alaninaustria Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Part 3... who would have thought that we would see this beast in 32nd scale?? It seemed just like a dream so many years ago!! I can't wait for this big ***** to hit my bench!! Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 OMG Alan! thanks for posting those shots! I am loving it already! I spent this year dreaming it could already be octobre just so I could get this kit in hand. Now it is just a matter of weeks: I am so happy and so impatient at the same time. Can not wait, can not wait, can not wait..... The pics do not show much of the pit, wheel wells and engines but looking at those, what I can see does look good and the details seams to be OK/acceptable at least. Indeed, I think even if it was "all wrong", that would not significantly reduce my joy. I am not quite sure wether I will build one almost immediatly or if I will put it (well actually certainly 3 or 4...) into the stach and stare at it (them) in pure joy repeting to myself "look at what's in my stach!"... I may need a doc I guess! Dave, one suggestion for the next GB topic: Revell Ju88! Cheers, loic aka "the happiest modeler" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotary Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 thanks for making my day alan----and my long term dream of having a truly representative B.O.B. collection in 32nd. comes tantalizingly nearer-----now can someone come out with a D.o. 17----H.E.111---- defiant----blenheim !!!!!!!! i for one won't say any of these are impossible, or even, dare i say it, unlikely! by the way, looks like separate flaps and ailerons at least!!! looks bloody good enough to eat. cheers dave.

LSP_Mike Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 WOW! that sure looks like a Ju-88. Even if it has no engines, and a basic interior, it is good. I wanna do a nightfighter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro32 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 The wingtips are off in shape, and the spinner's profile is .00032 arc-sec. off in curvature. I'll pass. Looks like Revell have a stunner on their hands! I might be looking at a builder's block cure here! Hmm.... the photos suggest that the style of detail could be Hasegawa........ does anyone know yet who did the tooling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I wanted to do jets only in my new modellers life, but I got to do one if these!!!! Group build would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAGNEW Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 All i can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesMetz Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Someone must play the role of Devil's disciple, so I'll say out loud that I hope Revell will improve the fit of those canopy parts. Brethren: Let us pray ... Thrilled in any case, Charles Metz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Looks fantastic! So many possibilities there. I'm not a bomber guy but this one is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingman777 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Man, this is exciting! I saw the post and first thought...(he must mean Ju-87) but here it is, a Ju-88 in 1/32!!! I kept hearing it would happen but figured it was idle talk. The images look very impressive. First the Me-110 and now this!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Looks excellent from what we can see. Not overly worried about the cockpit being less than Dragon detail level - we can make our own or wait for Eduard and Aires to start churning out AM for this - its going to be a photo etch and resin feeding frenzy (if you're into these things!). The aircraft as depicted appears to be an A-1/A-2 - the ailerons got all the way to shorter wingtips than the A-4 onwards featured, also should have a rudder with straight hinge line. Hopefully we'll get optional wingtip parts, a two gun bulged rear canopy (fus directly behind canopy looks like seperate part - so 2 gun version planned) and a choice of rudder to allow A-4 a/c to be modelled - otherwise this first release (I'm sure the start of a Dragon like dynasty of 88s) will be quite limited in what one can make. Having said that I have no reservations - you just cannot complain - up until a few weeks ago I'd happily have paid the same price for a Combat Ju 88!!! We live in a golden age for 1/32 a/c...

ssculptor Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Well, I'm a bomber guy, and all I can say after due consideration is, Happy Happy Joy Joy!!! I mean, when you consider the variations that are possible for this WW2 workhorse....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAGNEW Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I hope it sells good, maybe then we would see a 1/32 B-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
