I already have a order in for the Komet just because King and Country is what I collect.

50kg/110lb bombs

Ju 88/188 couldn`t carry bigger than 20 x 50 / 70 kg bombs internally (e. max. 1400kg).. in fact, the greatest downside of the type. All bigger bombs were carried externally. The was a bulged bomb bay 'pregnant' variant though which iirc could carry 3000 kg internally

the internal bomb bays were for 50 kg bombs exclusively, 18 in the front bomb bay and 10 in the rear bay.

dang this just made me think of the new Revell 1/32 Ju88A coming out.
