Alright, I said I would play too!

It's been awhile since I did a campaign so I'll chime in with this old girl.

The obligatory shots!

and going to go something along the lines of this image (taken from Warthunder Live).

I'll do my best to finish on time!!!

Nice one Warren, we haven't had a big German like this in a while.

No floats? Someone run up to NS and check Warren's temperature.

Hahaha, never fear Chris! I have another in the stash and a set of Heinkel floats just for that purpose someday!

I know for a fact though that it will take some time so I'm building a regular wheeled version for this.

Had the day off so got a start on this!

And got the fuse and wings together

And a few bits... the drop tank and Hs 293 glide bomb

What a nice start!

Started to clean up the nacelles and dry fit the main gear. This kit's fit is amazing! I think I had heard that Bill Koster was involved with the molds for this kit.

Of course you do. Pshwoo! That was close!
Now where's that nice, cold cup of STFU that I drink so often from?

Coming along nicely. Can't believe I didn't buy this kit. Gary S.

Love it. I built one of these way back when I could see 1/48 lol. Looking forward to seeing this build come together.

Looking good Warren!

 

[sharkman]

This is all just dry fit, going to paint it up soon!

I get the dry fit part Warren. My Ju88 is a huge amount of dry fit with a bunch of sub assemblies. It is working well there and has been made a LOT more complex than the original kit had, but has been nothing major for correction, just me upgrading everything.
