Ju-52

Crown,

Super nice kit you've got there. I hope you enjoy it! If you're up for it I hope you do a WiP.

Nice, i hope you do a thread as well. I have the MPC boxing of this one.

I think we are way over due a new tooled Aunti Ju, hopefully Airfix might add it to their growing list.

I built the Italeri kit last year. Typical 70's kit but went together well

Would like to build another 1/72 Ju-52 someday; read somewhere not that long ago Heller's kit supposedly has the least rendering errors, will do homework again before buying anything though.

 

I'd "built" Airfix's 1965 Craftmaster offering immediately after buying it at the S. H. Kress & Co. store in Southgate Shopping Center in South Sacramento, absolutely couldn't get the decals to set properly, i.e. too short traversely because of skin corrugation texturing.  I've not come across any decal maker of Ju-52 decals who'd addressed this issue, will also do homework about this, meantime those who'd built this bird would love to know how to deal with it.

 

What I would do is scan and also measure the decals on the sheet, then put them on the plane and measure them again.  Then stretch the artwork as necessary in a graphics program and print the new ones.

Bish; as always you have my undivided attention on this WIP!

Crown,

Great start there sir. Were must of the pieces loaded with flash?

Coming on nicely Nick.

Well;

 Are you going to put people in there ? I think that would look great ! Nice looking so far !

there is no interior in this kit TB. all I have is what I can work with lol.glued wings and test fit tail.did use testors putty dont laugh it works for me cleans up real good with alcohol.Ive used this putty as far as I can remember. and some engine pics bare bones stuff. I did find my monogram ford tri motor kit form 1983 and then some!! 

Looking great Nick...I can't believe the wing span on that beauty. I can't wait to see more.

Hello my friend....This is Crown's WiP. Mr. Bish is part of the audience like you and I. Hope you're well friend.

 

 

Your friend, Toshi

Wow crown r n7, everything looks great.  I’m anticipating an amazing finish!

Your friend, Toshi

thank you Toshi. here are my lastest pics.

testing paint shades on the left is tamiya blk green and just bellow is dark green and nato blk. on the right is ak interactive RLM 70/71 this paint brushes well havent air brushed yet and its semi gloss could be different. Im slowly making the switch to acrylics I tell you its a lot easier to clean up. the shade in the center is very thinned ak paint.

finished phase one of masking going to use Tamiya dark green then black green we will see how it goes

Very cool. I have the MPC kit on the shelf waiting to be built. Does anyone produce decals to render the Ju-52 from "Where Eagles Dare"? Or could anyone recommend decal sets to pull together the appropriate call letters?

Thank you cabrown 1 you can use black lettering decal sheet in 1/72 the markings on the movie ju 52 looks like an after thought that’s my appinion 

Looking forwardto seeing that paint go on, a nice comparison piece there.

cab, the markings on the movie aircraft don't look like they follow standard German pratice, they look to small and all are in black. I think you would just have to look for a letter set in the right font.

thanks Bish Im liking this tamiya paint so far it thins well and dont clog up my airbrush either.

thank you Tojo phase two masking is done ready for black green. Thats it for now . Merry Christmas!!!

painted with tamiya blk green this stuff is pretty good !! so far. still needs some touch up here and there.

I didnt like the way the dark green tamiya looks, to me its too olive so I remasked and sprayed tamiya deep green over the dark green some touch up but thats that.

Awesome splinter camouflage.  It looks absolutely stunning!

Your friend, Toshi

yes I agree that the deep green looks better as well, nice job, good eye.

Nice splinter camo!  Both shades of green look great to me. 

thank you Toshi, Jay Jay and Mopar madness. wraped up camo waiting for gloss clear going to stick with my guns in using tamiya acrylics
