Here is the finished Huma 1/72 scale Ju EF 128.
After having built several other Huma kits I found they can be difficult to put together at times but this Ju EF 128 kit went together pretty well, perhaps this was one of their later kits.
The model was built O.O.B. except for the markings which were all from my spares box, I chose JG 3 markings this time.
Some images found on the net...I don't own these photographs but they would suggest the Ju 128 was not only built but reached the front line.

Very neat little build of a rare bird Les. The camo looks great as always. I also like the B/W photos and the general background in all the pictures of the model.

Les,
Another really well built and presented unique German aircraft. You're certainly on a roll.

Thanks guys!
Gary,
I would also like to know more about this aircraft...all traces of the Ju EF 128 were taken away when the Russians occupied Junkers facilities at the end of the second world war so we may never know the full story but what we do know the Russians had a lot of interest in it and sadly they are not known to share information willingly.

Really nice work. WW2 German planes are my favourite subject.
