Hi Thomas, Thanks for the remark on the window! I will have a look at it As for Revell I wrote 3 customer claims till they answered me. Than they needed longer as it was vacation time and than it took about 3 weeks till I got the parts. So almost two months till I got them.. Maybe just bad luck, but still... For the decals it's maybe I'am still new to modeling a just need to get some skill in it. Thanks for the tip with MicroScale, will try it for sure! Well for more pictures you'll need to wait a bit I guess as my cam got damaged during vacation. Cheers, Miko

Hello Guttorm, Thanks for stopping by! Yes you're right there is never enought 88's and please don't tell me about the He 111. I want that one too, but you need an hangar for it, so it's at very end of my BoB collection list. How's your progress so far? Well I did not post for a longer time, as I had some issues with Revell sending me the badly molded clear parts and than I thought, that there is not much interest in this topic. Besicaly the kit is 95% done, but yesterday I faced an issue with AirDoc decals coming apart just in my hands. So I decided to do my own decal for the tail's 9K+AB. Than I need to finish the exhouts, do some steams, some nice metal attrition, dusting on the weels and it's done As I told before already, it's not the best one here, but as for my second kit I'am happy with it and I <3 IT Here one just for you Cheers, Miko

Thanks for the info Dave. Don't you have an idea about the other topics too please?

Hello LPS guys, As I'am still waiting for revell to solve my claim about badly molded parts for my JU 88 A-1 I decided to gather some info for my next project. It's gonna be the Cyber Hobby Gallands Bf 109 E-4 W Nr. 5819. I'am brosing forums for a quite long time, but still got a few questions. 1: You think he was using the leather seat upholstery? 2: Somebody maybe got a pic or info about the numbering on the engine of this bird? 3: I found info that the spinner cap, engine upgrade, new camo was done sometime between 28th Nov and 58th victory on 5th Dec, can you please confirm it? That means the decals with 50 victories included in the kit is somwhere 30.10.1940 and so the spinner should be open and no extra cooler should be used? 4: A finally the often asked one.. Would you go 02 or 66 for the cockpit? I'am a fan of the 02 but maybe somebody can prove the 66? Thanks for watching and for any info you can provide Cheers, Miko

Thumbs up Nick!

Thanks Javlin There's still a lot to improve, but for the 1st try I'am quite happy about the result and most of all it's fun to find out how all the techniques you guys are presenting here are working.

So here's what I've done last week or two: Why you guys did not worn me, that I'll need this to paint this bird? So now I just can finsh the preshadowing and hope that revell will finally do something about my claim about bad molded cler parts, else I can't continue here On the second hand 109 E-4 from Dragon and revells Bf 110 are waiting to join my BoB collection, so let's see Laters guys

Now you realy made me think about where the limits of scale modeling are Geoff Perfect job and looking forward for updates ! Have fun (I bet you will) Miko

One general question guys. Were all the JU 88 A-1 equiped with the dive brakes? On the picture below the 9K+AB is missing it. This is actualy a bird of the I./KG 51 Guppenkommandeur Kurt von Greiff he flew during the closing stages of the daylight BoB. I decided to make after almost a weak of research. I just like the 51sk KG Miko

I'll not repeat the superlatives about what you've done Guttorm, but have a big THANKS for inspiration and tons of detailed info on this beaty Btw. HEREmy work in progress, if you wanna have a look. Miko

Yeye, I see where you're pointing Nick. It's always nice to build a bird with background info. Well I saw the pic on Wiki, but it's not the one I'am looking for. But thx for taking a look

Thanks guys @ Nmayhew: I've been looking for some info about it the whole day now, but with no results As far as I have checked the BoB losses of the 51st KG it was not included, so it might have survive. Wondering, if in THIS book might be some info about it. Anybody out there, who's got that book plese?

Soo, after a half day research @ work I decided to do it 9K+AL of the 3./KG 51 "Edelweissgeschwader" using the AirDoc decals. (1st option on the picture) I realy like the white engine cowl rings and wing tips. What do you say? Miko

Well, that's still a question Nmayhew. The time for a research on BoB has come.

Very nice Thomas! Looking forward for the final photo collection, don't make us wait long pls

Now that's an inspiration for my project! Very nice done Jeroen

Hmm, good idea, I did not pay attention to this, will have a look, what I can do, as the cockpit still isn't completely closed. Atm I'am having my good times finding out how the cement, that is used for clocks works

Well it gave me a bit of work, but finally the canopy fits with all 3 drums

Hello LPS Guys, Just a few pics of the JU 88 I'am currently working on. (btw don't mind the the date and time, it's just not set on my cam) Maybe not the best one, but well.. It's my second kit after the 109E-4 from eduard and yes, it's you Guttorm who made me decide to do this kit and the whole BoB collection. Comments and hints are more then welcome. Miko

Hello Thomas, Thanks for the offer, you guys are I'll contact you in case Revell does not help me out. Have a nice day, Miko

Hello Wumm, Thanks for the welcome and info. I'll try to contact revell direcly than and let's hope they'll be that kind in my case also. Thanks again, Miko

Hello LPS guys, I'am currently working on my 1/32 JU 88 A-1 from revell, but I guess I was unlucky having the nose part of the canopy very badly molded out of the box So I've tried to find an aftermarket sollution, but without any results. Any suggestions please? Thanks in advance, Miko
