Hello Lads!
Is anyone interested on building this beauty?

I think it would be a very interesting plane to fly,
Regards!

i would like to see it fly as well
so i could shoot it down with one of the new P-38s 8)

I hear she was quite fast and later converted to a high altitude recon plane with a pressurized cabin.

I really like the fact that this thing ran on diesel fuel.

I love old ugly aircraft for some reason. :-?
I think this would make a great mod though.

That would be very interesting as it was used in several countries!
Here a few examples:

Chilean Air Force (FACH) had Ju-86s

As far as I know, only the high flying recons used diesel oil for fuel. These were the Ju86P and Ju86R series. The R was the ultimate very long wingspaned aircraft. Two men only as a crew in the hermetically closed cabin. One 7,92mm MG17 or MG15 remote controlled machine gun in the tail, just like a wasp's sting. The R series used the Junkers Jumo 205 two stroke diesel engines! Actual engie subtypes were 207 and 208, depending on the subtype of the aircraft.

Ups, no! Actually some C subtype also used diesel engines... :oops:

How could you treat like that some poor old defensless airplane!
When I fly my Lightning (my favorite aircraft anyway
) I take some 109s, 190s and zeros to the dancefloor! That's exciting! Some hot tempered dogfight, that's where I love to get into with my Lightning!
I'm happy to find another one who loves Lightnings!

Man, that thing does'nt look like a Junkers at all.. :o
Rather a Bloch or an Amiot, those rather *ahum* not so aerodynamic French flying contraptions. :lol:

I wouldn't be surprised if the U-2 has some ideas from this plane. It appears that the Ju-86 looks like the cross between a Ju-52 and a Ju-88 then had a severe case of gas. Course, it was pressurized. And high flying aircraft do not have to be fast, just have the ability to have a lot of lift. The U-2 is like this in that it flies slow landing or taking off(they chase it with a Kia sedan when it lands)
