It's a
treat to see the variety of camo schemes on this decal sheet. Two are in my favourite Russian winter
camo scheme.....one is in desert tan camo and you can't overlook the wild
aircraft in the wave camo. Not that there's anything wrong with the
standard green/green camo of RLM 70, 71 and 65, but the winter or the
Mediterranean Theatre paint schemes do stand out more and the wave camo
will stop people in their tracks if you build one for your next model
show. One of the aircraft (#7) is fitted with radar antenna.
The
instructions are beautifully printed in glossy full colour with numbered
arrows showing which decals go where. Each aircraft is shown from
one angle and there is generic colour drawings showing 4 views of the Ju
88 which will assist in camo layout and decal placement for national
insignia etc. There is also 5 photos showing the various defensive
guns used on the Ju 88.....this plane was hunted so the defensive guns
kept being modified to try to deal with the aerial threats the Ju 88 had
to counter. Thankfully the instruction sheets do mention what type
of canopy and defensive guns were fitted to each or these aircraft and
even mentions one with a field modified nose glazing and whether the dive
brakes were removed or not etc. Also included is colour samples on
the instruction sheets to help the less informed modellers figure out the
various RLM colours.
The
decals print by Cartograf come on 3 small decal sheet on the 1/72 sample
before me. They are clearly and crisply printed and appear to be of
the highest quality.
This is a very well done
decal sheet with good variety and well worth purchasing.
