The Ju88-A is one of my favorite german aircraft of ww2. Well rather than wait for 21st century to produce one in 1/18 which im guessing is a long... long.. long ways off ive decided that i think ill try and build one myself. Ive been planning this out all day and i think i have a pretty good idea as to what i can use to build this awsome bird. But first ive been searching all day on the web for the dimensions of the plane (height,length,width, etc). Also does anyone know of a site as to where i can find out what the dimensions would be in 1/18 scale? Id really appreciate it if somoene could help me out in this situation.

just take the dimensions that you found, convert them to inches, then divide by 18 and that's how big it should be in 1/18 scale in inches.
As a guide, in inch in 1/18 scale is equal to a foot and a half (18 inches) on the real thing.
