1/48 Revell Junker Ju88 A4 plus some Aires & Eduard detail items

Hello.

As I love to realize non French aircraft in French markings, I wanted for a long time to realize a Ju88 A4 from the "Dor group", a squadron of the FFI.....FFI means French Forces of the Inside (Forces Françaises de l'Intérieur), that will later on become the GB I/31 "Aunis"(Bomber Group).

Up to 16 Ju88 where rebuilt to bomb the german troups remaining on the Atlantic French coast at the end of 1944. They had a special paint scheme (subject to caution), made of classic RLM76/70/71, specific green/grey color on the extrado, and very special motling scheme on the side, plus black and white bands at the beginning.

This is my first kit showing the engines and a motling paint scheme. It was not easy, it has got some few defaults, but I am quite happy of the result that is really unusual. 

You can see more details if you wish showing the different stages here (comments in French, sorry): http://r1cmaf.free.fr/Maquettes/Ju88A4/Ju88A4.html

Hope you enjoy.
