There's still a few more, but....
Anyway, is there much going on at the SIG Norway Gutt, or is it a lull in the fighting? Think that the last update was in November, is that right?

 

[Maximowitz]

No love for the Ju 88 G-6?

 

[Lucky13]

Have one! 8) These are IF I remember correctly, Norway based '88's....

Got the '88 delivery today Gutt! Thank you SO very much mate!

 

[Maximowitz]

A Ju 88 G - 6 at Grove, Denmark 1945.

As far as I know, no G - 6's in Norway, no point as Bomber Command would never route raids into Germany that far North.

The G - 6 was used in the last Luftwaffe long range intruder mission of WWII, "Unternehmen Gisela."

 

[Lucky13]

When I get to purchase my 1/32 '88, I think that I'll be doing this machine...

[jamierd]

wifes family is from the Edinburgh area so that last 1 is promising depending on how much i would have to alter the model i have .he question now is what are the differences between an A4 and an A14

 

[Lucky13]

Ju 88A-14,

This version was an improvment on Ju 88A-4, and featured increased armor, balloon cable cutters in the wings leading edges, and sometimes additional 1x20 mm MG FF forward firing cannon in the forward part of the undernose gondola for antishipping purposes...

 

[jamierd]

Ok adding the 20mm in the gondo;a shouldnt be too difficult what do the cable cutters look like though never seen them

 

[Micdrow]

Ran across these in Opsrey book and thought you might be interested Jan!!!

 

[Micdrow]
