This is my first post: The 1967 Revell 1/72 is one of my favorite kits ever since I built it when it was first issued. It is built out of the box, and painted with acrylics. The canopy frames are decal strips. I have other photos but system only allows me to post one image.

Welcome @David-O ! This is a really clean build of a classic kit.
I’ve got the newer 2011 tool in the same scale in my stash, and look forward to it with some trepidation. Glad to see how nice yours turned out.

Oh wow!! This is some good work in this scale @David-O . Good details and some well applied paint. These are one of my favorite twin engine bombers from the Luftwaffe. I really need to build me one of these to go along with my He-111 (my other favorite) when I get to that. lol
Good work bud. 
Thank you! It’s a favorite kit and have many copies in my stash.
I try to build the best I can out of the box these old kits. Thanks, I appreciate it.

I believe the model was scaled from the USAF museum’s JU88, which was a D version without dive brakes and the kit does not have them either.

That is a good job on the 88. The paint is nicely done.
Your Ju-88 looks fantastic! It was such a versatile plane during the war.
That model looks really fantastic.
Welcome, David, and great job. I haven’t seen the decal-strip method done in a while and would never have known, the canopies look fantastic!
You are correct from what I have read. Since I build out of the box I no longer worry about things like that. I have set aside many kits based on comments on kits. When I stopped doing that, modeling has become fun again.
I’m a little late to the party, but glad you’re here David on the forum. Paint job looks fantastic.
