We'll never see the real thing in flight, but this is as close as it gets! Wonderful job and skills.

Fantastic. I always loved the JU188. It's wonderful to see this machine flying in 2022.

Oh boy that Junkers is a beauty. What a treasure to build and fly! Horst you sure have great backdrops for your videos, the mountains and forests just brings us back to a time when they were using these planes for another purpose. The visuals are outstanding! Thanks again for some more eye candy.

The landing approach, landing and taxi with the idle was amazing. Great sound.

[IceMan]

Still can't get over how beautiful that plane is and flies. Those 2 Moki's sound like an orchestra❤️

When I was 10 years old, my father bought me a plastic model airplane kit of this Junkers JU-188 aircraft. Of course, it couldn't fly. But I daydreamed that it would fly😍. I loved that kit. Thank you for your videos and bringing back good memories.

Beautiful model. Landing gear, weathering. Sound of course.

Nice shooting. Thanks

The lower frequency sounds of the motors is amazing.

Fantastic model, one of my favourites of Ju88 series. The realism and attention to detail on this model is on another level.

If I was THE JUDGE FOR THIS Skillfully crafted FANTASTIC MODEL PLANE, and everything about it, I'd give THE BUILDER 1st PLACE PRIZE WORLD WIDE FOR IT ALL AROUND. YOU DESERVE IT!

[wayneandrus]

What a beautiful example of scale aero modeling. The people that built this are artisits as well as builders!!

[michaellipousky]

Absolutely spectacular!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 boy that thing hauls ass! I love the way it filled the whole valley full of smoke! I thought he was going to stall it when he put the gear down in that turn. Fantastic job! I love it! Cheers from Maine USA 🥂🍾🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[punkworkschannel]

The smoke looks great, but the landing looks real! The amount of work that must have gone into this model really shows!

[danteccced]

Tolles Muster, sauber gebaut, sehr gut geflogen und butterweiche Landung, "1 rauf mit Mappe"!
Weiter Mast und Holmbruch für die Zukunft. Ein Genuß dieses RC Video des Flächenfliegers, danke!

[ago]

Wow, the sound this plane makes is amazing! It sounds similar to a big prop plane only with a slightly higher pitch. Beautiful build and great flying as well!

[lancegrey]

THAT'S AWESOME! She responded and almost SOUNDS LIKE THE REAL THING! Thank you for sharing the video of your PLANE AND SKILLS.

[locowerke]

Thank you Horst for this great video! I remember your earlier video of this aircraft when they were flying the 'test-mule'; very impressive! now that it is finished, it is superb and flies as good as it looks!!
