Lindberg JU 88: 1/48 or 1/72?

I think that it is actually an old "box scale" kit that was designed to fit a particular size box. Something in between 1/72 and 1/48, like 1/60 or something on that order... If you can get the kit's wingspan, it is not too hard to do the math and figure out the exact scale.

Looks like it has an 11" wingspan. The Ju-88 was 59', so a 708" wingspan. That makes it basically 1:64 scale.

The Lindburg 1/32 scale armoured car I made as a kid came with 1/48 scale figures.  The care was a behemoth beside them!

years ago I tackled the HE-111 and JU-88 and it was 1/64th which was as big as one could get.

I had to do a lot of work but I loved the simplicity and they looked pretty good once I finished.

NOW my son is in the hobby and to get him started I had him build the remaining HE-111's and JU-88's as well as a 1/72nd HE-100 . It helped him get the confidence he needed to get going and I got them for just a couple $'s so no heart attacks if he messed up
