Pastor John Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Managed to get fuselage profiles done today - perhaps get engines and wings done tomorrow but at least here you can see the decal options mentioned in an earlier post Radders, Iain, AndersN and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor John Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Well that was fun, just finished profiles with engines, need photos of exterior stenciling - engine and under horizontal stabilizer to be specific.

Guest Vulcan32 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hi John, do you know a release date? I would like to finish one for the IPMS Show in Vienna in March 2015. Regards, Heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor John Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Well I only have a few parts left to design and a few decals to do then its a case of waiting for factory cast and decals being printed - I think February is not un-realistic but can never tell.

mywifehatesmodels Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 That's great news, John! Profiles look great, too. If this is ready by February, it would be just in time for my birthday! I'll have to start throwing out thick hints to the wife. Also, would it be possible to order "one and a half" of these conversions? Of course, we can discuss the details when you're finished and have them ready, but I already know I want one of the planes depicted, plus I have another project in mind that wouldn't require all of the parts.

Pastor John Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 I am glad to announce that as I am expecting test shot parts of my Ju 388 to arrive from the factory tomorrow - I should almost certainly have a half decent completed test shot model on my stand at Telford - come and have a look, thanks John Iain and Wurzacher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywifehatesmodels Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Really looking forward to pics from Telford, if possible! I just snagged a second 88A-1 for use as another donor kit. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor John Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Hi there, thanks to everyone who came by to see me at Telford and encouraged me about the 388, here is a picture below. I am now taking pre order deposits so I know how many injection parts to order from factory. i do not have a total cost yet but I guess it will be about £120.00 but please don't hold me to that - it is an educated guess. If you want you simply send me £20.00 via Paypal to my email address aimsmodels1@gmail.com and make sure it says Ju 388 on it and has your full address. I am expecting a February release date so pre order deposits taken until 10th December. Thanks Edited November 10, 2014 by Pastor John Nicholas R Larson and Wurzacher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Thanks for posting, John! I'm glad to see that you are so close to finishing. I really want to throw down a deposit, but I also have a few questions, first. Is the canopy a vac, resin, or injection molded plastic? I may have missed that, but I did see you mention "injection" parts, so I just wanted to be clear. Also, The spinners and engine fronts look a little different than what I expected. It could be the photo, but the spinners, especially, look a little small (Edit: It could be because I can't see the cooling fans and they usually block the view of everything else, making the spinners seem larger than they probably are. So, they are probably just fine). Probably something that I've overlooked, but would like to hear your input on that. As I stated earlier, this one is a must have for me and I would like one full conversion, as well as the possibility of a select few parts to be used for another project. Hopefully we can work something out once you're finished. Thanks again for posting everything!

Pastor John Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi there John, Canopy is vacuform. Spinners dimension are based on same drawings as engine cowls and look perfect to me, will post another photo Wurzacher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
