    Hi Richard

    The Luftwaffe used three medium bombers to attack the airfields and then the cities during the Battle of Britain.
    The main bomber was the Heinkel 111, then they had the Dornier 17 and this one, the Junkers 88.

    Revell have produce the Heinkel in 32 scale as well as the JU88 and it even bigger!!!

    The other German aircraft used in the battle were the JU87 Stuka, which was not a success as it was vulnerable to RAF fighters and it had only limited success early on, the Messerschmitt Bf109E which was their main fighter and the Messerschmitt Zerstorer which was a twin engined fighter - another aircraft that was not a success in the day fighter role.

    No Do17 produced yet as a 32 scale kit but we live in hope! I have a Bf109 and Bf110 in my stash to build. I wont be building the He111 due to its size!!

    Interestingly the Luftwaffe was designed to be a tactical air-force in support of the army in a Blitzkrieg and was ill-suited to strategic bombing with its medium bombers. They had no large 'heavies' operational at all during the war though they did have them under development. Lucky for us!
