Cheers guys.

Edwin, i really can't take much credit for the seatbelts. They are pre coloured PE. There is some assembly of small parts on the lap belts, the trick is getting them to lay right as they are metal.

Tanker, yep, they come with the Eduard PEset. A lot of what you see in there is off the same set, including all the radio faces and instruments. I really could not paint to that level of detail no matter how small the brush.

Greg, it is a late war modification of the Ju 88. Many of the parts in the kit are common to the other Hasegawa Ju 88 kits, the main visible differance is the canopy but it also has longer wings.

Glad to have you following Toshi.

Asusual there will be a diorama for this which i hope will be a bit different as i am useing a Kora compass swing with it.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Edwin

Surprise 72nd scale, you say? The level of detail in those seatbelts is amazing! I'm in awe!

 

That's Bish for you. He's one of the 1/72nd masters here. I dunno how he does it either.

That's an odd looking aircraft, never saw one before. Looking good, Bish.

I don't have a single Ju 88 or variant there of on the built shelevs, despite having plenty in the stash. So i thought it was time i corrected that and to start the collection i'm doing the Hase Ju 188A.

I am adding quite a few extras, starting witrh an Eduard Biged PE set. So far i have the cockpit together and painted and then added all the pre coloured PE.

Then got it added to the fuselage.

Now i have a bit of clean up to do along the seam. Won't be easy as there is quite a bit of engraved detail which would be easy to fix.
