I built Shanghai
Dragon's Ju 88C-6 kit using Eduard's photoetched detail set. The markings came
from the box.

The photoetched
parts add some very fine detail to this kit. I added wiring and hoses from fine
wire and micro solder. When I saw a photo of some German radio equipment, I
couldn't resist adding the headphones that I saw.
This heavily-armed fighter
variant was feared on the Eastern Front, while the glass-nosed bomber was easy
prey. Some heavy fighters were disguised by painting a false glass nose on the
aircraft. This build represents that version.

After painting the splinter
camouflage scheme of RLM 70 and 71 over 65, I scanned the decals. I printed
these, and used them as templates for drafting tape masks. Once these were in
place, I sprayed the white winter camouflage. I wanted it to look as though the
ground crew sprayed around the markings, and this allowed me to do it without
putting masks on decals that have already been applied.
The fuselage band was
masked and sprayed RLM 04. The kit decal's color looked oddly light, and I
rarely trust the fit of them.
I had a blast building my
"Wolf in Sheep's Clothing."
