STORMO! Forums

Hello Squadron Comrades, hope all is well.

Looks like Revell-USA is going to come out with a 1/32 scale JU-88 which will be a lot cheaper than the Revell-Germany one. I'm thinking of investing in one so I can convert into a radial engine version. The 1/32 BMW engines "should" not be a problem to get (from a couple of FW-190 kits / yes, I'm looking for some to cannibalize if anybody has any they want to sacrifice-LOL). The problem of course will be finding the right cowlings for them.
By the way Vince & others who replied, Thanks for the info on the clear-coats.

So they will probably re-issu the A1 and you need a A4 ! Sounds like more than two cowlings to replace! Good luck! Here is what I did with L'arsenal conversion set to have a A4.

Wow! Incredible.

I have seen some great models in my 75 years. But this is just fantastic. Would love to see more of you work.

Thank you very much for your appreciation Vincent, but alas I do not own this model anymore as I did built it in a display purpose for my good fellow Jacques Druel owner of L'Arsenal. He will probably bring it with him at scalemodel world in Tellford this year. Regards, Jean.

What a Great Job you did on the JU-88!
No doubt I will have a project in-store for me converting the future Revell-USA 1/32 JU-88 (unless of course there is an after market radial/cowling conversion / detail kit).
On another topic, I noticed in the Squadron Mail Order catalog that SMER has reissued / boxed (new box art) the Fiat G.55 and Macchi-200.

Ciao Joseph

AIMS produce BMW conversions for the Ju 88, I think there were slight variations, a G-1, with a Ju 188 F on it's way.

I'd recommend contacting John about the requirements for your project, he really knows a thing or two about the Ju 88!
