Continuing with their great Ju-88 sheets for the big Revell kit, this one includes the unique markings for six different aircraft. While I know that the initial offering was an A-1 version with the shorter wings, an A-4 variant has also been issued that expands the number of variants that can be easily done.

This first offering is an D-1 with winter wash from 3(F) Aufkl.Gr.ObdL based at Lugan on the Eastern Front during the winter of 1942.

Second is a scribble pattern over the base RLM 79/71/22 scheme. This one is an A-6 version with KG 54 during Mediterranean operations. Note that the lower cowlings are still in RLM 65

In a nice tropical scheme with scribbles of RLM 80 and white on the upper surface with the underside in a denser RLM 80. It is perhaps an A-14 cannon armed version with II/KG 54 based on Sicily in early 1943.

Another scribble scheme Ju-88A-17 torpedo carrying plane is next. This was with 9./KG 77 in Southern Europe during the summer of 1943.

Next is a C-6 night fighter of 8/NG 2 in early 1944. Upper surface is a pattern of what looks to be RLM 71 and possibly 02.

The final scheme is another C-6 with large blocks of RLM 71 and a lighter grey on the upper surfaces and sides. This was with 5./KG 40 in 1942-44 and has spirals on the prop hubs.

The decals themselves are superbly printed and the instructions are first rate. Each entry has information on that particular plane as well as information on the source of the photo from which the scheme was derived.

I have used AIMs decals and they are superbly done.
