Erwin Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Hi all, Entering this into the GB.Not as a floatplane ofcourse. At first I was going to build this as a BoB movie Ju 52. Untill I found out that the one in the film is a Spanish build CASA 352 .And I don't know if their are any differances in airframe between the German and Spanish Ju52.

Artie Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Hi all,At first I was going to build this as a BoB movie Ju 52. Untill I found out that the one in the film is a Spanish build CASA 352 .And I don't know if their are any differances in airframe between the German and Spanish Ju52. Hi, Erwin........The spanish built CASA 352 had completely different engines, engine nacelles and a different cargo door arrangement. The front fuselage section is different too, from the canopy onwards...The Ju52 at RAF Cosford museum is actually a spanish CASA 352. It's a very nice restored example, indeed. Should you need some pictures of that plane, don't hesitate to ask, we took loads of them a few years ago... Best regards....

SoftScience Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Erwin, did you have trouble fitting the roof? On my example it appears to be slightly wider than the fuselage at the very front and very back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpack Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Erwin Just noticed this. Have you any photo evidence of a Ju52 in this scheme? Looks different to say the least. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) ErwinJust noticed this. Have you any photo evidence of a Ju52 in this scheme? Looks different to say the least. W Just this profile (see link) and the fact that Revell gives instructions and decals for this one in the 1/48 th kit. http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/t/220/2/0/42 Those snakedecals aren't out in 72 nd scale.So I kind of made my own markings using the same paintsheme. I can't tell if there was just this one Ju 52 in that sheme or that a whole series were painted with lightblue sides.

Wolfpack Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) Hi Erwin An interesting scheme by any stretch of the imagination. However, the profile is of a ZG26 aircraft, presumably a transport for ferrying equipment and personnel in Russia. The 3U codes were used after July 1941. The codes 2F were used up to March 1940 by KG54, after this point, they used B3, so this puts it a bit before the battle of Britain. Do Revell give any other info in their destructions?
