Dragon 1/48 Ju 88G-6

August 22, 2024 · in Aviation · · 25 · 422

At some stage during the entry to service of the Ju 88G series the Germans thought that it would be advantageous to hide the development of new aircraft types with a silhouetted camouflage depicting the C version tail. The effectiveness of the paintwork during night operations is unknown.

  1. Excellent job on the challenging Dragon kit, Rafi!
    Painting and weathering are fantastic as always!

  2. A very nice build, Rafi @blackmopane
    Not sure either about the effectiveness either of this 'hiding'.
    Well done.

  3. Nice work on as "difficult kit" - great paintwork.

  4. Lovely build Rafi. I have not got round to building my Dragon 88's because of the known fit issues. But we love a challenge and you have done a super job.

  5. Well done. Paint job is great...especially like the look of the upper color.

  6. G'day Rafi (@blackmopane),
    Nicely done.
    As for this being a difficult kit, I built one of these back in 2009.


    As I recall, the main issues were with the wing tips and cockpit to fuselage join.
    Nothing that can't be handled with a little fore warning.
    You have delt with them flawlessly.
    Liked!

  7. Excellent build and finishing. False tail paint came out perfect.

  8. Amazing looking JU88, Rafi.
    That false tail paint looks real nice, as does the whole build.

  9. Well done, love the paintwork!

  10. Well done. I really like these fading Luftwaffe camos. And you just nail it.

  11. Looks great! I'd seen images of that "camouflauge" treatment and always wondered about the efficacy of it.

  12. Nice work, Rafi.
