Another wonderful, yellowed old ESCI decal sheet. Now before you poo-poo these sheets and wonder why in the world I'd bother reviewing them, there are several reasons. One, MM, unlike other sites, has no problem showing you what was done. If nothing else, they are a trip down memory lane for many of us when aftermarket was in its infancy. Secondly, they do offer some interesting options and you can use them if you want. Third, if more companies would send in review decals, I'd not have to do these!

So, like  most ESCI sheets you are given several interesting options. Unless stated, these are in RLM 70/71/65, the standard bomber scheme.

First is from II./KG 3 in Russia during the opening days of the war. Yellow theater bands offer some color.

Second is one from LG 1 in a desert scheme while based in North Africa, again, with yellow bands, though it seems these should be white.

A Ju-88S is next and this one, from I./KG 66 in France during 1944, has a light scribble pattern over it, probably in RLM 76. For the areas normally in light blue, it appears a medium grey (perhaps RLM 75) has been used.

Finally Hajo Herman's Ju-88A from 7./KG 30 in Sicily during 1942.
