LOL... actually, I assembled plastic ship models that are mostly in scale 1:350. I stopped many years ago due to very small-scale and painting issues. I am learning painting to work mostly with resin parts (3D printed) as they evolve the aftermarket parts.
Nice progress Adi!
Hallo Jim, Yes, I use an acrylic-based primer in light gray.

With all the aftermarket parts and details this model will make the real aircraft jealous!
Have you had a chance to see a real JU-88, or are they any survivors anywhere left?

There is a surviving Ju 88 near me in the Sinsheim Auto and Technology Museum, whose front end has unfortunately not been well restored. I have seen it. A number of wrecks were found in Norway and the Russian tundra in the 1990s, but I don't know their condition.
Thank you for likes and comments. The interior has been further enhanced, with the seat belt posing a minor challenge.

That is looking SO GOOD Adi. You may just motivate me to try a plastic model one day!
Very good paint job - all these small details
Very good especially the appearance of the safety belt

Thank you all for likes and comments.
The cockpit area is now complete. All 4 crew members have their seats. The floor pan will be added later. Next I'll be working on the retractable tail wheel at the rear.

Thanks for all for your likes and comments.
Now it's time to spice up the retractable rear undercarriage. Another kit from Profimodeller will help me with this.

Wow Adi! I just love your painting techniques, such realism! Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks for all likes and comments. After fitting the rear undercarriage, the two halves of the fuselage are assembled. The fuselage halves are slightly warped, which makes assembly difficult. The cockpit is then completed.

Amazing work Adi! The instrument panel is just so wonderful to look at!
Excellent work! My first hobby was planes. I used to fly them and control models. I also built a few static models, though, of course, not at the same quality level as you. You're doing an amazing job!
