Pastor John Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Great that's 3! This is going to make me a rich man...not! No need for scale plans - just need as many interior shots as possible, especially any shots of the MG 151 cannon turret - or even the same set up on another aircraft. Best wishes John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssculptor Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've added a subtle hint in green below: Charles Metz Thank you, Charles. I picked the link Kag presented but the site I got did not have this page showing. I then clicked all the other tabs [Home] [Products] [AIMS Gallery] [Ju 88 modelling] [Links] but could not find any reference to a 1/32 Ju-188. I also could not find the page you present here. How did you get this page? Anyway, I am as pleased that AIMS is planning on coming out with the 188 conversion as I was when Revell revealed the Ju-88 kit. As you know I am totally in favor of the model companies presenting us with 1/32 aircraft that have not yet been done before. I am doubly pleased when they offer the bombers. When the Ju-88 was announced I felt sure that some of the aftermarket companies would provide us with parts to make the other versions. It appears that I was correct. Happy modeling, Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Hi John, Is that turret called Drehringlafette HD 151/2A? I have a pic of it, but again Luftfahrtachiv-Hafner sells the handbook for that one. Cheers, Hans Edited February 13, 2011 by Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor John Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Hi all, changed website and didn't include info on Ju 188 for now but all you need to know is on this site. As for F/D versions I will leave some scratch building to yourselves if you don't mind, I have bitten off more than I can chew already! I am thinking about doing the complicated cockpit tub mould myself as getting the Mistel warhead done professionally has broke me and the sales just have not materialized. A two part mould should do it and cope with the massive undercuts in the ventral area. Hans could you send me that pic to may normal email address and I will contact your seller as well, thanks Best wishes John PS just bought CD-ROM on the HD 151 turrett and got free pdf on MG 131 turret, thanks for that greta 'heads-up' Hans.

Hans Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 You are welcome John! I'll send the scans tomorrow. Best regards, Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Will you be providing drawing for the camera bays, and do you produce the relevant cameras? Any chance of posting the artwork for the decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 John, Just a thought - I know you said you were doing Vac to keep costs down. However, have you considered the cost of orders you might not get because that huge canopy is vac versus clear resin? Perhaps you could do two versions - one with vac canopies, another, more expensive version with resin canopies? I for one won't purchase any kit with a vac canopy, as I never have any luck with them and cannot be bothered to try at this point. As I say, "life is too short to mess around with vac canopies" . However, I love the look of the Ju188, and would indeed purchase one of these conversions if it had a clear resin canopy. Cheers, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesMetz Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I also could not find the page you present here. How did you get this page? Stephen, AIMS now has a new website, as John mentioned four posts up. The screenshot that I posted on December 1st was AIMS' standard home page at that time. If you couldn't find it then, perhaps your browser's cache needed clearing. Charles Metz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Doug Pastor John, fwiw, i am of the same mind set - much as i admire your work and much as i love the 188, there are just too many nice kits out there (and i don't have enough money for them) for me to go anywhere near vac now maybe i'm just a wuss, but... please do not take this as me putting down either your work or your enterprise in any way - that is not the intention, and i do follow the development of this project with interest just giving you my thoughts with my "consumer head" on that's all all the best Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 You can put me on the list, John, it is looking like it will be a spectacular conversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup Nick, you are indeed a wuss. I told you that on the blower the other day Vac is just another medium, as is resin and etch. The clarity of AIMS vac parts is superb. I've just removed the spine for the fuse of the Ju 88G-1/Mistel and just a shim of plasticard at the front edge, and the 'jobs a good un'. To remove canopies, just fill the inside edges with blue-tack to give rigidity and don't attempt to cut through all at once. Use a sharp new blade and some dymo tape as an edge to cut alongside. Give several cuts and lightly bend the plastic and it will come away. I can't wait to see this conversion. If the Mistel 2 is complete for then, I'll start this one immediately after.
