JohnB Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I've decided to start another '110 NF model from Eduard. A little bit different from the 1st one but still quite similar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 I just received this Profipack kit and was surprised its different from the one I just finished. A different kit number from the other. 8206 on the first kit and 8208 on this one. It also has different decals and radar aerials plus parts for another 110 a/c. I didn't notice the different kit number when I ordered it from Scale Hobbyist but I'm pleased with the kit and am ready to get with the program! 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denders Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I don’t remember the designations, even after having read about them in a Ju-88 book a couple months ago, but the different radar antenna are different radar equipment. The radar range is different. The first iteration of this model had the antenna elements vertical. Then the Brits introduced “Window”, dropped aluminum strips. The Germans then found that rotating the elements 45 degrees, like in the second picture, lessened the effect of “Window”. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 After looking over the available color schemes for this kit I think I'll change my mind from the one I had originally planned to do to this one. CHANGE OF PLAN.....I did some test fitting on the extremely delicate antennas and, after MUCH fiddling and cussing, I broke some of the little aerial ends off while trying to get them straight.🙃 I had my doubts about those aerials in the first place. Now it's back to the original plan for the one marked C9 * IK. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already years in the stash with conversion kit in 1/32 I built that Revell 1/32 kit many years ago. If I remember correctly it was a pretty good kit. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, being glossy, there is no need for a overcoat of clear gloss. 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
