This is my second
submission to ARC - and yet another 1/32 Ju 88A-1 from Revell.
I built this kit
straight from the box without any modifications in the model itself, but I used
Eduard's photo etch parts - here in Germany distributed by Revell as a complete
set for interior an exterior.
Building up the
Cockpit is quite a lot of work. More than 120 pieces have to be glued in place -
the photo etch parts not mentioned! The overall quality is really great, but
there are some drawings in the manual where you can only guess where you have to
place a part.
Wings, airframe an
rudders also match really good. By the way - the poor fit of the canopy is the
result of my grubby hands, but it's no damage to the model. I just made the
canopy removable 'cause I want to show the cockpit whenever it's possible.
Taking the photos, I didn't pay attention and forgot to adjust the canopy -
that's all.

All
painting was done using Tamiya's acrylic paint. For weathering, I used pastell
chalks. I also applied some highlighting an filtering with airbrush.
Unfortunately, only a little bit of all this work can be seen, because sun was
hiding when I took the photos.
I
must admit that this is one of the best Revell-kits I've ever built - but it's
not shake-and-bake. Like mentioned above, the manual isn't completely clear in
all points and several parts need some sanding to fit in place - especially in
the nose section. But this one was a big fun ... and now, I will slaughter the
big 1/32 Revell Heinkel He 111 P-1, which is already waiting!
