I read an article about these drones. A little improvement on the control system and I think it could really make life hard for the Russian navy.

Just saw in the new Squadron news letter, Micro Mir has a new mold Junkers F-13 coming out sometime this year.

This is tempting.

I got the Ukrainian drone recently. It's a simple and small model, with some PE. The color scheme is pretty simple...

That can be changed very easily!

Saw a post of Facebook recently saying that Micro-Mir were going to do a 1/72 Ju 388. Hope it's cheaper than the Kora ones.

Now, THAT is a pleasant surprise

They're working on a Ju 388K/L but I doubt we'll see it before 2026 and it will be pricey.

1/35 John Cobb's Crusader K6.

1/35? That's on the big side, almost big enough for radio and a motor etc..............

Bluebird K7 next?

Someone on Britmodeller has slated the renders for their Ju 388, something about the nacelles.

There's a Spanish outfit called Mulberry Scale kits doing various 3d printed conversions and they have a 388 conversion in the works (to go with the Revell Ju 88), but their stuff is very pricey (their Casa 2.111 is geared to go with the Airfix He 111 and is more expensive than the RRP of that kit!) and it isn't that easy to get either.

The Kora kits are at least relatively accurate - the K/L-3 I have looks about right. The Airmodel conversions are still available, but only the L-O is anywhere close to correct. The Toad conversions are long gone and any on the second hand market are very pricey (wockney canker conman Uncle Albert of Kit Krazy had a pair at Telford had a pair at 30 notes each) and they will suffer from yellowing canopies.

About 27cm or 10¹/₂ inches.

This needs to be painted black with a torpedo or missile on board. Or remote control with a fuse sticking out the front.
