Thread: Ju-88 AIM

  1. #1

    Default Ju-88 AIM

    These are my Ju-88's that will harass my carrier in my Mediterranean Campaign.

    They're AIM and they were very easy to paint.

    Arghhhh! Awesome! Top universal, multipurpose warplane of the war. Good choice Quim! Now get the proper stats and take off!
    In Mediterranean theater they can be confronted with Skalski's Circus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Fighting_Team) a unit i am just reading a book of.
    On 28th of March, 1943, Pilots Skalski and Horbaczewski scored one Ju 88 apiece.

    Well painted and decaled!

    Thanks, Thomas and Carlos.
    I'm using the Me-110 bases.
    Their sizes are almost identical.

    Thanks, Alastair.

    Carlos, you have to paint it. Two tones of blue and the job is done.

    Quim is a very skillful canopy painter, so he uses two shades of blue. I am a rather lazy painter, but assure you: one layer of blue and the canopy looks quite fine from a tabletop distance . Especially when you have a glass of porto before the sortie

    Yes and I use a Tamiya "Smoke" enamel X19 I find that this is not to bright yet it does make the glass stand out.

    I must admit that the blue works very well. I have been using a light grey and then highlighting with a spot of gunmetal light. I will have to try the blue.
