About This File
FS2002/FS2004 Junkers Ju-388/L1. This aircraft was a development of the Ju 188, which was based on the well-known Ju 88. Wings and tail wing were taken from the Ju 188 without modification, the landing gear originated from the Ju 88. In contrast to the Ju 188, the Ju 388 was equipped with a pressurised cabin and was designed as a high-altitude aircraft. In order to maximize the aircraft's velocity, the aircraft was hardly armed. At its tail, there was a remote control gun turret with two MG 131. While wing de-icing was done with hot air from the engines, there was a separate, fuel driven Karcher heater to de-ice the elevators. By Kazunori Ito.
