Andrew Maverick Taylor Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Traditionally I'm not a builder of WWII era aircraft or particularly German subjects but I'm quite taken by the thought of building Revell's rebox of the ICM 1/48 JU-88A-4 but I don't like the markings in the box and have seen a number of other schemes that interest me but they are mostly Ju-88D versions. Can someone give any brief pointers on the most obvious differences between a Ju-88A versions and a Ju-88D version and can a D version be build from the ICM A kit?

Dave Williams Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) The D version is the recon version. There are usually camera ports in the rear fuselage or in the rear bomb bay. This article explains it. https://www.scalespot.com/reviews/kits/ju88d1-icm/review.htm These are the instructions for the D-1 kit, so you can see if the same parts are in the A-4 kit. https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/4/5/3/1191453-75-instructions.pdf Edited April 5, 2021 by Dave Williams Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've just crossed referenced the instructions to the Revell kit (reboxing of the ICM A Version): https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/4/6/8/1073468-51-instructions.pdf The kit sprues are identical but Revell have just blanked out all the D Version parts not used. Basically I just have to use the ICM D Version instructions instead of the Revell ones and get the D version decals of my choice. Regards Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
