This is AIMS' first 1/48 photo etch set and it is for the recently reissued Cyber-hobby/Dragon kit. I'm sure that there are many of you who also have the initial boxing of this one stashed away. Needless to say, it is a good kit that just requires some careful construction.

Now you get to add a bunch of photo etch from probably the bigges Ju-88 fan on the planet, the folks at AIMS.

Much of the detail is for the interior and this includes not only different instrument panels, but also different radar boxes depending on whether the aircraft is equipped with the FuG 220 or the Berlin FuG 240 equipment. There are also seat harnesses, side console bits, some interior bracing and more interior panels. The set includes an array of cockpit instruments (not shown as it doesn't look like anything when scanned) on a decal sheet.

For the outside there are dipoles for the FuG 218 Neptun and FuG 220 Morgenstern array as well as tial warning radar, an ADF section, a hatch or two and some other small bits.

The set comes complete with a full color instruction sheet that shows what needs to be done where to use this fine set. A very nicely done set that will be a real plus to your next Ju-88G build.
