Historical Context: The Ju 88 “Schnellbomber”
The Junkers Ju 88 was conceived in the 1930s as a Schnellbomber (fast bomber): a twin-engine aircraft that could outrun interceptors while delivering a useful bomb load. In practice the type proved far more adaptable than that original brief. Though it served capably as a level and dive bomber with Kampfgeschwader units, the airframe was developed into night-fighter, reconnaissance, tank-buster, and anti-shipping configurations---one of the most versatile German combat aircraft of the Second World War.
The Ju 88A-4 became the mainstay bomber sub-type. It featured improved defensive armament and equipment compared with earlier A-series machines and saw extensive use from the Battle of Britain and the Eastern Front to the Mediterranean and night operations over Germany. Its distinctive glazed nose, twin fins, and clean lines make it instantly recognizable---and a staple subject for Luftwaffe modelers building bomber wings, Mediterranean scenes, or Eastern Front dioramas.
Why Model the Ju 88A-4
In 1/72 scale the Ju 88A-4 pairs naturally with other Luftwaffe twins---the He 111, Do 17, or later He 177---and with fighter escorts such as the Bf 109 or Fw 190. Whether you finish it in early-war camouflage or a later scheme with heavier defensive firepower, the A-4 represents the bomber that carried much of the Luftwaffe's medium-bombing workload through the mid-war years.
