This is Hasegawa's
reboxing of Dragon's ubiquitous 1/48 Ju-88 kit. It was built more or less
straight from the box. The only additions/replacements made was adding
simple Tamiya tape seatbelts and replacing the decals with those from a spare
Aeromaster sheet. The nose art was from a Koster decal sheet.

The kit went
together quite well except for a few areas, specifically the wingroots and
around the belly gunpod. The optional resin radar array was used instead
of the more common antler style. The painting was done using a basecoat of ModelMaster
lightblue. The squiggles were freehand airbrushed using an Aztec
airbrush, custom Tamiya paint mixes, and a lot of cursing! The kit was
built for the ARC Twin-engine group build. Overall a satisfying project!
