Vynce804 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Ok I couldn't resist any longer..Im in! Ive wanted to build this kit for a while and there are a bunch of great markings so this group build is the perfect excuse. First impressions are its no Tamiya Mosquito, but then again it is 1/3 the price. You do get lots for your money, the cockpit is lovely and i think it will build up into a very impressive model. i have made a start and built the cockpit which is now ready for paint. i have also decided to modify the kit a little, the kit has no engines but i have decided to graft a resin one onto one wing. its not exactly the right engine but looks sufficiently like a jumo 211 to be good enough when I've finished...I hope!

LSP_Ray Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Resistance is futile! Looks like a good start! I have several of these with AIMs conversions - just need time!
monthebiff Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Nice work and good to see another 88 being built. Will be watching with interest!. Regards. Andy

dmthamade Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 That's great paintwork/detailing on the pit!! Is any of it aftermarket or is it all kit parts? Don

dennismcc Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Looks great, as with a lot of people I have one of those in the stash so it is great to see what it takes to build it. Cheers Dennis

The cockpit is so nice, when I made a Aimes conversion 188 model I had the whole front end left over. I made it as a display piece, like a bit of salvage in a museum from the wreck of a downed Ju 88 This build is looking amazing!
monthebiff Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Very nice paint work on the cockpit, enjoying seeing this come together. Regards. Andy
KitmodellerNZ Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Beautiful! I'm up to black basing and applying the upper side camo on mine at the moment.
