Very nICE Job Rawners, shall be great to be flying something different other than the Ju-88 and He-111.  :D

One question,

I am guessing that at some point when there is time you shall do a JU-288 from the same model?

The 188 was only an interim replacement until the 288 project was finished so believe it or not the two are quite different in performance with the 288 weighing around 6 tonnes more when loaded, has 1 more machine gun, 1 less crew, the overall machine is slightly bigger, top speed over 100 km/h more, around 500 km increased range and about 700 kilowatts more engine power with the V-24 coupled engines. And it also had Twin Tail FIns. ;)

288 was never operational used due to the long development time. factual the Ju-388 was the replacement for the 188 an was build about 75 times.

Actually the 388 was an aircraft based on the Ju-88 and devoloped through the new 188 airframe and it existed in the roles of Heavy Fighter/Night fighter and High Altitude Reconnaisance and Bombing. While the 288 was origanally planned as a pure Bomber.

A metal device to cut wires (from baloons)

A bit small don't you think, the same thing is on the Ju-88 model. Those can't be wire cutters, these are wire cutters. ;)



And also that small pointy thing wasn't on the real Ju-88 I dont think:

OK, found it, I edited your post (sorry lol) back to original, I put my name on it. I will post a note to the admins to take a chill-pill. I dont know who did the edit, but it was way over the top. If these things happen, please bear in mind that the admins are just humans, who bring their own experiences of their days into the forum sometimes. When a mistake like this occurs, just let me know, I will fix it. Please see it for what it is, just an error in judgement. :)

S!
