Historical information about the Junkers Ju 88C-6

The Junkers Ju 88C-6 was a German heavy fighter and destroyer aircraft mainly used during World War II. It was one of the most important Luftwaffe aircraft, widely deployed on both the Eastern and Western fronts for fighter, night, and allied bomber interception missions. The C-6 variant, derived from the Ju 88A bomber version, was equipped with heavier armament and additional armor, making it suitable for night operations, escort, and interception missions. The aircraft was operated by the Luftwaffe between 1942 and 1945 and played a significant role in Germany's air defense system during the final years of the war.

Product contents and materials

• The set is made from high-quality photo-etched metal – a thin metal sheet with precisely etched details.
• Photo-etched parts allow for the replication of even the most intricate details of the cockpit console, seat belts, instrument panel, and other small interior components.
• The set does not include plastic parts – it is an add-on designed for specific assembly model kits (in this case, the ICM plastic model in 1/48 scale).
• Some elements are factory pre-colored, enabling an impressive realistic effect without the need for tedious hand-painting of tiny details.
