a great little kit, if a bit tricky in a couple of areas. Built completely from the box save for some Eduard Seat belts and a handful of markings from Xtradecal, and finished as ever using Hataka Orange Line Lacquers.

 

This build completes by BoB collection for now- I can't face building an Airfix Blenheim, and the wait continues for an early He111H variant that can be done from the box- so I've attached a family pic for posterity.

Very nice result! The short wings A1 is more proportional then "normal" A4. Now urgently you need He-111 for your collection :) .  I did my first He 111 last months after 50 years of doing models...

Twenty for the year?  Holy moly.  If it were quantity over quality then that would be understandable, but their all great models.  The '88 follows on with that excellent build quality.

That is one fine looking model, a nice clean build but with lovely, subtle paint effects.  Perfect.

 

Superb collection as well from such an iconic period in aviation.

 

Well done mate.

Thank you all for such nice feedback, I'm very humbled!

Glad the collection has been so well received too, there's still a few gaps to fill, but that's for another time.

Thanks again,

Shaun :)

Hi Shaun,

 

like all these good people have said before me, both the Ju 88 and your BoB collection are awesome!

 

Congrats!
