Differences between Ju-88A-4 and Ju-88D-2


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

These are the instructions for the D-1 kit, so you can see if the same parts are in the A-4 kit.

Hi Dave

Thank you for your reply and the link to the D version instructions.  I've just crossed referenced the instructions to the Revell kit (reboxing of the ICM A Version):

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
