and where is the pics of the revi 12 c with green glass ?

Haven't touched it yet....on Saturday!

and any info on the undercarriage assembly? anything I should add? Colours? Please

 

[Junkers88A1]

ahhhh

legs..grey ( 02 ) and remeber the three gold areas on upper part ( they are not painted ) gold tamyia is perfect..see picture
( some models shows this with three holes here on the leg..that is wrong..the holes are covered with thinn golden aluminumplates ( dented on these pics )

and also a must is the yellow band with the little decal on it ( white with red outline ) many on the decalset

the lower part ( here stripped so the shiny movable strut is visible ) is covered ( present on kit ) with black or dark brown leather to prevent dust from getting into the shiny oily part and damage it)

and since we are talking about the legs..this is how a Ju 88 wheel and tire SHOULD look like

note the white skidmark that goes from the wheel to the tire..this is in all documents by RLM stating to be red.. but the A1was white ( the A5 had red )
its war..one takes what one has..hehe

and to prove it..also a picture of the original white stripe,,just in case some think i might be joking..hehe

hope this helps

looking forward to see more

Thanks Guttorm!

Wow, what was the purpose of the skidmark?

I'm assuming to check if the tyre moves on the rim.....

Have added the Clear Green, but it looks too dark to me...?

Looks a tad dark, but if you tried to go lighter, it could look too light...if you know what I mean!?! Allowing for the angle it'll be seen at behind the windscreen, I reckon it'll be OK. if you decide to go lighter (probably have to make a new screen), I've found that adding a touch of gloss clear to the 'paint' works quite well, and is more controllable than trying to thin the transparent paint.
Yep, the skid, or slip marks were to indicate if there had been any major movement of the tyre on the wheel rim, probably caused by heavy landings or agressive braking, which could cause the tyre carcass to move, but leave the tyre bead itself more or less in the same setting, or even just break the bead seal, causing deflation. The former would lead to stretching and stress of the tire wall and bead, which in turn could cause failure of the tyre, leading to possible major or total damage to the aircraft. These markings are still used today, normally in yellow, and often at more than one point on each wheel/tyre.

Looks great Wayne. Wouldn't change a thing.

 

[Junkers88A1]

you beat me to it on the answer regadring the skidmark and yes..100% correct hehe
and as said,still in use today even on civilian airliners

the glass looks goooooooooooooood, no need to change a thing not to dark at all ( actually it should eb a tad darker..not lighter..but then again..that depends on the ligh one sees it in..
so its perfect pal

 

[Wayne Little]

Ok, Good!

On to the next stage....

 

[Junkers88A1]

[Wayne Little]

Sorry Guttorm lost my opportunity over the weekend, when I went to a local aircraft display...stayed way longer than I should have....getting the Undercarriage finalised for painting and assembly during this week so hopefully more real soon...

 

[Junkers88A1]

[Wayne Little]

here's a shot of all the bits'n'pieces....

 

[Junkers88A1]

the two small parts in the upper right corner is not actually needed but looking forward to see some progress on the legs i am sure you will make those look just perfect

 

[Airframes]

Phew! That's one job I don't have to do on my belly-landed example!

Lucky Sod!

Yeah, but I've got to replicate the bullet holes and crash damage, including the ejected dinghy!
