Thomas BischoffCount me in 👍. Spinner were probably showing Staffel colours (2. staffel white, 3rd yellow?) I can check my references when back home.

Andy BallThanks Villiers, I wish there were better on line references for the many subjects I wish to complete. This kit is practically building itself

Neil PatrickIn case it helps Andy, here's a link to my collection of colour Ju88 pics. pinterest.co.uk/newcareerguru/junkers-ju-88/. Cannot promise all are original colour, but I try to weed out the obviously colourised pics. I also have this kit on my shelf so will follow for sure. 🙂

Thomas BischoffI am still away from my books but found this on the net:tapatalk.com/groups/..markings-t54774.html

Moreno BaruffiniGreat reference Thomas! So, for die erste Staffel, the colour should be white!

Andy BallThe one thing I love about Scalemates is when you come to help a member with a query. So <<chapeaux>> Thomas and Moreno for your contributions!

Moreno BaruffiniWhait a moment Andy. First Staffel is white, but third is yellow.
In this case, your aircraft belongs to the third, right?

Andy BallI'm pretty much out the box on this one Moreno, so am assuming the yellow spinners are correct- and did they also have a white collar around the front of the nacelles too?

Andy BallCheers Alberto, it helps to have good material to work with in the first place

OlivierAfter what you achieved with the Sparviero, I have no issue with the midwife.

Andy BallGuy, it was car primer that said it was excellent for all types of plastic, and again cheap and in a spray can. Never again! Thanks for the comment too- I'm trying to tidy up these builds before the NY…., and you?…

Guy RumpI'm hoping to complete the Aichi Val and then attempt to finally finish the very slow progress thus far with the Caproni 311. The B-17 will be one for 2023 methinks. 🙂

RuiI have been watching this come together nicely since October and a couple of days ago I scored a copy of this kit off the bargain shelf of my local hobby store. I guess someone didn't like it and returned it, so my gain because this kit has a lot of nice detail for the price point; never mind that I got it for half price 😁 Hoping to see some more build photos. Cheers!

Andy BallRui, you'll love this kit! The only issue is the gondola fitting underneath I believe. I'm not there yet, but will post when I am.

Andy Ball@Ł 3 active: this, Sunderland, and start of Shturmovik. Il-62 is on hold as I scratch my head to know what to do with it….😂
29 December 2022, 12:27
Jan PetersLooking good Andy 👍🏻
Funny coincidence, a KG51 Me262 with the same code, 9kAl, crashed down in 1944 about a kilometre or two from were I live.
7 January 2023, 16:26
Andy BallSo the codes weren't specific to the planes? I'm fascinated by the fact that mainland Europeans have so much battle heritage on their doorsteps. We only have, mainly, crash sites (in our village and surroundings about 5 Lancasters 😞)
7 January 2023, 16:53
Villiers de VosVery nice progress. You have put lots of hard work into the details.
7 January 2023, 18:10
Jan PetersThe codes were specific to the units, the individual planes were identified by the werknummer, the production code.
7 January 2023, 18:54
Andy BallThanks Bernd, I've a few challenges with it if late….mainly my techniques to be honest.
10 January 2023, 07:43
Andy Ball@Moreno: highly likely, but not yours I guess!
@Bernd: I appreciate the comment, vielen danke
@Cuajete: again, thanks for the continued support throughout the many builds!!
16 January 2023, 21:12
Andy Ball@David, like you say, I'll keep it well away from the Sunderland to prevent any crowd trouble!
16 January 2023, 21:39
Neil PatrickCongrats Andy. This turned out looking fantastic. Moreover it looks exactly like how I think a 1940 Ju 88 would look. I say that because I've had an unhealthy obsession with RLM colours for a very long time! I like your 70/71 uppers. Dark and not too contrasty. A blueish tint on the 70 and an olive tint on the 71. Spot on. I think the 65 looks good too. A lot of refs and colour charts/chips show this as quite an intense light blue, but I don't see that in most photos and I think the greyer version you have looks much better. Your B&W pics suggest to me that you're about as close to authentic colours as it's possible to get today. 🙂

DaveLooks great. Looking though the photos and can see the journey to get this point. Nicely Done.
7 March 2023, 02:32
Andy Ball@Neil: thanks again for the look-see....I just use the Vallejo's out of the dropper bottles and weather...do you remember our conversation about the FW-200 Condor?, the 2 greens- 72/73- on that are so so similar, but I'm guessing need to be right and not 70/71 as Trumpeter suggested.
@Dave: the journey was reasonably straight forward, Revell have a good kit here.
@Villiers, Alec, J35J and CaptGPF appreciate the visit and your comments

Andy BallP.S. I have added the "Ladewagen LWC 500/ IX with SC250 bomb" which is a sweet little PUR-PE addition, and I'll add to a diorama one day (wen I'm retired and have plenty of time to do more!)....
21 August 2023, 14:08
Andy BallGrazie Roberto! And may I ask why more Italians don't drive Alfa Giulias?….as they're a credit to all Italian car building!!!
21 August 2023, 19:51
Moreno BaruffiniConcerning. Alfa Romeo I'll wait for Roberto's answer, then I'll will add my point 😉
Spoiler: I'll strictly prefer Lancia
21 August 2023, 19:54
Andy BallOh Moreno!, my poster car in the 70s was never a Countach…but an Alitalia Stratos….one day one day…or a 2000HF. Currently Giulia Veloce - waiting for a QV or Maserati Gran Cabrio…
21 August 2023, 20:00
CaptGPFyou're really dating yourself when you said Countach! And in a way, I guess I am too! 😱
22 August 2023, 04:51
Andy BallNowt wrong with the 70s….the cars were so individual compared to now
6 September 2023, 07:15
Andy BallThanks David Frank!! Is it the model or the discussions about Italian cars!!?
