Wow, Rick, I didn't think the Cant could look any better, but it does

And the Junkers is gorgeous. I remember building the original 1:72 JU-88 around 1970, and have loved those airplanes ever since. I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning, but I remember that light-gray Revell plastic as clearly as if it was yesterday...

Thanks! I think the only thing the New Mold Ju88 has in common with the Revell original is it is Grey Plastic

Lovely kit to build.

That camouflage on the Cant is some of the best I have seen on a model. Such a shame that those Italian bombers are not seen more often - they were very interesting types IMO.

Thanks for looking in and the comments! The Ju88 A-1 is one step closer to completion:

Looks great, Rick! And I love the "defenders" thread too, brings back lots of fond memories of the early '70s when the BoB was getting a lot of press because of the 30th anniversary (!) and the release of the film.

Thanks for following along Dutch. Yesterday I added weathering using oils. The final step will be touch up and adding the final parts.

PS: Something I forgot to mention. One Prop Blade was a short shot. I cut off the offending end and spliced a blade end from an unused part from another kit.

This is stunning, Rick! What a group you're going to have when they're all gathered together...

I agree with Dutch - very good modelling.

Stephen.

Thanks Guys. Here is the latest almost finished BoB attacker. Airfix 1/72nd Fiat G50.

By the way, I need to fix the canopy as it is installed incorrectly

The Italian faction certainly is filling out! Great stuff!

Another winner, Rick!

I was digging around in the garage today and uncovered the old Italieri FIAT BR-20, which I picked up twenty-five years ago at a show with the idea of someday doing it in Japanese markings. But now I’m thinking it sure would look pretty in sand/rust/spinach…
