Hello Ivan,

My memory plays tricks on me, it canīt have been 1/32 - that would make it a 2 ft. wingspan for the model, which is impossible. The Ju-88 must have been 1/48 scale, because that would be 16 inches, quite big, but not huge, which is more in accordance with my visual memory of it.

Talking of big models, my brother built a B-70 Valkyrie, which was over 2.5 ft long - that was huge for a 1/72 scale!

The Ju-88 had no messy edges, and a distincly clean and shiny finish, so it may have been Monogram after all. Revell had more advertising in comics at the time (early 60īs?), so that may be why that name rings more.

I also remember how easy I kept the Ju-88īs prop-axels free of cement so the props would turn blowing at them. The 1/72 models gave greater problems there, and you needed a pin to apply the cement.

Anyway, since the advent of computers, I never built any more physical models...

Cheers,
Aleatorylamp
