Engineless Dragon 1/48 Ju 88C-4

September 14, 2024 · in Aviation · · 8 · 191

During late 1941, Junkers Ju 88C-4 aircraft of I Gruppe/NJG 2. were transferred from the Netherlands to North Africa. After a short service in the Mediterranean, some aircraft did not make it back to Europe.

I used 's Ju 88C as a platform to highlight the intricate details of engine bulkheads that are revealed once the engines are removed. Aires resin set was used for the engine area.

  1. Excellent result, Rafi! Excellent painting and weathering, too! Very nice idea to build the model without the engines!

  2. G’day Rafi (@blackmopane),
    Nicely done as usual.
    Was this intended for a diorama or just for something different?
    Liked!

  3. Very nice build, Rafi @blackmopane
    This would indeed be a nice subject for an engine maintenance diorama.

  4. Interesting to see the detail! I like that night-stalker camo as well. Well done!
