The Junkers Ju 88C-6 was a heavy fighter (Zerstörer) conversion of the standard Ju 88 bomber airframe, replacing the glazed bomber nose with a solid, gun-armed forward fuselage packed with cannon and machine guns. Fast and heavily armed, the C-6 flew long-range anti-shipping strikes against Allied convoys and, fitted with radar, served as a night fighter defending German cities against RAF bomber raids. Dragon's 1/48 kit reworks the Ju 88 airframe with the distinctive solid nose housing three MG FF cannon and three MG 17 machine guns, moulded with the crisp, fine detail the range is known for. Slide-mould technology allows the compound curves of the nose and engine cowlings to be reproduced without heavy seam lines, while the twin Jumo engines and undercarriage are rendered with equal precision. The kit includes a detailed cockpit, external stores options, and a decal sheet covering authentic Zerstörer or night-fighter unit markings, plus a full instruction manual. A strong choice for modellers wanting a menacing, heavily armed variant of the ubiquitous Ju 88 rather than the more familiar bomber versions.
