• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Something I've been working on

Too easy

Yes it is a Ju388 J-1, the Germans only had one or two in trials/operation. I just love the Ju 88 series and had to make this one.

As with all Jux88's it is a pleasure to fly, fast, and deadly.
 
Hey Ted... Looks amazing (as always):applause:
...can you give us a little more about/histrionics?
thanx in advance
 
Nice one Ted! What's the story on those rear guns, are they radar guided? Late on in the war bomber command were trialling such developments, wondered if the LW were doing the same?

Keep up the wonderful work! :applause:
 
Rear guns

The rear guns were controlled by the use of a joy stick under the radio operator's command. The plane had two periscopes that were used to cover the upper and lower areas of the plane. They had versions were the rear gun was a manned station, but this was dropped in favor of this remote controlled version.

Great website on this series
