    BOB 80th anniversary GB - Junkers ju88

    So finally pulled my bloody finger out and made a start on this BOB GB, got side tracked with the other PBI GB..... Lol.

    My entry will be a Revell 1:72 scale light German bomber, the Junkers ju88 A-1.
    Here are the obligatory box and sprue shots...

    There's seems to be a lot of parts and the instructions are a bit all over the place, but we'll figure it out.

    First step seems to be the internal cockpit components, so made a start on those.
    Will crack on with what sub assemblies I can then, do some filling and priming as may be necessary.

            Update on this one, or rather an apology.....
            Have not been updating as I have not done anything with this one, its just been sitting on my desk.
            Unfortunately I have been busy with other things and also just could not get excited about this particular build.
            I think this Junkers may have been part of an auction lot that I bought a while back, so it was just part of a larger haul.
            Although it was suitable for the GB, it was not really a kit that I was keen to build, and if I'm honest, although I've now done a couple of planes, they are not really may fave type of kit or genre.
            So I've been putting it off, and putting it off, and have now decided I'm just going to park this build, put what I've done back in the box and move on to something else. No point building a kit if my heart is not in it, so to speak. I want to enjoy and be enthusiastic about whatever I'm building.

            Onwards and upwards.... 8-)
