    Interesting things you can do with a set of those, esp. after a few beers

    Yes, yes, and I can order from a UK shop that does E-marketing. I'm waiting for a USA distributer to get them to order through my LFGS, or in this case train store.

    This past weekend I was at the Fall In convention (HMGSEast) in Lancaster Pa. One dealer had a number of Zveda kits. I bought the Hs 129 and PO 2 in 1/144. He had the He 111 and
    Ju 88 but I didn't get either. The Hs 129 is a good looking model. It is on my bench for Nov.

    I see them listed on The Warstore web site, but at the moment out of stock. They are listed with the 1/144 models. Damn, I saw 3 at Fall In and passed them by.

    At least it seems a bit more promising for you all now.

    Just had an E-mail from Leisure Games to say that they have dispatched a set of Revolution in the Skies cards, so that is my JU 88s sorted. Also looks as if they have a pack left.

    Size apart, is there a historical enough scheme that can be done with the decals provided?

    From what I could quickly find, early in the war, Ju-88s had very simple markings. Where these decals are all black, at least one of the letters should be colored to mark unit (unless it hails from the black squadron?) A stripe was also sometimes used, but that is easily handled with tape and paint.

    Mine will see use eventually for battle of Britain and France scenarios.

    Not to , decals are labelled 1/144, original artwork on the box is 1/200, some here have measured 1/225, and I see it labeled at my FLGS's distributor as 1/220...
    AIM has three variants, so I may give one of his a whirl.

    I've got three of these and when nicely painted, like mine are, they still look good on the table.

    Great stuff Reg. I like how you left the cockpit clear, and were still able to fit it over the fiddly guns.
