1 significant historic and 3 detail errors with Ju88 model

[WTE_Galway]

Is that aircraft Wnr.0880119 ?

If I recall correctly it was recovered from the same lake as a he111 from KG100 the famous Luftwaffe BoB pathfinder unit.

KG100 were based in Norway just before the BoB.

Possibly the squadron this ju88 belonged to was also equipped with the Gerat-X units for testing before KG100 leaving Norway.

Only I./KG 100 was equipped to use the X-Verfahren in 1940 and it would remain the only one for quite some time (IIRC the Y-Verfahren replaced it soon after the BoB). As such a He 111 with X-Gerät was very distinguishable since it carried six long antennas behind the dorsal MG which stuck out about a meter.

Ooops, yep there were only 3 antennas. My fault.

I must say that a He 111 with X-Gerät and KG 26 code puzzles me a bit. It is clear that only I./KG 100 used the X-Verfahren during the BoB ...
