I've always had a strange fascination for these crude looking things, looking forward to seeing it develop

Rick's 1-87 Scale ROCO Ju-52m Medical Transport

Thanks guys....this is one of those projects that is a plan as you go sort of thing. The interior that has now been exposed, needs a little TLC in the derail Dept. I don't have anything remotely resembling the corregated skin, so I'll be winging it with just the stringers and frames and hope for the best. Cheers and thanks for the input.

Rick,
My apologies matey I have missed this up until now. A great start on the modifications.

You used to be able to get 1/87 scale corrugated (real aluminum) skin from Walthers.
I got the rest of the floor in ( all that I'm going to do anyway) and all the support bulkheads in place (aft) the forward cabin divider is in place and you can make out where the casualties will be "racked" up on either side. I will not be attempting to build the entire fwd. cabin and such as it will be mostly invisible with the fuselage overhead in place. 
Acting on Paul's suggestion, I found a couple of different brands of corrugated material. None of which were suitable for my purposes. So I gave up on the idea of running stringers and skin on the interior. There won't be that much visible when this is buttoned up anyway.
Looking smart Rick. I like the added details
You bet seated and watching but John has that Crazy look on his face again get the Fire extinguisher ready.Thanks Lee, I just finished scraping off the molded in exhaust system on the #2 engine and will be scratching that as well......stay tuned.

Looking good Rick
I’ll get right on that Rick.Yeah Lee......He's been playing with that "Buzz" Box (arc welder) all day, I'm surprised he hasn't set fire to the whole shebang over there at Race Towers. Better call Matron to have a look at him.
So here's the latest, I have used the removed plug to fabricate the upper cargo door as the back side will be visible from the other side of this bird....the bottom door will be scratched later from strip styrene as it won't be visible from the bottom unless you pick this thing up....going on a base so who cares. finally got the scratched exhaust ring and stacks located and the prop and cowl on Royal PITA.....sorta like holding down an Octopus while administering an Enema!! 
Quite safe re the fire at the moment guys, I've just had my meds courtesy of Matron .
Rick think something to judge the scale you work with would be nice , as the detail is remarkable .
