Mistel S3C W.Nr. 460065

[aimsmodels1@gmail.com]

Hi everyone, John here from AIMS. I am making my AIMS 1/32 Mistel S3C W.Nr 460065 found at Bernburg. I was just wondering if someone like Ed North, Remi (“RT”) or Peter Achs might be able to tell me if there is any documentation on this aircraft - did it even get an acceptance flight in its 2 or 3 month lifetime? Any help is greatly appreciated. I can hardly believe based on so few photos that 35 Mistel S3Cs were converted from the 30 G-10's completed plus 5 recycled aircraft but if there is a test pilot name and other details for W.Nr. 460065 I will be over-the-moon. Thanks, John

Eggert,

I have a few questions.

1) How many Ju 88 G-10s were built?

2) Of those, how many are known and were recovered at the end of the war?

TIA,
Ed

I was referring to those delivered and those found ready to be delivered/completed.

I appreciate your help.

460066




with ??1243 , 561243, 951243, ???



Possibly another one? Props, canopies, ground objects in different positions from 066.

Edwest I already had provided thanks to David Brown's email - the answer to your question. Revi16 - the last photo you posted is also 460066 - note the damage to the Fw 190s left wing tip

As for the Fw 190 A-8 it is Wk.Nr. 961243
Please can anyone help with my original questions regarding 460066? Thanks

I am not one you requested information from but here it is:
Ju 88 G-10 WNr. 460066 had a follow up flight on 13-Mar-1945 by Fritz Harder. Since this was a follow up flight there must have been an earlier flight.

Hi Norbert, many many thanks - I was looking for info on 460065 not 460066. My last request was a mistake, can you help with my original request regarding 460065? Thanks in advance

[edNorth]

Neither 460065 or 460066 were "S3C", that is false.

Just took from the Robert Forsyth book. I wonder where this misnomer comes from then? So it is just Mistel 3 full stop. And are you Ed able to answer my original question? Thanks in advance
