Airfix Junkers Ju88A-4


 I was really looking forward to building this iconic light bomber, but it ended up as the worst kit ever, and combined with busy work, completely draining my hobby mojo for weeks and weeks!


I don't know if it was the end of the mould but edges weren't straight, detail missing, misalignment and the fuselage halves were even different thicknesses. Ending up in gaps where the clear parts were and more filler than a 1970s Ford Escort! Even the decal placemats a pain as the instruction drawings were referencing panel details that didn't exist. 


In the end I am just glad to get it finished to a point, off the table and hung up at the back of the other models where it can't be closely inspected.
