John1 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 That is some truly wonderful work. Just a random question, that I'm guessing no one has an answer to - if the Ju-88 was going on a one-way mission, would they not have stripped out all the radios and other high-value components out of the cockpit during the conversion process? monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probable not on the training version. The ones on the one way mission did not have cockpits but warheads. monthebiff and John1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definately an interesting question John and after looking at many, many mistel pictures you definately can see some interior still present sometimes but in the end with no photographic evidence of a G10 interior or a G6 for that then we will never know. Interestingly in the wondeful boojk "Captured Eagles " by Roger S Geamperle there is clear evidence these arcraft where flight tested prior to br moved to the Mistel program. Regards.

There where a number of Mistel versions with the early versions having the cockpit section removed and replaced with a warhead, Later Mistels kept the cockpit. Regards.

monthebiff Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Some serious progress today with first up getting the fuselage extension glued in place after some careful sanding and trimming Than the massive sail of the vertical stabiliser was fitted followed by the equally massive horizontal stabilisers Also couldnt resist a quick test fit of the main sub assembies Absolutely massive with the fuel tank extension fitted, lots of filling, sanding and scribing coming up!

Pastor John Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Love it Andy, hope we can finish about the same time. I am not fitting the radar equipment due to no external evidence or need for it plus weight saving. I do however want to make an Mg 131 bin cradle like you have. I have also cut down my pilots backrest as per photos of G-1 and 6s. Best wishes and great work, J Edited December 22, 2021 by Pastor John Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jager Living on Tulsa Time No this one is still on the to finish pile or what I would like to call the SOD. Have some issues with the fuselage extension and cockpit glazing. I'm slowly working through my started builds so will be getting back to this and also want to get a 190 fitted as well for the full Mistel combination. Regards.

Andy I don't know what issues you are having with the cockpit canopy but Aerocraft Models offers a very nice replacement part. The canopies Alistair has, comes in armored and unarmored versions depending on your ship-build.

I botched my vac canopy on this one so the resin replacement will work nicely. Will be getting one of these ordered as well as one for.my C-6 conversion. Regards.
