Re: Junkers Ju88H-1

Hi obdl3945,

my best reference for this is Manfred Griehl's 'Junkers Ju 88 - Star of the Luftwaffe'. The pod was a defensive system, with rear-firing mgs - you will need to add the periscope on upper part of pilot's windscreen. The book shows two photos of the pod - but note that two positions are indicated; one where the front of the pod (on port side) reaches the front of the ventral cockpit hatch, the other is more aft - the front of pod more or less level with the rear of the hatch.

As for scheme - the photos show a 'standard' scheme, ie with 70/71 (or quite possibly 72/73 since they were custom-built for maritime use) over 65.

No doubt you will receive more elaborate information than this.

Cheers

GrahamB
