I will be following this build myself and looking forward to it. The only thing that stops me building one is that I'm a UK guy in the USA myself and will be returning in 6 months after a 10 year stay and already have to many precious models to ship back!

Revell Pro-Modeler 1/32 Junkers Ju 88A-1 Bomber - "FINAL REVEAL!!" (3.18.16)

Hello Chaps,

 

Since completing my Monogram Pro-Modeler 1/48 scale Heinkel He 111H-22 and enjoying every minute of the build, along with the end result, I wanted to do another German Bomber, either the Ju 88 or the Do17. Very kindly, one of my YouTube viewers sent me this kit- the Revell Pro-Modeler 1/32 Junkers Ju 88A-1 Bomber, for which I was extremely grateful!

 

So, without further ado, let's get onto the introduction:

 

 

The kit comes in a sturdy two piece lid and base box with a 24 page black and white instruction booklet, a decal sheet that offers two sets of markings- one for Geschwaderstab KG 30 and one for a "Battle of Britain" version Kampfgeschwader 54, six bags of sprues; five bags containing a total of 13 grey sprues and one bag containing a single clear sprue making a total of 281 parts.

 

This kit was originally released as a new tooling in 2008, then again in 2011 with a new box art and last released in 2013 with new box art and some new parts. This kit is the second release of 2011.

 

 

The Box Art:

Specification table on the side of the lid:

With the lid removed one can see the contents are contained in a nice sturdy base with overlapping sides:

So, that's the kit, let the build begin!....I have actually begun the build, I started on Monday, but I'm just getting around to posting and starting this build thread.

In the meantime, if you'd like to see my YouTube "Build Introduction" video, then here is the link to that:
