Ju-88 (all variants)

[Radleigh]

Hi all, I'm building a 32nd scale, and would love all details around the engine, inside, cockpit, rudded, inside panels etc!

Thanks in advance, Radleigh.

I'm not an expert by any means but there are a very large number of variants:
Main bomber type with Jumo 211 engines.
Ju 88 A-0
Pre-production aircraft.
Ju 88 A-1
Initial production variant. 895 kW (1,200 hp) Jumo 211B-1 engines
Ju 88 A-2
Jumo 211 G-1 engines.
Ju 88 A-3
Conversion trainer. Dual controls.
Ju 88 A-4
Improved variant. Long span wings. Modified with new bomb dropping equipment to produce a A-15 "special" bomber variant. RLM refused to authorise mass production, as the wooden bomb bay "bulge" caused too much drag and a thus a reduction in speed.
Ju 88B
Prototype with all-new fully glazed "stepless" crew compartment nose, developed into Ju 188.
Ju 88 B-0
10 pre-production aircraft with "stepless" fully glazed nose.
Ju 88C
Zerstörer, fighter-bomber and night fighter, based on A-series, but with sheet metal nose.
Ju 88 C-1
Planned fighter variant, powered by two BMW 801MA engines. Never built.
Ju 88 C-2
Initial production variant.
Ju 88 C-4
Heavy fighter, reconnaissance variant.
Ju 88 C-5
Improved heavy fighter variant.
Ju 88 C-6a
Improved Ju 88 C-5 variant.
Ju 88 C-6b
Night fighter variant.
Ju 88 C-6c
Night fighter variant.
Ju 88 C-7a
Intruder variant.
Ju 88 C-7b
Intruder variant.
Ju 88 C-7c
Heavy fighter variant.
Ju 88D
Long-range photo-reconnaissance variants, based on the Ju 88 A-4.
Ju 88 D-1
Long-range photo-reconnaissance variant based on Ju 88 A-4.
Ju 88 D-2
Long-range photo-reconnaissance variant based on Ju 88 A-5.
Ju 88 D-3
Tropicalized long-range photo-reconnaissance variant based on Ju 88 A-4.
Ju 88 D-4
Tropicalized long-range photo-reconnaissance variant based on Ju 88 A-5.
Ju 88 D-5
Ju 88G
Night fighter, new fuselage with A-series' ventral Bola gondola omitted, tail section from Ju 188, optional Schräge Musik.

Long-range maritime reconnaissance variant.
Ju 88 H-2

Ju 88P
Anti-tank and anti-bomber variant with single Bordkanone series 75 mm (2.95 in), 50 mm (2 in), or twin 37 mm (1.46 in) calibre cannon in ventral fuselage gun pod mount, which mandated removal of the Bola gondola under the cockpit section, conversion of A-series bomber. Produced in small series only, they were perceived as a failure for both anti-tank and anti-bomber use.

Ju 88R
C-series night fighters with BMW 801 engines.
Ju 88S
High-speed bomber series based on Ju 88 A-4 but with ventral Bola gondola omitted, smoothly-glazed nose and GM-1 nitrous-oxide boost, fastest of all variants.
Ju 88 S-0
Fitted with two BMW 801 G-2 engines, single 13 mm (.51 in) dorsal gun and 14 SD65 (65 kg/143 lb) bombs.

Fitted with two turbocharged BMW 801J engines, wooden bomb bay extension as used on the Ju 88 A-15.

Ju 88T
Three-seat photo-reconnaissance version of S-series.
Ju 88 T-1
Based on the Ju 88 S-1 but with bomb bays fitted for extra fuel of GM-1 tanks.

In particular where is your interest? I'm building the A-4 at present

Have a look at Wayne Little's build in the MTO Group Build in the modelling section, there are a number of detail shots of the real Ju88A-1 on which the Revell kit is based. Also, Guttorm, who is restoring the real one in Norway, and provided the pics for Wayne, has his own thread with details of the aircraft. His user name is Ju88A1 - what else?!

You'll find a lot of good info here: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/3-mto-north-africa/done-revell-1-32-ju88a-5-4d-mr-7-kg30-mto-group-build-20753.html

EDIT: Crossed posts with Terry. The links above are what Terry was referring to. Great minds.....

 

[Airframes]

Yep, it's Friday, and great minds think - pub !!

 

[Crimea_River]

I was thinking the same thing!

 

[mikewint]

warm beer! yuck!!!!!

 

[Airframes]

Not that warm, and it's real ale in my pub! (Unlike American beer, which is like making love in a canoe).
I think it's brewed under the trade name of 'Alzheimer' - as, after three or four pints, I can't remember anything !!!

 

[mikewint]

Hey, hey, we have ale on this side of the pond too.................and it's not warm and is 10 - 15 proof

 

[Airframes]

Ah, but if it's ale, then it shouldn't be cold - it'll kill it! Cool is acceptable, but not cold. That said, there are too may people here in the UK who drink make-believe 'foreign' lager, mainly chemical rubbish, and haven't a clue about real ales and beers.

 

[mikewint]

Airframes, maybe start a new thread?

 

[vikingBerserker]

I can't even drink Ginger Ale warm.

 

[Wayne Little]

I thought this thread had something to do with Ju88's.....

 

[parsifal]

Ginger ale....isn't that what you americans pass as beer? lollie water.....

 

[Capt. Vick]

Ginger ale pairs well with Chinese food.

 

[Wurger]

Yep ... and with the arteriosclerosis ..
