a liitle less conversation and a littlebit more action please..

lol

 

[Lucky13]

Yup! Close to painting as we stalled to a halt here. Just need masking for the canopy, well, and find out which one to use, (Eduard?) also to figure out the right style of the camouflage....

 

[Wayne Little]

Oh?...I thought there was some action going on here.......

 

[Njaco]

Did you pay for the 5 minutes or the full half hour?

Ju-88C from 5. KG40 coded (F8+EX) France 1942

This Ju-88C-6 of I./KG76 based at Catania in Sicily during early parts of 1943. It has a dark green (probably RLM 71) sprayed over its pale blue (RLM 65) and finished in a 'scribble' pattern. The white tail band was carried by most units operating in the Mediterranean theatre.

Junkers Ju-88C-6 (R4+HH) of 1./NJG2, Catania, early 1942 Although camouflaged in a dull, overall matt black scheme, the overall appearance of this aircraft was relieved by the white of the national markings, the grey 77 code, the white fuselage band and the yellow identification panels under the engines. The tail was marked with three victory bars and although this aircraft is believed to have been flown by Oblt. Gerhard Bohme in early 1942, he had only two confirmed victories at that time: a Blenheim, destroyed on 17 April 1940 when he was flying with 1./ZG 76, and a Whitley on 3 January 1941. Note that although the whole nose is covered in the accompanying photograph, what appears to be a Nachtjagd badge shows faintly though the material and has therefore been shown in the profile.

Junkers Ju-88 C-6 of 5./NJG2, probably photographed in late 1943, clearly showing the aerials for the FuG 202 'Lichtenstein' BC radar on the nose. The night fighter versions of the Ju-88 C series were originally introduced relatively slowly due to limited availability of the radar and were later replaced by the Ju-88G which began to appear in mid-1944. Given the period in which this machine was photographed, the full code would almost certainly have been R4+GN, although in 1944 the Geschwader's operational code was reversed to '4R'

This late production Ju-88C-6 Nachjager of 8./NJG2 was flown by Hauptmann Tober during 1943-44.

A crash-landed Ju-88C-6 clearly showing the 'Schrage Musik' installation of two MG151/20 cannon protruding from the fuselage. This particular aircraft, R4+LS, WNr. 750811, was being flown on a daylight mission on 30 January 1944 by Hptm. Friedrich Tober of III./NJG2 when it was attacked and shot down by a P47. Tober's machine crashed in a field south-west of Hardenberg, as a result of which it was written off.

This crash-landed Junkers Ju-88C-4 was coded R4+MT and belonged to 9./NJG2.The aircraft was photographed in the summer of 1942, and although the unit was at that time stationed at Gilze-Rijen in Holland, it is believed these photographs were taken after the machine made a forced landing in an orchard or farm in Belgium. Note the straw spread over the wings and the camouflage netting placed over the rear fuselage to conceal the white of the Balkenkreuz.

This Ju-88C-6, WNr. 751065, was coded 7J+QK and originally belonged to 2./NJG102. The aircraft was photographed at Copenhagen-Kastrup in May 1945, but as 2./NJG102 had been disbanded in February, it is thought that this machine had been transferred to another unit but not repainted with its new owner's tactical code. The camouflage is clearly a hybrid scheme resulting from the mating of a replacement rear fuselage, finished in the standard 70/71 mid-war colors, to a nose section finished in the same scheme but with a Wellenmuster overspray in 76. Note the individual aircraft letter 'Q' in th e 2. Staffel color of red.

Cool pics BP!

 

[Wayne Little]

Cool pics BP!

Agreed, good stuff!

 

[Junkers88A1]

sooooooooooooo--where is it ? the model you are making? hehe

 

[Lucky13]

You're working on it, at the museum buddy!

 

[Junkers88A1]

hehe

well..that is a scale 1:1.i was wondering about your 1:32

Udo's code on his C-6 is : 5K+RT, werke nummer 360379 of 9.(Eis.)/KG 3.... Since it's an C-6 and looking at some of the plans posted by Dr Wojtek earlier, I think that I'll take the risk and give it dual MG's at the of the canopy.


"14(Eis.)./KG 3 was formed at Flensburg/Scleswig-Holstein (ex-9(Eis.)./KG 1). 14(Eis.)./KG 3 was a highly specialized train-busting Staffel. the crews were specially trained to fly day or night between 100' and 1,000' along railway lines and bomb and /or shoot up trains, railway stations and marshalling yards. They were also used at very low altitude against tank concentrations. The Staffel was always in the East and was equipped all or partially with cannon-armed Ju 88Ps."

Standing among a large or any number of tanks and see a swarm of '88's coming down, I'd start to run like if I was chased by the devil himself!
Those could ruin anyone's good day!

Still trying to figure what the top camouflage looks like, would it be acceptable to use the standard '88 upper camouflage?

 

[Lucky13]

Did a bit of fiddling on the C-6 today....

 

[B-17engineer]

Nice work!!!!

 

[Lucky13]

Thanks H!

 

[B-17engineer]

After I get a few single engine aircraft built I'd like to try a Ju-88. Looks like a very interesting aircraft!

 

[Lucky13]

It sure is Harrison, it sure is!

 

[Airframes]

Looks rather spiffing old bean! Bit of a cosy cockpit in the old '88 wasn't it? Certainly not a lot of room to go for a stroll!

 

[Lucky13]

Thanks awfully old boy, jolly decent of you to say so what! One has to agree, not much room to stretch out....
