 Junkers Ju 388
Consequently, the first plane, the Ju 388 L-0 V 7, PG+YA, c/n 300001, was built from a Ju 188 E/F and came to fly in December 1943, even before the first actual prototypes, V 1 to V 6, could be completed.
Wings and tail wing were taken from the Ju 188 without modification, the landing gear originated from the Ju 88.
Further, authoritative information on the Junkers Ju 388 can be found in our Junkers Ju 388 book, which was published with Aviatic in 2003 (in German) and which will appear in an English edition in June 2006, which you can pre-order here.

 Heavy Conversion! Building the Ju 388
The Junkers Ju 388 had been developed from Ju 188 as an advanced night fighter intended to replace the Ju 88G in service with the Luftwaffe.
Originally I intended to use Toad Resin Ju 388 multimedia kit (mostly resin and white metal) as a base for this project, but it was not to be.
The camouflage of V-2 was not appropriate for the night fighter of the period and rather conformed to bomber variants of Ju 188, which at the Junkers factory were painted RLM 70/71/65 until the very end of the war.

 Junkers Ju 388
The Junkers Ju 388 Störtebeker was a World War II heavy fighter based on the famous Ju 88[?] airframe.
The Ju 88 had already been modified in this fashion as the S and T models, but these didn't have the performance needed.
Similar high-altitude modifications to the 188 were being looked at as the projected J, K and L models, which included a pressurized cockpit and wing and elevator de-icing equipment for extended flights at very high altitudes.

 Junkers Ju 188 Information
The Ju 188 Rächer (Avenger) was a high-performance medium bomber from Junkers, the planned follow-on to the famed Ju 88 with better performance and payload.
Although Junker's own Ju 288 was currently leading the contest, there was no delivery date on the engines and the Ju 88B project was re-submitted as a stop-gap measure.
By 1942 it was becoming clear that the Ju 288 wasn't going to be ready any time soon, and at the same time the Ju 88's were increasingly at the mercy of a rapidly improving RAF and Soviet VVS.

 Putnam Junkers Aircraft & Engines 1913-1945
By the early 1930s, Junkers was manufacturing the G-38, a large, four-engine passenger aircraft, with an enormous wing, and soon its successor, famously known as, “Tante Ju,” the ubiquitous Ju 52/3m, appearing in 1932.
The Ju 388, a high altitude reconnaissance, bomber, and night fighter characterized by its graceful, elongated cockpit enclosure, extended wings, and enlarged engine nacelles, were perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing of the entire series.
The Ju 488, on the other hand, was a lash-up of Ju 388 nose, engine, and wing components, mated with an extended fuselage and twin vertical tail.

The Junkers Ju 388 was developed from the Ju 188 as an advanced night fighter intended to replace the Ju 88G in service with the Luftwaffe.
It differed from the Ju 188 in several aspects, the two most prominent being a remotely controlled gun turret in the tail and a completely new front fuselage with pressurized crew compartment.
The Ju 188 has the late style large fin and stabilizers and longer wing tips needed for the 388.

The Junkers Ju 388 was a high-altitude aircraft developed from the Ju 88.
In developing this last member of the Ju 88 family, the Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke was able to draw on a wealth of experience with high-altitude aircraft such as the Ju 49, EF 61 and Ju 86 P/R. The Luftwaffe had great plans for the Ju 388.
With the exception of the Ju 388, all of these aircraft have been dealt with extensively in aviation literature.

The ancestor to the 388, the Ju 188, was developed from the Ju 88B in the end of 1939 but did not reach operational status until the beginning of 1943 after the usual political hassle.
In 1942 the Ju 88A-0 was tested with a machine gun arrangement in a rear turret, and towards the end of 1943 this concept would be ready for operational aircraft.
In 1943 Junkers proposed a second generation of Ju 188, the J (night fighter), K (bomber) and L (reconnaissance), but RLM regarded this development so extensive a new designation was necessary: the Ju 388.

 Junkers Ju 287 Information
The Junkers Ju 287 was a flying testbed built to develop the technology required for a multi-engined jet bomber aircraft.
The Ju 287 was intended to provide the Luftwaffe with a bomber that could avoid interception by outrunning enemy fighters.
The first prototype was intended to evaluate the concept, and was cobbled together from the fuselage of a Heinkel He 177, the tail of a Junkers Ju 388, main undercarriage from a Junkers Ju 352, and nosewheels taken from crashed B-24 Liberators.

Second prototype of the Ju 388, built in Merseburg from components taken from the Ju 188 series production prior to the completion of Ju 388 V1 to V6.
Equipped with multiple sensors and measuring equipment, this aircraft first served the Junkers company for flight trials in the spring of 1944, until it was transferred to Rechlin, where it was mainly used for engine flight trials.
In contrast to other Ju 388's of the L-0 series, the V8 featured both the bomb bay beneath the fuselage and at least a mock-up of the remote-controlled gun turret.

The Ju-88 and its Ju-188 and Ju-388 derivatives served in multiple roles -- as night and day fighters, for reconnaissance, and as dive and level bombers -- wherever German forces were committed.
Junkers opened plants at Bernberg, Aschersleben, and Halberstadt and more than 3,000 Ju-88s were built in each year 1942 through 1944.
A preproduction batch of 10 Ju-388L-0s was converted from Ju-188S airframes in 1944 and 48 Ju-388L-1s were produced at Junkers' Merseburg factory before the war ended in May, 1945.

The Ju 388 was developed as a high speed high altitude bomber based on similar aircraft in the Ju 188 series.
The Ju 388 was powered by two BMW 810TJ turbo-supercharged radial engines, although it was hoped to use more powerful engines as they became available.
Development work was quickened by the use of existing Ju 188S and T airframes and the aircraft was ready to enter mass production in 1945, but by then bomber production had been cancelled.

One of the strangest Luftwaffe aircraft to ever claw it's way into the air was the Junkers Ju 287.
Begun in early 1943, the Ju 287 incorporated many advanced aerodynamic concepts, the most striking being the swept forward wings.
Included were the nosewheels from two B-24 Liberators, the fuselage of an He 177, mainwheels off a Ju 352, and the tail was constructed of Ju 388 parts.

A back-up in the form of the Messerschmitt Me 155B would also be funded at a lower priority.

For me, these are the really interesting Ju 88 variants, especially the Ju 388, as I think they finally combined functionality with streamlined attractiveness in that design.
The resultant Ju 288, Ju 388, and Ju 488 did not look much alike, and in fact were separate distinct aircraft.
