"Best 1/300 DO-17Z & Ju-88" Topic

For CY6 BoB games.
What brands would you say?

I have Scotias, and they aren't too bad, though sometimes the wings get dinged up when removing them from the molds. H&R tend to be pretty rough and a little chunky. If Raiden makes them, they would be your best bet, or C-in-C would also be pretty decent. I went with Scotia mainly for cost effectiveness, but the others are nicer, with the exception of H&R.

I have Scotias and H&R figures also and they mix great. I've seen the Raiden castings and they are wonderful, but I only have a few, not the Ju-88. Raiden makes a Ju-88 but not Do-17z.

Scotia makes both.

H&R are chucky, but they have worked well with other aircraft I have (ie: all my Zeros are H&R)

Luftwaffe 1946 line of miniatures makes a great line of castings also. They have both Ju-88 and Do-17z

Hope this helps you.

I would also recommend Museum Miniature in the UK. They mostly have BoB era planes, but they are very nice…

I've been generally pleased with the Scotia models.

The Raiden Ju-88 is superb.

The Leading Edge planes mentioned by Finknottle above, available through Museum Miniatures are really nice but expensive. I use Navwar but then I`m a Scot and as tight as a DucksAnus. ;-p

I, like R Mark, vouch for the Raidens. They produce the Ju 88 A-1 version, which was the shorter wing plane used in the Battle of Britain. Museum's mini is also very good, but is the later A-4 version with longer wingtips. Although it got more widespread use, it wasn't used in BoB, if you care for that sort of stuff ;)

Raiden's mini has exhaustive detail in the wings, where Museum's mini if more spartan.

Thank you all, gentlemen!

I've got the Leading Edge Ju88s which I like. Raiden Ju88s come with bombs so that might be a deal clincher.
