Could R4+ET be the machine?

Looks like it Jan. It has the 21 victory tally shown in the pic I posted but I would question the camo scheme shown.
Also, if our OP wants to model the aircraft as it appeared on the night that his uncle was shot down, I would suggest that it would have likely carried 13 victory tallies, given that his uncle's Lanc was victim No. 14. Thanks for the link showing his victory list.

Yes, not to say illigal in some countries
Most likely it because it illegal to display in Germany.
Oh, and welcome to the forum, a great place wo while away the work day...
Yes it is. In some countries the printing of swastika is considered as the popularization of the nazi symbol. As a result , such behaviour is forbidden there. To be allowed to trade there , many decal manufacturers print the marking split into a couple of pieces. In the case a modeller has to put them together while applying on models. For decal instructions either dots or squares are used.

Many thanks to all for the help on this one.
Now another! What would be the best kit to use and what are the best decals?
I would also like to build a Mk1 Lancaster in 207 squadron RAF markings but the information on colour scheme on that is much easier to come by with the exception of the colour of the identity codes. I've read somewhere that it could be white or grey. Does anyone have info on that?

There is another book, originally printed in German but also in English with a forward by a British Spitfire pilot and this is called "LAURELS FOR PRINZ WITTGENSTEIN".

First you need to decide on scale. A 1/48 Ju88C-6 is pretty large and if you want to keep the Lancaster in the same scale, then you are looking at even larger. 1/72 may be more reasonable but I don't know the best of what's available.

I found this information on another site;
In the following photograph Prince Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein appears next to a primitive Junkers Ju 88, whose tail indicates the 29 aircraft which he had destroyed in that time, circa May 1942. His record of 83 aircraft destroyed during night time could be surpassed only after his death.

The date is wrong. He scored his FIRST victory in May 1942. Your uncle's plane was his 14th in July 1942. This picture is later than the one I posted showing 21 tallies and appears to be a different aircraft (note the mottle finish vs the splinter scheme on on the pic I posted).

Yet again thanks for your help. I'll do it in splinter camo with 13 tallies and the early radar.
