Dragon 1/48 Ju 88A-4

July 28, 2024 · in Aviation · · 18 · 373

Junkers from KG51 took part in the bombing of Russia. At some stage, night bombing missions were initiated. The model depicts an aircraft that had temporary black paint over the RLM 65 light blue and national insignias.
the Jumo 211 engine exposed was made from an Aires kit with scratch parts to complement the resin details.

  2. An interesting paint scheme and lots of good work on that opened-up engine.

  3. Outstanding work on this old kit, Rafi. Your detailed engine really sets this build apart, but there are so many other nice touches to admire, like the 'new' housing for the Lofte bombsight, and the subtle painting and weathering that mark this bird as a long-surviving veteran. Congratulations!

  4. A real beauty, Rafi @blackmopane
    The black over RLM65 is a very interesting scheme, I was not aware this was done.
    It looks definitely like it has been applied in the field, nice work on that.

  5. Great build on that 88. I like your black field applied camo.

  6. I love the black-out work you did on the fuselage and undersides - a great realistic feel.

  7. Excellent job on this challenging kit, Rafi! Superb painting and weathering and fantastic work on the exposed engine!

  8. Great looking Dragon kit. The added engine detail brings it up a notch as well. - Cheers

  9. Congratulations! Awesome build! I am in the process of completing the painting on my 1/48 Dragon Ju88A-4 this week! This is great motivation to push me to finish.
