Back when I was having troubles with my Me410 canopy, I went hat in hand to beg to buy a vac canopy from the only folks who made them, MPM Models. I didn't want to buy the whole interior set, just the precious canopy. I somewhat desperately offered to make my next build one of their kits. Not only did they give me a couple of canopies, they graciously offered me any kit in their catalog. Wow! The choice was not easy- they make a ton of cool stuff- but the Planet Models Ju 388 had long been tempting me- it was fate! A Bomber Command group build at Modelers Alliance is a happy coincidence- and means I've got one year to make the best of it!

Well, MPM- a promise made is a promise kept- here's my take on your marvelous kit- with Fritzi, Hannah and friends along for the ride!

WOOO HOOOOOOOOO !!

Another Fritzi and Hannah epic journey, dragging Chuk along with them.

This is gunna be awesome

A great plane and a great way to present it! I will watch this one closely.

Ahhh, another superlative build from Chuck!

The 388 is a very sexy aircraft. I will watch your progress with great interest...

Chuck strikes back! Two paraller builds from California to follow...

Great.. I enjoyed every single build so far. Have high hopes for this one as well. Chuck, art is simply an understatement of your work... It is quite educational and inspiring as well. Have you ever thought to make a pdf edition or booklet of your builds for us mortals? I would love to have it! It is wonderful to have such modeling mentor... will stay tuned, definitely!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing this develope Chuk, great to have you and the girls back building.
Millie says Have a great new year.
PM on the way.

That's a really interesting & beautiful aircraft that I hope to build it someday

I'll be watching with great interest


Cheers Nick

Impeccable choice of subjects, Chuck, the Me410 and this 388 are great looking planes. I'll closely follow this build too.

AWSOME!!!!!! Chuck's doing another build. and Hanna and Fritzy are back too.
Jim

Chuck I am here too and I watch your progresses as I expect a date with one of your fraulein! Regards my friend, jean.

Wonderful news on the new project Chuck, sure to be a stunner!

Mark

Yep, I'll be watching this one. We need a popcorn emoticon on Aeroscale. Looks like some work, though.

Wow Chuck, great to see another build-log, and in resin too!
I will be watching and marveling.

YAAA!
So excited for another Chuck Build, I have notebook in hand. Please proceed.

Loved your Me410 and very pleased to see you starting another epic build.

Your 410 build is, incidentally, saved on my hard drive for posterity.....just too much education in one thread to ever let slip away.

Chuck, thanks for keeping my entertained while teaching me many new skills.

Bob

Wow, another Blog

Wow - very entertaining as always. Very impressed with your filling and scribing skills.

This will no doubt be another beautiful and entertaining build.

this is going to be awesome!!!

don't know if it helps: the kit is made of Dragon parts where ever possible. so replacementparts may be found at any revell or dragon Ju 88..........

sincerely

Thanks, everyone! I've been very much looking forward to getting going on this beast- what a subject! I'll be keeping busy with my 1/35 build as well- take a look here, at Armorama: http://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/167483&page=1

Ralf, I couldn't help but notice that the tailplanes were a match for the Dragon Ju88 G-6 kit. Now I know I can use the Eduard parts and have them match perfectly. Hurray!

I've been forming a strategy for this build- and have launched into it. Take a look!

Dang, Chuck, this is gonna be another epic (and a lot of work). Resin, riveting, and all the engineering-I think I'd be intimidated by this one. Should be an interesting ride.

definitly not a typical build but comming along nicely.

This actually scares me a little from trying resin kits, but I love the looks of this subject and could not be more fascinated...

Can't wait to see how the canopy goes on...

The provided engraving looks really professional and top notch, unlike the fit of the tailplanes... Quite an interesting kit.
