1/48 Hasegawa Ju-88G6c

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!
