Getting toward the end of a 1/48 Revell Ju-52. The kit calls for placing a part they call a "generator" on the upper left side. It looks a big flashlight with a prop on it: can be seen near the round antenna on this pic:Problem is that there's no real attachment point for the part. There are a blizzard of photos of Ju-52s - war photos, museum planes and completed models. Only a handful of them show this part on the plane at all. I'd certainly leave it off if it's some kind of option. Anyone know what this gizmo did on the aircraft and if it would have been found somewhere on wartime JU-52?Eric
A model boat is much cheaper than a real one and won't sink with you in it.
Eric, unfortunately I can't offer any advice on this but I'm really hoping you have more photos to offer of your build. I've been wanting to do one of these for the longest time now. And this looks pretty sharp!! =]
Good luck on your search.

I think it may be a generator to power the radios so may have only been put in place when the aircraft was in motion but I'll need to do more digging to make sure for you

OK had a better look, it looks like if the JU-52 had a FUG 03 radio fitted this was driven by an air driven generator and this was a pretty basic set so in later versions may have been replaced with a better set like the FUG 10 so it could depend on which version your building
