IainM Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 This build was VERY lucky to see the light of day, almost gave up on it quite a few times, but happy to say, it made it to completion (after 2 years on and off) and not the final flight against the wall Base kit is the Revell ju88A-4, wish I'd had the A-1, would have saved me a lot of hassles, especially in the cockpit area/rear glazing to fuselage fairing. Fit of the kit wasn't the greatest, plastic was quite pebbly and soft. Not totally satisfied with the end result, but here she is! With a HUGE shout-out to @Pastor John from AIMS, people like him and others, keep us modellershappy!

You'll have to search your local, or not local, hobby store to see if they stock. I got mine from Aus. I know Hannants keeps them. Basically BG printed on a cardstock, I just glued mine to foamcore. Not the cheapest, but really nice Landrotten Highlander and Gerhard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 They look the part. Thanks for sharing. Sadly for me Hannants has gone out the window as a supplier. After the whole Brexit debacle, their shipping costs to South Africa have sky rocketed to a point where shipping is more than the item being purchased. Sad actually, as I have been using them for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Fabulous work, Iain! Being in a hangar like that really adds to it. IainM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
