The Ju-88 is my favorite German twin engine ac too. I am so glad that you are building this conversion. I want to build one too but this large "contraption" would never be allowed in the house. Good luck and have fun always, Rick I've always wanted to have a go at one of these in 32nd scale and decided to go the whole hog with the G-10, not sure where it will go when I've finished it though.

monthebiff Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 So first cuts made to this massive project yesterday with getting the already massive fuselage rady to accept the 70mm extension piece. Well, No going back on this one now and the fit of the extension is very good. Need to concentrate on the cockpit now and convert it from an A-4 in to a late G variant. Regards.

monthebiff Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 While looking though Roger S Gaemperle's excellent Captured Eagle's Vol 1 I came across these shots of G-10 Mistels, this is 460066 which I am building. Particularly like the last shot if you can call it a complete Mistel with the Fw 190 just dumped on top of the 88.

monthebiff Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) So after chopping the fuselage in half in excitment of joining the this group build I realised I probably should have glued the buklheads/ wing spars in place first to ease initial alignment before getting the razor saw out but never mind. So with that in mind I will work on the rear fuselage foward. The tail wheel bay on the Ju-88 is pretty large open space and needs some detail. On mu Ju-188 build I used the Profi Modeller set which although very nice is very very expensive now. On this build I'm going to use the AIMS etched set which is a nice simple set and is a massive improvement to the very basic kit parts. Hopefuuly I can follow the Profi set a bit and make some improvements based on that set. So with a bit of care I opened up necesary holes and then added the etched skins. Not had a lot of time to concentrate on this one but with all my refernce sorted now I'm looking foward to getting on with this one now. Regards.

monthebiff Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 So after no real time to fully concentrate on this build I am now back on it as I want to complete it in the time frame which would be pretty impressiv for me with my previous group builds. Have been concentrating on the tail whell bay adding the AIMS brass detail for the ribs which over this I added Evergreen strip followed up by adding the bulkheads in readyness for painting. Need to get the tailwheel assembly together now in readyness for hydraulic lines. Very happy to be back on this one. Regards.
