ICM Ju-88C-6 Nightfighter Interior Seating

[k7rkx]

Hi All,

 

So I'm currently building the above kit alongside ICMs Ju-88A-4 and I've noticed that the A-4 tells you to build up a seat (D11, D15 & D28) and attach it to the right fuselage, alongside the pilot seat - so far, so good.

 

However, the C-6 omits this seat entirely, and I'm not sure if this is correct as I always thought (dangerous, I know) that the nightfighter had a 3 man crew.

 

Now I know the ICM cockpit is inaccurate, but I couldn't find any clear pictures to indicate that there should be a seat there on the C-6.

 

Any thoughts?

Cheers

My Dragon Ju 88C-6b had three seats.  I can't completely vouch for its accuracy; but that seems like a strange thing to get wrong under so much glass.

Seems to be a few years too early... Should be in WWII area. Has been requested to be moved.

If I'm not mistaken, the A's had four-men crews (pilot, nav/bombardier, engineer, wireless op); Zerstörer and Nachtjäger would not necessarily have needed a bombardier.

My eysight clearly isn't what it was!!! Serves me right for posting too early in the morning

Hallo

Basically the ICM kit seat position of the left  fuselage side is wrong. Vertically. All other issues I can not answer. You may check my threads of the Ju-88 A-4 and 5 from ICM.

Happy modelling

We have a resident JU-88 specialist,  I have some of his aftermarket stuff. (Specifically the C-6 stuff)

I forgot his name,  but one of the other members might remember and tag him?

Brilliant - thanks for that.

 

Looks like it was a fold down bicycle seat. Time for some scratch building.

Hallo

At page 13 and 18 you may see the correct seat position on the left fuselage side.

You also may know, that the cockpit framing, many of the frames are inside only!

And also, that all Ju-88 had curtains due to prevent sun!

Happy modelling
