I am hopeful these maps will be in its own post all to themselves and all together. On a first page and updated on an as needed basis. Then linked to the top so it is easy to find

Amazing work to everyone involved. I am in pure awe.

Everything is linked in the first post. There are links to the kit scans and a link to my Google Drive where are the part maps will be. It should be nice and organized.

The JU 88 is a radial engine plane.

I started thinking maybe it's a Mustang.

Others may have better information, but the JU 88 had radial coolers and an in-line engine.

You're right! Don't I feel stupid. I had forgotten that. Thank you for the reminder.

In post #399, #12 is ESCI BMW R75 with side car, #10 is Tamiya 1/25 Centurion and I think #8 is Aurora 1/9 Fokker D7. I would double check all of those.

I should have added that this tripped me up for many years. I prided myself as knowing all about WW2 aircraft and being an A&E mechanic in the early days. My peers straightened me out. Tricky German design. I do not know of a U.S. design that did this.

 

[Gort]

Okay...and this one. Then we're finished. I can slap numbers on them and publish!!

Also, I recall No 8 is a cut down part from the Aurora 1/19 Fokker D7 (WWI fighter)

Same for me...well WW2 airplane knowledge. I told my wife I was corrected about a WW2 airplane. Her response was pretty much shock. Haha

Is this the right Fokker? Heh heh.

Could these be #5? Good ol' McLaren?

 

[swgeek]

Fokker, yes.
McLaren part doesn't look quite right to me.

 

[jcoffman99]

Part #9?

 

[swgeek]

Nice! That looks right to me.

Well I'm stuck on the others. I did miss this one though. It also appears on the waistband on the rear, starboard side. Any ideas?

Also, as a side note, what are your thoughts on pieces that have fallen off? Add them or leave it as it appears in the pics we have?

 

[jcoffman99]

Tomorrow we start adding numbers and lines…so many lines…
