Junkers Ju-86 Italeri

Cool project, Ron. Those early Italeri kits were the bee's knees when I was a kid. Better than the Airfix, Matchbox and Revell fare that I was used to, and before I'd ever seen a Hasegawa kit. They also did great subject matter. I never built this one, but I'd like to. Will be good to see yours come together.

Thanks,  I just hope the 18+ year old decals hold up.  That is the only downfall with old Italeri kits,  their decals really sucked. They always silvered and don't react to any type of sol.  I plan on applying them with future, I hope it works.

Lovely subject, especially in Lufthansa markings.

 

The Ju-86 is associated with special memories for me. It was featured (with drawings :frantic:) in the first issue of Scale Models I ever bought, back in the mid-seventies. This is when I got hooked with English-speaking modelling magazines, thus discovering a whole-new world.

I managed to lay down some paint yesterday. The canopy fit is horrible.  I've filled it three times and it still looks bad.  Oh well.  

 

I've also experimented with the old decals and they hold up just fine and react very well to mirco sol which really surprises.  I now have to paint the engine nacelles semi gloss black and then off to the decal department....
