Considering the amount of hacking and gouging required to create the thing, I figured before I start carving up a Ju188 I'd tackle the rear end which if it screws up won't ruin a difficult to acquire kit.
This idea started out as a cheesy 'Amerika' bomber project and has evolved into an answer to the convoy escort carrier threat. The scenario that I have come to envision is for every Ju290 there would be say three of these mistels kicking about carrying a torpedo armed fw190 or Ta152, the idea being that before they are detected the fighter could sneak in just above the waves and deliver it's payload, being much smaller then a bomber making it a difficult target, and then address the ensuing fighter preferably before they managed to get airborne.
The one that I am building in 1/72 started out as a Ju388, but due to a variety of issues I've come to the conclusion a Hasegawa Ju188 would be a wiser choice, which, unfortunately is a bit out of reach at the moment.
I am experimenting with uploading from my android phone, unfortunately no joy using the gallery, so I'm trying with photobucket.
