These are my Ju-88's that will harass my carrier in my Mediterranean Campaign.
They're AIM (both planes and decals) and they were very easy to paint.

Those are great too.
Mine will be in Italian colours when I get onto it.

Italians will be my SM.79 when my wallet gives me a go...
Now I have looked at the Italian scene more closely I think mine may also be done as Germans.

Cool! Can't hardly wait!
These are great!
The Italian marks went so well.
Mmm... Must resist... Must...
Way to go Rob. Superb JU88, can't wait to see it in action over Malta or a juicy convoy.
See you on the Dark Side......
Absolutely stunning, Cartas!! Well deserved REP!
All the 88s here are great! Now my AIM list gets longer.....
You have made a smashing job of those Cartas.

Great work OldGuy59, I will definitely use your card to one of my Ju88 shown above.
I would appreciate two more cards for the remaining two (winter + desert)
These are perfect for me, Mike. Thanks.
Your work of filling in the WWII gaps is of inestimable value Mike.
Thanks.

These planes are marked as Kampfgeschwader 3 "Blitz" (KG 3) planes. That KG flew in the Mediterranean, but I can't find any Ju-88s in their markings for that period. Do-17s were used by them for Yugoslavia and Crete, but not Ju-88s.
If cards were to appear, what unit should be on them?

Great planes guys! A SM.79 on german colour must be good... Veryyyy good!
Great cards Mike yet again Mike.
where does the K deck come from, and what does the * signify?
I have two Zvezda 88s waiting in the paint shop.
at a tenth of the price of Ares' He111, I may get a few more!
Beautiful, Rob! Just beautiful this Ju-88.
Thanks Quim.
I was looking for something a bit different this time and then after weeks of messing about, found one of the most successful Jags over Malta had this quite by chance.

Nice planes here, comrades.
Just ordered 2 Ju88s and will visit AA for the bases soon.
Good work everybody!

Latest versions of cards:

Two for Cartas:
PS: It would really be nice if people would post their squadron/pilot info so I wouldn't have to rummage the internet to find info for these cards. Just saying it really slows the process down. And I get it wrong, sometimes.

Those are superb aircraft cards Mike.
Do you happen to have done any management cards?
As far as units are concerned, unless my pilots are specials like Nigel, Ronnie, etc. for the Bulldogs, I prefer to have anonymous aircraft so that they can be used in any scenario without being attatched to a specific pilot or unit. The Brits for Malta being an exception to that rule.

I haven't considered management cards for Ju-88s, as I thought it fell into the category of Heavy Fighter. In the Dawn of War thread, I thought I read that they wouldn't have management cards.
However, I understand the desire. The Ju-88 has a crew of four? Were they interchangeable? What are you looking for?

I don't know much about the crew but would expect Pilot, Navigator/ bomb aimer, and two gunners, fore and aft. If they were interchangeable I don't know. Mayhap some of the experten could shed light on this for us.

Rob,
The thread I referred to above is this one: Rain of Destruction - What was meant to be.
Surprisingly, I don't see you on that thread.
The specific post I linked to was Andrea's answer to the planned release and the two categories of planes. This is the basis of why I haven't done management cards for all the planes I've been doing. Admittedly, the Beaufighter and Mosquito are two-man crews, so no real need for a management card. The Ju-88 has a crew of four, so perhaps it needed a management card? Example cards are on the Rain of Destruction post. I will probably be doing all of them, eventually. The Ju-88 was not in that group, so no "official" direction on the management card issue. We could make it up, if desired.

I did actually do post 77 on that thread Mike, and although I have painted up two Ju 52s, they are on my can do anything with them till a card is out list, and I get Keith to produce a base for them, so had gone off my radar.
Thanks for pointing me back that way.
I will have a look at the earlier posts when I get time.

Thanks, Mike. This one is perfect for me. You rock. REP for service above and beyond duty!

It's a Ju 88 A-4 in 1/200 from Zvezda. The antennas are buildt with steel wire and parts of the bombs from the model kit.
Here you can see the cannons and machine guns:
1x 20-mm-Kanone MG FF/M und 3x MG 17 in Rumpfbug
2x 20-mm-Kanonen MG-FF/M in der Bodenwanne (gunpod under fuselage)
I cut off the mounts for the bombs under the inner wings and added flame extinguishers at the left and right of the engines.

Now I only have to wait for my AA order of Ju88 bases.
I have another model kit and will build a BoB Ju88, too.
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
This Ju-88 looks fantastic Sven! It was used as a night fighter?
Thanks
Nick
Great looking plane Sven. Too bad no one will see it since it flys at night!
All hand painted, Karl.

Nice one.
You're right with the engine exhaust - the exhaust pipes end under the wings.
Just details, but the nose of the plane is a metal one.
Maybe we can a a third box for the "Schräge Musik" and display it with a "forward firing" Schräge Musik token from the WGS Rules & Accessoire Pack?
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
When I Slide to the Dark Side, I will definitely be doing a couple of JU-88s! It's probably my favorite Axis bomber, and I love the nightfigther version, Sven! Definitely on the to-do list. A:: of these planes look wonderful, fellows!
All the best,
Matt
WoW Great cards love the camo must paint some Ju88 to match these cards
Thanks for all the hard work Kev
