[Junkers88A1]

hi

as i mantioned above, i will not comment on the part if its real or fake because i have not seen it in real life. monitors does give a bad view and colours( but i can say one thing that does make me a bit puzeled ) the rivets are riveted from the outside and flattened on the back.. this is unusual on the german aircrafts i have seen. they usually have the round heads inside and flattened on the outside and then was grinded down to a smooth surface ) this the germans was experts with

now to the He 111. the small holes are for the flares ! and the outside is covered with fabric. in case of a fire the flarebox was jettisoned by pushing it out. its the same in the Ju 52 and all other bigger planes that the flarebox could be jettiosned !
allthough the Ju 52 and the Ju 88 has metalcovers on the outside and the boxses are springloaded so one just pull a handle and out goes the whole flareboxses !

i have done quite a lot on our He 111 as it was pretty fast and poorly restored so it has gotten a sexond restoration where this item was but back in place by me ( as it was missing and i managed to get hold on one from belgium )and during the planes repaint it also got the correct fabric cover on the outside ( one these pictures taken over different times one can see the box from the outside beeing white and red ( the middle part of it between the white and red was not yet painted when these pics was taken.. that is now very green ( lighter green that the fuselage..but the outer fabric is painted in the same fuselagepaint.. just realized that somehow that detail has been left out during my picturetaking over the years..hehe

the box is seen from the inside withe the leather Mg 15 sparepartkit mounted on the "door"
just behind it is the flares and one push and out the whole thing goes

attached also a picture of the flreboxses in the tail gunner compartment of the Ju 52- those are jettiosned by pulling a handle ( on top of the two tubes you see going down towards the flareholders
