Ju 588

And now all the major parts are glued together. 

There's a fair amount of PSR needed on that starboard wing-fuselage joint, but it's firmly stuck in position now, thank goodness.



After that it's the part I'm dreading, gluing in the main landing gear assemblies. With them sticking out underneath I'll have to be very careful with it, and then I have to glue the overwing 'hatches' in place before yet MORE PSR I'm sure.

Looking the part now Kit

Fantastic build, and I wonder at your stamina in fighting against all adversity.

That's the brid right there..love it and it's balanced beautifully.
Is the landing gear like that of the He-177 or one leg in each engine nacelle like ..umm it's the Ju-290 I think 🤔.

Coming right along.

It's got one single leg sprouting from each of the two inboard engine nacelles, with two wheels on each leg. I may be installing them tomorrow and I'll post some pics.

No it was a very clever and complex folding arrangement that never really worked properly despite Junkers best efforts.
