Junkers G-24 floatplane complete
Posted by bondoman on Saturday, December 5, 2009 3:08 PM

I just finished the Revell 1/72 Junkers G-24, in the only scheme offered; Finnish airline Aero O.Y. Actually I really liked the livery.

This is a new boxing of an old kit made by VEB Plastikart in the DDR in the 1980's, with floats instead of land(ing) gear. I thought it was an interesting subject when I saw it at the LHS, so I grabbed it.

I liked this kit a lot. There's all kinds of minor issues- no interior to speak of, thick trailing edges, but to counter that, how about a tri-motor with floats and watercooled engines?!? A real corrugated cruiser!

Here's the pics:

 

 

 

Comments and crits welcome. Thanks, Bill

Marvelous!  Bow [bow]

It's like a tin barn on floats but you can't help but love it! I would hate to be the guy sitting on the wing giving her a refueling in the hot summer sun. Big Smile [:D]

That open cockpit is a strange pass on from the F13. Interestingly enough, a book I have claims that a few G24's had an enclosed cockpit... I would imagine similar to the F24 (all converted from G23's and G24's). 

How hard was it masking that corrugated surface?  Looks like a bear!

I must say... job well done! Another fabulous floater from you! Impressed as always and hope to see some more soon. Thumbs Up [tup]

Ahh, now I sense the root of Cap'n Bill's frustrations.  He has just done the decalling on his very nice G 24.  Man, I need one of those.  I did buy a civil Ju-86 today.  See my comment in the Ju-52 thread, Bill.
