Ju 88 One of the most versatile combat aircraft of the Second World War, the Junkers Ju88 was originally designed as a medium bomber but its high speed and agreeable handling characteristics saw it usefully employed in the intruder, reconnaissance, anti-shipping and night-fighting roles.
The Junkers Ju 52/3m (nicknamed Tante Ju ("Aunt Ju") and Iron Annie) is a transport aircraft that was designed and manufactured by German aviation company Junkers.First introduced during 1930 as a civilian airliner, it was adapted into a military transport aircraft by Germany's Nazi regime, who exercised power over the company, for its war efforts over the objections of the company's founder
Kilroy1988. Hello folks! This is the first twin-engine build I've completed since getting back into modeling recently, after a hiatus since childhood. I chose this Italeri Junkers JU 88 kit on a whim based on its price on eBay, and had a fun time building it up! The kit was not complicated and everything went together smoothly with little fuss. Introduction. The Junkers Ju 388 was developed from the Ju 188 as an advanced night fighter intended to replace the Ju 88G in service with the Luftwaffe. It differed from the Ju 188 in several aspects, the two most prominent being a remotely controlled gun turret in the tail and a completely new front fuselage with pressurized crew compartment. The German Luftwaffe of World War 2 fielded a trio of capable (though eventually limited) medium-class bombers in the Dornier Do 17, the Junkers Ju 88, and the Heinkel He 111. The latter became the Reich's most important bomber of the war despite being exceeded in production numbers by the competing Junkers Ju 88 line (15,138). Junkers had also struggled with BMW deliveries, its Ju 88C variants were to be powered by the BMW as the initial Jumo 211B/F engine plan had been abandoned. The Do 217s competitor, the Ju 88 C, had only four fixed guns, whereas the Dornier could hold eight. In most cases, the Ju 88 C carried only one 2 cm MG FF and three 7.92 mm MG 17s.No.1426 Flight disbanded at Collyweston.

The Junkers Ju 87 or Ju 87 was a German light bomber of World War II. It was used as a dive bomber. [1] Its crew was a pilot with a navigator /radio operator behind him. He also handled the rear machine gun. The Ju 87 could drop 500 kg of bombs. Some Ju-87 were modified as attack aircraft against tanks. More than 6500 were made.
Construction of the prototype of the series began in 1935, and this (Ju 87V-1), powered by a 477 kw (640 hp) Rolls Royce Kestrel V twelve-cylinder VEE engine, was first flown with twin-fins and rudders, but was destroyed when tail flutter developed and the aircraft crashed. Subsequently the tail was re-designed and a 455 kw (610 hp) Junkers
