Just been into the workshop cleaning the tar from the outside surface with a blade and a touch of white spirit. (A common problem on barn stored items).

The paint is now a lot cleaner and clearer. The green paint is not RLM 83 it is the primer and the layer on top is definitely RLM65 – with oil accumulations in some of the depressed rivets.

The RLM 65 is definitely on top of the green – although most of it has been worn away.

It looks very nice with the original paint.

So paint now ties in with this being a Ju88 lower engine cowl with Jumo 211 J (or later engine). I suspect this is about as far as it can go on identification.

Thank you for the attention!

I will tidy up the bent trailing edge and clean up the front rough cut edge then think what to do with it.

Here is a cowl on a std Ju88

If the diameter of a Ju88 cowl is 1.44m (from Ju88 scale drawing) – the circumference would be 4.52m and this cowl diameter of 82 cm would be only 18% to 20%. So it cannot be the half round cowl that is shown here- but must be the third lower cowl only associated with the 211 variants with the lower engine bulge (additional oil cooler ??).

What engine variant would that refine it down to ?

I have to keep correcting the wife when she comes to my store room – it is stock – not scrap!

Brad – further digging through the technical manuals – has this drawing of the desk of a C2.

I think that this is pretty damn close..

The only thing missing s the 4th dial – Wannenbehalter inhale.

Overlaid on photoshop and perfect match..

Thank you Sir

Ian there are the three holes on each fuel line – the two switches and the sight glass. They fit.

There are at least 3 line sets on it – so at least three engine – most likely four.

There were line marking plates on the bottom yellow line down parts and a further one just below the horizontal bar- all fitting with the pictures above.

It also has the hole for the switch on the bottom line as in the diagram below. The yellow lines run over the front edge too.

The only uncertainty for me is the RHS – which does not appear in the photos – where there are two rectangular openings and four circular.

The scale and thick aluminium both fit for me with the images. It is about 60 cm deep.

Attached is the line diagram for the fuel management of a C-3.
