Dragon JU-88 G6 "Nachtjager" old kit from 1991

[pt109]

Hi Guys,

I thought I'd start a wingy thingy here my first airplane since around 2005 or so.....Tamiya's F117 stealth and what a great kit it was!

This one's quite an oldie but goodie to me....simple outa the box except for the seat belts, none were provided in the kit. I will have to scratch those...

Sprue plastic was kinda soft in those days from DML and a lot of pin holes to fill and a few sinkers as well... But that's par for the course just trying to see what I can do with an oldie.

So a few teaser photos:





Parts for step 1 come from sprue A



Shot at another angle....



Step 1 assembly...



And the parts except a few so I can sand all the pin holes and sinkers...man that part in the middle of photo had 11 sink holes!

Seats look kinda bare so I'll use some Milliput to make some cusions and a head rest for the pilot...3 crewmen in this bird but none included in the kit. 

Well, that's all for tonight...I will update as regularly as I can given my limited bench er table time haha!

Thanks for any input and interest....

Cheers,   Paul

Good choice! Still have two of them in my stash. Be prepared to get the separate wingtips attached to each wing half first to prevent nasty gaps.

Hi Guys,

Sorry didn't mean to be so long in replying....thanks for the interest should be interesting.

This one's on hold for awhile as I will be ordering Eduard's PE for this one. One is the colored PE interior set, it looks really good too!

Cheers,   Paul
