In 1996 a Ju88 wreckage was rescued from the Lake Balaton in Hungary. The aircraft originally belonged to the 7./NJG6 and was registered 2Z+BR. This aircraft was lost on December, 5th 1944 during a ground attack flight About 60% of the wreckage was rescued from the sea. In 1997 the aircraft was sold to the Deutsches Technikmuseum, where it now awaits its reconstruction.
In 2005 the reconstruction was performed in cooperation with the Norwegian Air Force Museum at Gardemoen and Bodo. Substantial parts of WNr. 797 4d+HA of KG30, which was recovered in 2001 in Norway by the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum in Bodo, were used for an initial reconstruction. The rear fuselage was taken from the WNr. 797 and parts of the tail unit from 714628. The rear aircraft fuselage and tail is already under display at the Technikmuseum in Berlin.
In addition to that exhibit there is also a mobing Ju88 undercarriage at the Technikmuseum, which is retractable into a small wing section.
