mhorina Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Are JRs ETC 500 ok to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDavis Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Who is JR? Jerry Rutman? Jerry makes an ETC 500/1XB for the JU-87. The Ju-88A1 used a ETC 500 /IX d that is different. The Ju-88 rack is considerably longer and narrower Perhaps GF can comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlow Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Did the A-1 use these racks? Maybe only introduced with the A-4, 5 etc....? I'm not sure myself but it is a possibility. I do however predict that someone is going to release some along with a ton and a half of other stuff for this kit!! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Ok answer my own question - yes racks used a lot on A-1s. So I suppose a plea should go out to the aftermarket to bring some out for us.....in fact I'm off to the QuickBoost site to suggest them.

maverick728470 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Mattlow, What i can do is cast some in bondo and send them to u.Have no resin materials at all.But if u wish,I'll do them.But won't be until after X-MAS.Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Hi Matt, Yes 4 racks 2 under each wing used at "Scapa Flow" "In the third week of the war four Ju 88A-1s attacked British warships at Scapa Flow, but they caused no damage."

JRutman Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I can easily make these racks. I need a wing side profile to make sure that they will fit. Can anyone send me a drawing of the wing side profile that matchs the kit? JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDavis Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 JR, I hope so. I have nut thing. Mike Horina Jerry I just sent you an e-mail offering you the plans. The ones I have are 1/48 scale so tomorrow I will get them scaled and sent to you. Perhaps some one else has something more readily available. Note that the racks on the A1 are longer then those on later marks Del Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
