Guest Clunkmeister Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Seriously impressed here, Chris. Unbelievable, actually. I have a half completed 388 project I bought from a member here, and I have yet to get the bravery to atte:pt that greenhouse. Respect, man. Much respect!

Thunda Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Lovely model. Fancy one of those myself. Dont know if anyone has already posted this, but stumbled onto this 1/4 scale Ju188 when Googling AIMs stuff. Truly amazing- 2 X 250cc engines! Dont know whether its flown yet though...

chrish Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Hi guys Thank you all very much for your kind words, the Aims 188 conversion is nicely done and a very good fit to the Revell kit. (I did make a diorama of the original cut off Ju88 nose, built up and placed on stands as a war memorial museum piece so as not to waste any parts) The paint is all Tamiya acrylics thinned 50/50 with Tamiya acrylic thinner and sprayed through an Iwata eclipse CR at about 15-20 PSI. (sometimes very low pressure, about 8-10 psi, but the paint can spatter at low pressure) I remove the tip nozzle guard on the airbrush, get very close to the model and start scribbling. I'm planning on the same type of "wellenmuster" scheme for the 110G4 currently on the bench. Off the soapbox now. Again, thanks for looking in and the positive comments.
