Matchbox Ju188

Started in 2011 as a hack to rebuild proficiency with the airbrush and test some techniques

My first try in masking Luftwaffe greenhaouse canopies with Tamiya tape, worked better then expected

Overall ipression is marred by Matchbox 'trenchdigger' panel lines, but from a distance, it still looks like a Ju188!

Ready for fitting the small bits

Put the canopy and the props on for a photo shooting. Starts looking like a Ju188 🙂

Yes, great work in bringing out the best of this older more simplistic kit. Always good to see a Matchbox kit well executed.😉

Thank you, guys. Should be ready within the next few weeks. Landing gear is on, resin wheels and small parts painted and ready for final assembly 🙂

Started as a hack to test pre-shading and german 'glass-house' canopy masking. OK for the first try but there's room for improvement 🙂
And no, I'll do nothing about the cockpit 🙂
