Conversion Of Model Power JU-88A To JU-88C Day Fighter

I recently converted a Model Power JU-88A bomber into a JU-88C fighter that operated over the Bay Of Biscay in 1943. This involved reshaping the nose, painting it over, adding some guns and , of course, a new paint scheme. Here's how it came out.

Very nice, Epapazian. How'd you reshape the nose?

Very nice, Epapazian. How'd you reshape the nose?

Fortunately only a small adjustment in shape was required. I did this by sanding off the window frames and then adding some crazy glue to create a small protrusion where a cannon was positioned to extent prominently from the faired over bomb- aimer's position. I could just as well have stopped after sanding off the frames as you can hardly see the difference.
