The Junkers Ju 88 was a World War II German Luftwaffe twin-engine, multi-role aircraft.
Designed by Hugo Junkers' company in the mid-1930s to be a so-called Schnell bomber
which would be too fast for any of the fighters of its era the JU 88 proved to be suited to almost any role.
The assembly line ran constantly from 1936 to 1945, and more than 16,000 JU88s were built in dozens of variants.
The basic structure of the aircraft remained unchanged.

Nice Review dude!
Some ejector pin marks in not so god places but other than that seems like a nice kit.
Im sure it will build up to an impressive model of the Ju88 which I Love!

[Russ72]

[Rob]

[mademodeller]

Build Part 3.
[youtube]TcAf7QWL144[/youtube]

The main rear fuzz joints went fine as did the cockpit but the wings roots that the cockpit had a lots of filler to bring them out to the fuzz roots.
Most of the filling was done is in the sink marks & the cockpit to the rear fuzz.


This rear can-of-peas was made up to see if it fitted to the fuzz.


next came to the fin & the tail plan witch came out very good just a light sanding.


Tail plan.


The U/C was done at the same time so that it can be fitted at the end.
You can how I did these in the video.


Under side wings no filler was needed.


The upper wing had some filler in the tips & the sink marks.


These Parts were not to bad.
A little work and there fitted well.
Back with Part 4 soon.
Thanks for looking.

Some information if you do not know the Ju 88

The Junkers Ju 88 was a World War II Luftwaffe twin-engine, multi-role aircraft. Designed by Hugo Junkers' Junkers company in the mid-1930s, it suffered from a number of technical problems during the later stages of its development and early operational roles, but became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war. Like a number of other Luftwaffe bombers, it was used successfully as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter, and even as a flying warhead during the closing stages of conflict. Despite its protracted development, the aircraft became one of the Luftwaffe's most crucial assets. There were 15,000 Ju 88s built during World War II, more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of the period.
