Roman

LOL Mikeym... just 2 of them, one is still missing... rotation gunner position :)

and thx all :)

Roman

Lovely looking paint job Roman. Great work.

Just thought I'd let you know Roman that I found your missing gun barrels. They are in the bucket that your JU-188 is sitting on at the bottom by the tweezers.

Ok, little update from my evening work

 

Reference:

 

 

Step 1 and 2 is makeing of splinter RLM 70/71

Step 3 is mottling with RLM76

Further steps will be wher nessecery mottling with RLM 70/71 over RLM76 and black belly and found replacement for guns who already gone away :P

 

 

Cheers

  Outstanding build thus far Roman. I'm grateful for the tips you give while building as they will certainly help me.

Well the squiggles are actualy RLM65 underside blue but that type of camo was only really used on aircraft used on night raids.

Vajled:

thx Jose for info... I will check out

Does someone mybe know whitch colors are used for upper surface?

bottom is black... I have found somehwere that upper is mix of: RLM65, And on it goes: RLM 02 / 71 combination?

 

Cheers

 

Roman

 

Based on my experience it would have had a standard splinter scheme of dark and medium green w/ an underside of RLM65...black distemper added to bottom and either RLM 75 or 76 added as squiggles...

Vajled, whcih unit does the aircraft your building belong to and whats the tail code you are useing.

Vajled

I know I have used it before on one of my previously builds:

 

Here is splinter with RLM02

Roman

This is my favourite luftwaffw scheme

The fan is molded onto the cowling Zero Enna. Though I don't know why they didn't make the JU-188 with either a molded on engine facing or even  seperate radial engines so one to show the panels opened.

Zero Enna

Looking good so far.  Fortunately, you're not using the Jumo 213 cowlings, they're awful. The BMW 801 cowlings are better, but they lack the 12-bladed fan behind the propeller (see Fw-190A pictures for some reference). Waiting to see more. Best regards.

02 could have been used late in the war if there was a shortage of other stocks. I will check some referances tonight.

 

Wasn`t RLM 02 used as an interior color? I haven`t built many German A/C but remember `02 for cockpits and wheel wells,etc. I`d bet there`s a Violet-Grey involved on the topside cammo.

Len

Yes, but on occasion it was also used as an exteriour colour. But i can't recall off the top of my head if it was just early in the war, towards the end, or throughout.

just got this on one forum... great stuff for Ju-188 camo...

mybe will be helpfull to someone

Roman

Bish, Len... thx

RLM02 was used, not only for wheel bays and interior ... but I'm not shure where and when...

I have only this black and white picture of camo what I like to do...

Thx for help

Thx Bish,

Also sounds to me more logic these what you say than what I found about RLM 65 and 02/71 combination on it

Thx a lot

Roman

I think the squiggle pattern was usually RLM 75. Not so sure about the RLM 02/71 combination this late in the war. More common colours for that period seem to have been 81/82/83. Hopefully somone will correct me if i'm wrong.

Roman,

Great tip on the seatbelt - thanks for sharing.  Have tried making belt myself, but always struggled to get them realistic.  Will give your method a try next time.

Great way to add detail to a low detail kit! Thanks for the seatbelt tip!
