Here is a Junkers Ju88S-3 of I / KG66. This is a conversion using the Revell of Germany Ju 88A-4 kit. The engines have been changed using castings of the Jumo 213s from a Hasegawa kit. The gondola under the nose has been deleted and the opening plated over. Transparencies were replaced with Falcon vacuform parts.
This aircraft carries an interesting spotted camouflage on the upper surfaces and a meander “squiggle” on the lowers. All markings were deleted except for the individual aircraft designator “B”, which is repeated on the fuselage sides and the leading edges of the wings. There are three photographs of this aircraft taken after it came to grief in a creek which provide excellent documentation of her unusual paint job.
Very nice. Didn’t someone, somewhere do a 72nd scale dio off of those photos? I don’t think it was Steve Hustad, but it was similar to his work.

I don’t remember seeing one but it certainly is diorama bait. There is a picture of a very nice diorama with a Ju 52 on the IPMS site which has a similar ambiance.
