1/72 Ju-390 Finally Done!

Finally done!
I stopped half way through to build an addition onto my house...
Suppose to take a month and ended up actually taking 4 months :?

Anyway, the Ju390 was made from two Revel Ju290 kits as you can imagine.
Used a small wooden dowel as a wing spare. I would not recommend trying this custom unless you have allot of experience modeling. Sawing the wings with a Razor Saw was simple but the body was not as there are many internal compartments. Also being that it is 1/72 all the original panel lines disappear by the time you have the spliced areas attached, puttied, and sanded down making you have to redraw all if them :shock:

In the end it was worth it as it is a cool looking bird and not everyone has one in their collection.. 8)

Overall size is about 26" wing span and just under 18" long

That would be stupendous in 1/32, but it would eat up a full quarter of my ceiling space!!!

Amazing work.

Thanks! the 290 kits dont include swastikas, I guess I could have found some that would work but I wanted to do minimal decals anyway. Besides enough people probably think Im a nazi so here is my chance! :lol:

Outstanding, Jnewboy.

A very unique aircraft, and you have done a great job doing this model.
