That's fine - I till dare you to make it using a pair (or more) of Revell's 1/32 Ju-88As! <...>

Nah, not my scale! ;) If Revell were to re-pop the new Hasegawa 1/72 Ju-88s, that'd be a different story.  :wacko:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Hey GTX, could you please post some "straight" (not-whiff) Ju-388 variant profiles?

Line drawings please, the blanks for that jet-powered one earlier in the thread, a Ju-388K i believe. Would be perfect if you have the same drawings for the 388J and L also. I have some profile ideas that I want to experiment with.

Ah yes, always liked the look of  the 288.

I suspect Airmodel did a vacform of it where the left side didn't match the right side by about 5 mm, and the only other one modelled is by Anigrand at £140.00.  :banghead:

Or maybe someone else on here knows different?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Huma do a 1/72 Ju-288 for £34.25 (Hannants). And if you're feeling more extravagant, there's a Kora Ju-488 for £125.60  :blink:

A thought - imagine if the Ju-88 kept it's original nose contours rather than going with the "glass house" look:





Interestingly, the late model Ju-88S/T series in a way went back to this:

I've three of them stashed away for the future.  Fairly simple replacements for the relevent kit parts in the Dragon Ju 88 or Ju 188.

The glazing is the worst bit, apparently.
