FINISHED

After nearly three month, yes three months i have finished. I cant do any more. Some of the purists out there would say i could polish the windows, but she is meant to be back from a raid so she will look dirty.
This was thee most difficult and frustration build i have done but i think i did a above average job.
What do you think?

Well done lovely! She's fantastic!

[purplefan]

Im glad i can now move on. I am going to do a car for my next build. A BMWi8.

[Suzi]

Look forward to seeing that one being made!

Brilliant Purple the engines have a well worn look as though they've done some service rather than come straight from the factory.

Thanks mike. I am still not sure about weathering and how to do it properly it never quite looks right. I saw some old photographs of a JU88 and looking at the photos the engines were pretty oily and the paint had warped and bubbled because of the heat, so, that is what i tried to project on the model.
The Camo was a bit dark and my shading did not come through properly but i think she looks like she has been through a few raids. I am going to give that kit a 6 out 10. Do not recommend it for a beginner as there are lots of small parts and stencils to put on.

I think you have done a good job

It does look good from the picture. And you are good at it Purple. The only thing I noticed and I hope you don't mind me saying is that the emblem at the back is not at the right angle. The tip should be pointed up more.

I have a real interest in german subs from that time period. So I did see it before. I hope you don't mind me writing this.

Well spotted welf. Unfortunately i cant change it as i have sealed the decals in with a clear coat. It was a mistake i never noticed.

[Suzi]

I think only an expert would notice
