Hello, this time is the Ju 88 G6 a late nigtht fighter version the subject of the modelling activity. The kit is from AMT good for me

[AMT] 1 72 - JUNKERS JU 88 G6 (ju88) Dsc08551

It is the same kit of Ju 88 S with solid nose, squared vertical tail surface and radar antennas. As for the Ju 88 S there are 2 sets of engines and props, BMW and Jumo
Wheels , landing gear covers are accurate

antennas are on the heavy side, I have the metal one but these are flat instead of round as in the real

for the cabin detail I used an Eduard set even if it is for early Ju 88 models, the radar box is the noticeable variation

[AMT] 1 72 - JUNKERS JU 88 G6 (ju88) Dsc08648

lots of pieces to assemble for instruments and seatbelts

[AMT] 1 72 - JUNKERS JU 88 G6 (ju88) Dsc08649

this is the second metal set , I used the front detail for Jumo engines, but there is not the internal detail for radar, I use to let the canopy open to add variations

I had no decals, instructions, box, so I did a research to find the the plane to reproduce, at the end this seemed the proper one whit pics of both sides

Bello lavoro

Bonjour à tous,

>> paolo liguori : Beautiful project. Good build. Bravo !
The unit code is B4 = NJSt. Norwegen (with Staffel letter A) from 10-1944 onwards.
This late Ju 88 G-6 sported the "cloud camouflage" consisting of uppersurfaces painted entirely RLM 75 sprayed with RLM 76 so forming "clouds".
