Junkers Ju 88 G-6 with Berlin Nose

[Baron]

Hi folks!

Nothing really new, but I think I haven't published that before the crash. So it's time now to share it with you.

Cheers, Simon

I've seen it. But it's very good that You've published prof. at forum!
Great work!

Very nice work.
Definitely an ugly version of the Ju88 with that funny nose.

I really like your work! Both here and on your site :)

Nice work, although the front of the engine radiator ring looks a bit too square. Also do you apply sharpening after downsizing your image? Perhaps use Unsharp Mask instead to try and prevent the heavy aliasing of the profile outlines.

Here's a good sideview of the Jumo engine: http://www.bibl.u-szeged.hu/bibl/mil/ww2/kepek/planes/pics/ju-88_1.jpg

First thank you all for the comments! The Ju 88 profile was reworked from a Ju 388 profile I have done in 2003.

@Skyraider! Your reference shows an early built Ju 88 A-1 with a Jumo 211 engine. The late war Ju 88 G-6 had Jumo 213 E engines. Shape of these engines are different.

I apply sharpening after downsizing, but in most cases there is no aliasing. Without the sharpening the profiles look too tarnished.

Cheers

Yes I'm aware of the differences in the engines, but I couldn't find a proper side-on photo of the G-model 88. The radiator is very similar though, if not the same. Here's the best I could find:

As you can see, the sides bulge out and the transition of the leading edge is less abrupt.
