| Put the pieces together in their approximate positions they will eventually go...the tape just makes it look classy. I can understand why people thought they were seeing a UFO when the looked up and saw this thing in the air |

| Cut and shaped the elevators and rudders. Elevs are two piece wrapped, rudders are three sheets of basswood pressed together. Basswood sure takes awhile to sand, but it looks good when its done! |

| Attached the propeller nacelle tubes and made the engine intake boxes. Put the first two planks down on the front, but have to fab and install LGs first. |

| Junkers JU 88 "Mistel" A guided missle used by the Germans in W.W. II...largely ineffective from everything Ive read on it, but its odd and Id love to try and make a model of this interesting combo. Do any of you gents and laides know if anyone makes a JU-88 kit? |
