Hello,

Here is the start of my project: a Ju 88R-2 flown by Helmut Lent between May and October 1944 (until his accident).
No photo exist about this "special" aircraft, the only thing known is W.Nr.751088, the code probably D5+AA but many R-2s have nothing but national insignia... Without photo it is not possible to say
The base is Dragon Ju 88C-6 night fighter with MDC or AIMS BMW engines and Master FuG 220 SN-2 radar Lichtenstein...



Here is the detail that we find in the box: Dragon 5540 Ju88C-6 Wersja Nocna

MDC BMW 801 engines


AIMS BMW 801 engines with flame damper


Master FuG 220 SN-2 radar Lichtenstein


I'm ready !!!
 
Nicely work so far. I've been assembling parts to convert a JU-188E into a "D" variant by using the left over JU-88G1/G10 kit. The BMW 801 engines of the 188E are slated to go on to one of my two JU-88C6 kits to make an "R". You've got a head start, so I will follow your build to see what I can learn before I start on mine. The one I want to do used the "Himmelbett" array.

Nice. If you are fussy about the looks of the sidewalls, those indentations where the wing fits could be filled in.

You're right Andy but I hope it will not be visible when the cockpit will be finished and closed
AT6: my worry is about the mounting of the resin BMW801 engines on the model...!!! I hope not to have too much problem

Here is the cockpit almost finished
