1/72 Junkers Ju88A-8 Scale Kit with Balloon Cutter

The Hasegawa 01999 kit recreates the Junkers Ju88A-8 in 1/72 scale, specifically representing the balloon cable cutter configuration. This limited edition is suitable for collectors and builders focused on accurate period models.

Service Role and Kit Fidelity

The Ju88A-8 variant served in roles that required countermeasures against barrage balloons, and the kit reflects those functional changes. Moulding quality and part fit allow builders to achieve a convincing final model with clear surface definition.

Buildability and Display Potential

Sized at 1/72 the model works well in display cases or on a modelling bench. The cockpit and exterior detailing support realistic painting and weathering, while the instruction sheet leads through assembly steps.

  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly
  • Paint and Decals: Not supplied
  • Cockpit Detail: Enhanced visibility
A fine liquid cement or cyanoacrylate for tiny detail is useful, along with a precise applicator to avoid excess glue on fine components.
The kit is designed as a static scale model; converting to a motorised display would require custom work and careful modification of internal structure.
Yes, precise masking helps keep canopy glazing clear; use fine tape and remover techniques to protect the clear parts during painting.
