A build of Airfix's Ju52, which is I believe, still in production. The kit has a float plane option, which means that Airfix made gaping holes in the underside and wing roots for the float system. If you are building a land aeroplane version you will need a lot of filler and patience. This one was very old, the decals were unusable so replacements were sourced from an ancient He111 sheet.

Thats turned out really nice, especially after all the leg work you put into it !! And nice to see one in a pre-war scheme :smiling3: You should be chuffed with that.

A great build Joe with some tricky masking on the corrugated fuselage which looks to have worked really well. 5*

Great work. A very simple colour scheme but very effective.

Very nice work! I guess masking the corrougated plastic was quite challenging ;)
