Worth very little. Sorry. Another sloppy Medcalf error, as Heinkel did the (088)6xxx series. What I have seen of his first
Junkers Ju 88 book, its filled will errors like these (due to faulty and/or improper research, in my opinion). Some comments on that book can be read elsewhere here at TOCH! (see Book revues).
Factory ATG produced this example, (088)5508 and flew it in (about) middle of June 1941. Rolf Baltabol, one of the ATG company test pilots flew it away to Grossenhain in July 1941. Likely one of them planes re-equipping KG 51 in August.
Best regards
