Junkers Ju-88A-6 KG 54, Rzym, Wlochy, 1943 (1:72) by Corgi Aviation Item Number: AA36704Junkers Ju88A-6 - PN+MT, KG 54, Rzym, Wlochy, 1943 (1:72) Probably no other aircraft in history has been developed in so many forms for so many purposes except, perhaps, for the De Havilland Mosquito. Flown long before WWII as a civil prototype, after a frantic design process led by two temporarily hired Americans well-versed in modern stressed skin construction, the first Ju 88s were transformed into the heavier, slower and more capacious A-1 bombers, which were just entering service as WWII began. The formidable bomb load and generally good performance were offset by inadequate defensive armament. In the A-4, the span was increased, the bomb load and gun power were substantially augmented and a basis was laid for diverse further development.' Length:7.75" Width:11"
