Whoops forgot pic
8./ZG 26 in 1942
Man... About a deadly looking aircraft as I've seen! Love the 30mm!
You know, I've tried to find a definitive picture, but I'm still finding wildly different descriptions. The 435 is said to have retained the pusher piston engine, 2 Jumo222 jet turbans and slightly longer wings, then I see pictures with the frontal engine with a jet engine internal where the rear one would have been and a large air intake on the fuse spine, and another with a stretched nose and jet engines, not sure what to believe yet.

Doug -- I'll put you down at once, the -17Z nightfighter would be a great subject, and I'll be most interested to see how you handle a Hobbycraft kit! I mist say, that Do-435 sounds a beast, and quite a subject for a conversion...
Trey, great progress!

Thanks Mike... Yeah, the Hobby Craft kits are not known for their quality and will likely take a bit of patience and a fair share of cussing, () But with some PE and a bit of resin, might make for a good base to begin from. Besides unless you want to take a second on your house, there aren't too many other chioces in that kit, but were going to give it a shot...
Doug
TB thanks appreciate that.
Doug after seeing the great job you did on the 88 I'm sure you'll whip that hobby crap Do17 into shape! As you've already stated theres lots of a/m & resin goodies out there for it! Anyway always like to see the off the beaten path subjects!
Got the wings and tail feathers on, starting to take shape!.

Trey now they are starting to look like 88s
Well I have made up my mind, I'm changing my entry to the Pro Modeler 110G-4. Hate to brag, but for it to be bought and delivered to my doorstep for $14 USD, how in the world could I not?
P1 amended!
The far reaches of the German empire. I hope. My build was stationed in Denmark
Trey, Were Gonna try!, Man, you are really doing the pair justice!!! They are really going to be impressive when completed. I really do like the Glass Nose, gondola fully decked out Ju88, but an 88 is an 88!Saw one many years ago at a museum in the UK, and until you stand near it its hard to get a grip on its true size. Looking forward to the beginning of the paint process.
OH and AJD... Great score! I have one of the Pro 110s in stash and a 32nd Revell in stash, but not at that price!
AJD -- "Reich" translates as "Empire," so the Third Reich was a name for the entire sphere of Nazi influence.
So a plane in Hungarian (pre 1944 occupation) colors would be acceptable. Good deal.
Doug thanks,would love to see an 88 up close and personal like that one day myself!
They're looking like actual aircraft now! Some nice work there, Trey!
SchattenSpartan They're looking like actual aircraft now! Some nice work there, Trey!
Thanks!
I managed to shoot some primer on finally
I was able to get a little work done this weekend. Nothing worthwhile for a pic. Canopy is masked and sprayed RLM 66. Hopefully tomorrow night will get the 76 on
Looking forward to seeing that color on TJ
Wet sanded the primer ,ready for a neutral base color and preshade now
D5 + AH Now has some color!
tail shot with the Pilot Herbert Koch
Nice work, Trey.
That mottling looks amazing, Trey! Must've taken you ages to paint all of that...
Started to spray 76 last night. You don't realize how big that plane is until you try and spray it an overall one color. Couldn't finish hopefully this weekend. And it was my first time spraying enamels in a long while. A little different then my tamiya
Trey... Man, What a cool looking paint job! Excellent!
Johnny, Good Luck! I'm sure it will be fine!
Moose thank you!
Schatten took about 3 hours including having to repaint one wing after an ugly a/b spit! Thanks for the compliment
TJ yea these 88's suck up the paint do'nt they! Looking forward to seeing some pics of your progress
Doug thank you kindly!
Decal session complete, resin props and hubs sorted. The Owl decals layed down very nicely but are very delicate,they do'nt like to be moved around a lot after they set down,
Truly spectacular progress, Trey! Looking forward to this beast taking wing with a clean finish!
Trey... Yeah I hear you about Owl... They do make some impressive items, but as the general manager of one of the larger hobby shops I frequent said, They (Owl products) will cause great consternation and gnashing of teeth!) even for the most experienced among us. I had originally bought the Owl FuG 202 Lichtenstein radar array for my build, and after absolutely destroying the first 2 I tried (following their instructions exactly) I swept the entire kit into the trash, bound it with chain, incased it in a lead box and sprinkled with holy water then buried where it could never again menace mankind... ever again!!! LOLOL...
Great work my brother!
Ok finally sprayed the beast.
It's getting it's spots
TJ... That bad boy is coming out great! I'm digging it!
