Zigomar Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The Ju 88 was really the workhorse of the Luftwaffe. In the role of night-fighter he was very efficient and became the mount of many aces. The model was done some time ago and I did spend a lot of time on the wings where not a single panel line is correct and where not a single hatch is of the correct shape and in the right position! The camo is of the reverse mottling type with large blotches and shows the plane on Major Paul Zorner Gruppenkommandeur of II/NJG 100, late 44. 9A90DCFB-AE48-4D5A-A6EC-A6591B7BB201 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 9BB65CE0-07BF-471E-A901-DDCDF3AFD300 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 2C1B39DF-8EE5-4258-BF1C-7C6921D5BF3C by jean Barby, sur Flickr 4A532878-617C-45E2-AF73-37305A221163 by jean Barby, sur Flickr BDDBA879-0E07-43AF-A5F9-F69BA083C928 by jean Barby, sur Flickr E1CE1547-22F6-4D69-A691-5A5FACFC3B97 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 656E3AAC-69C9-416E-AE63-446BE7DBAD2B by jean Barby, sur Flickr 360C1421-E795-4930-BA2E-FE21645836C6 by jean Barby, sur Flickr C8FA4DF3-61D5-4613-9697-5CEB608016ED by jean Barby, sur Flickr 90DDF954-E798-4AFC-8E47-1BFE12A42E98 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 7DD7C2D8-3E0E-48E6-A17B-B3C505BAE3F5 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 06B143D9-DC78-405B-8CC1-15DF90114563 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 68 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato Pete Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Very nice What are the antennas like to fit - I assume you solder them together and then superglue them to the frame? Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Great model and the JU-88 night-fighters always look so sinister. I built the ICM 1/48 Ju-88 C6b last year and loved every minute of it and it is a much better kit than the now ancient DML one. Get one and you will enjoy it and like you, I used the 'Master' metal antenna set on mine and they elevate the model to another level as yours have. Love the camo and the figures which add a nice sense of scale. Lovely model ! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
