Looking good Clave. So, this project of yours with all this profiles, are you commissioned to do them for some upcoming book?

 

[Clave]

Yep, the 'Big Project' is a book, but I can't say much more than that right now.

There will be 3 views of all of these that I posted recently, as well as the usual suspects, Spitfire, Hurricane, Defiant etc.. there's a lot more to do, but basically I will be showing 1/3 of what I'm working on (side views only) and then not the actual book content ones, which will be different units/versions...

Busy, busy..

I'm going through a modification sequence right now, and I'll be fixing these issues shortly:

Cockpit:

A-1 has a 'low-back' canopy with single rear-facing gun...
A-4 (early) has a 'low-back' canopy with a different mount for the rear gun...
A-4 (late) has the 'high-back' canopy with twin gun mounts...

Engines:

A-4 has an extended bulge below the engine and different exhausts to the A1

Wings:

A-4 has longer wings than the A-1...

Tail:

A-4 (late) has a modified rudder...

The others I have finished - starting early with an A-1:

Ju-88 A-1 of 7/KG51 Luftwaffe, 1940.

Ju-88 A-4 of 1/LeLv44 Finnish Air Force, 1944.

Ju-88 A-4 of 1/KG1 Luftwaffe, 1943.

Ju-88 A-4 of I/KG26 Luftwaffe, 1943.

Just working on the project now, but I'll also be doing some night-fighting 88s too...

Beautiful work Clave! You should take up doing decals as well.....(hint, hint) I'm sure that they'd be top notch, just like your profiles!

Come to think of it, haven't seen Guttorm here yet, which is weird, '88's and all that!

Are decals hard to do? They don't *look* that difficult...

I usually end up drawing something - or at least drawing over something to make a decal or mark that I can use in Illustrator...

...here's my re-drawn and original JG233 files for example:
