Dragon 1/48 Ju 88P-1

Post by silentbob33 »

Next on the bench in Dragon's Ju 88P-1 in 1/48. I've had this in the stash for awhile, and my 4 year old daughter saw it and has been begging me to build it for a few months. I figured this is as good a time as any.

I've done a little bit of research, and I can't find any actual pictures of the plane that the kit has markings for, 5K+LP of KG.3. Everything I can find shows that plane was a Ju 88A-4. Also, every picture of a Ju 88P-1 I can find shows them as a part of Versuchskommando Für Panzerbekämpfung. If anyone has any additional info I'd appreciate it. Anyways, here's a picture of the boxart.

You're in luck! I just cut open the bags. Trying to figure out Dragon's instructions though...

Heh... Dragon instructions. Are you lost yet? Their instruction guides is like reading hieroglyphics. You’ll get the hang of it soon enough.
Like Lyle asked... done yet? :giggles: :giggles: :giggles:

I was thinking the Dragon Ju-88s where from another companies molds but after a quick look on scalemates this is from the Dragon 1993 kit, this version being released in 2006. I built a promodeler boxing of this about 9 years ago unfortunately it didn't survive the move, I also have the original 1993 night fighter in the stash. I'll be closely following!

Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

IIRC this was a one-off. Seems that when testing this 75mm gun the wooden prop blades shattered due to the blast...
