This sheet is for what appears to be Ju-88C and Ju-88G aircraft. There is no information provided on the subtype of any of the options shown, so I'm pretty much guessing on that info. Also not provided for most options are the exact RLM shades used, though one with any experience can glean that info from looking at the profiles. There are seven options provided with six being the round tail, solid nose Ju-88C and one Ju-88G. The Dragon or Cyber-hobby boxing is the one you'll want to use for this.

Starting from the top there is an aircraft of 14./KG 40 based in France during 1942/43. RLM 76 with the sides broken up with angular patches of a darker grey, while the upper surfaces have a RLM 71 splotch pattern.

Next, in standard Ju-88 colors, is this Eastern front plane from 9./KG 3 with an impressive locomotive tally.

An aircraft with an unusual green fuselage stripe is this plane of the Geschwaderkommodore of ZG 1 from the 1943/44 time frame.

The first night fighter is this 11./NJG 11 plane in RLM 76 with RLM 75 splotches.

In overall black with no radar is this 1./NJG 2 plane.

Number six is an 8./NJG 2 plane from late 1943 in RLM 76 with grey and green splotches. Both light grey and red aircraft letters are provided.

Not shown is the lone G model of 6./NJG 6 in what appears to be RLM 75 with a hatched scribble of RLM 76. No insignia are provided on the sheet for this one due to space limitations. However, you can get what you need from the previously reviewed insignia sheet.

Superbly printed by Cartograf and with equally nice instructions, this is a sheet for you when looking to build one of the lesser modeled sub-types. Visit the AIMS website to see how to go about getting the proper bits you will need for some of these.
