LSP_K2 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 OK, fellas, I'd like some advice on really good Ju 88 night fighter books (if any exist). I realize the variety of available schemes may be somewhat limited with these versions, but that's what I'm really interested in the most. Thanks a bunch, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob MDC Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Will try to locate what I have, trying to get the books sorted out after the move has been a bit fun but starting to get there I have quite a few on the Ju88 as we did a few bits in 1/48 will keep you posted.

DeanKB Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I suspect I've got something useful - I'll have a look over the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Did the G-10 ever actually serve in combat (besides as a Mistel)? Edited June 7, 2019 by John1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob That would be great. While I already seem to have plenty on the A and perhaps even C, I have virtually nothing on the G's. 4 hours ago, DeanKB said: I suspect I've got something useful - I'll have a look over the next couple of days. Terrific. I appreciate it, Dean. 3 hours ago, John1 said: Did the G-10 ever actually serve in combat (besides as a Mistel)? I really have no idea.

Gazzas Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Decent night fighter pics are in such a minority. I'd be surprised if there was a book centered on only the 88G's. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hi Kevin If you are looking for color schemes only, try and get the 1/48 sheet from Pastor John. I have not really seen any more well documented Ju 88 G's than the ones on the 1/48 sheet. BTW it is the same schemes that came with the initial 1/32 conversion. If they are not in stock I can scan the pictures for you. Nick LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 As far as I know, no final book was ever dedicated to the Ju-88 nightighter with a really interesting set of pictures. You only have chapters in Ju-88 books. I think one of the best references I got was the Trojca Ju88 volume 2 but it has more plans than anything else. Generally, books dedicated to German nighfighters have a better coverage than the Ju88 books and, by the way, the situation is quite similar for the Me110G4. Out of my memory, the old Model Art dedicated to Luftwaffe nightfighters is an excellent reference on that topic.

Junkers Ju 88 in action by Captain Nemo - issuu https://issuu.com/cmjw24/docs/_aircraft_in_action_1113__brian_fil I'm pretty sure "Captain Nemo" didn't write that book, and I'm also pretty sure he doesn't have the copyright on it.

It has 15 pics of Ju-88G's. of varying usefulness. If color scheme is the only thing you're looking for, there are 7 pics where the color scheme can be defined. The more I look at Nachtjager color schemes, the more i realize that it was all up to the guy holding the paint gun. I have seen patterns like the he-219 at Udvar Hazy, criss-cross patterns, large and small blotches, barely definable patterns, and many where it looks like the RLM 75 was almost completely covered with RLM 76. Quite often the main difficulty is marrying call letters and numbers to a certain scheme, like this one that is in the book and available online: A great scheme to try... but no call more identification info to find.
