Mop Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Joined a while ago but just be reading posts and admiring builds Junkers Aircraft hold an interest for me and I thought I would post a few of my builds since taking up the hobby again last year after a 25-year or so break .... Airfix 1/72 Ju-52/3m - configured as a WHIF as used by the Regia Aeronautica on Rhodes in late 1940 OOB Build Decals are from SM.82 Italeri kit (IIRC) Italeri 1/72 Ju-52/3m - configured as a Deutche Luft Hansa aircraft. I believe this was actually Hermann Goerings personal aeroplane? OOB Build Italeri 1/72 Ju-52/3m - configured as a Condor Legion Aircraft in Spanish Civil War. OOB Build Decals are mix of Matchbox, Italeri and Home-Made Italeri 1/72 Ju-52/3m - configured as an Ambulance aircraft at start of Polish offensive OOB Build Decals mostly after-market, some Italeri Italeri 1/72 Ju-52/3m - configured as Transport/Fallschimer aircraft for Operation Mecure (Invasion of Crete, 1941) OOB Build Decals mostly after-market My only other completed Junkers aircraft currently is a WHIF Ju-88 Revell 1/72 Ju-88 C6 Nightfighter, Vintage 1960s Pretty much OOB Build, but finished in what I refer to as a Middle East Splinter Camouflage for a Uchronie theme I am slowly creating. Hope you found these efforts of interest. I am trying to improve my skills on each build and get that little bit better each time (while still having fun ) I tend to post on the ATF Forum my builds but I like how Britmodeller lays out the Aircrafts by Genre rather then Kit On the Junkers Workbench right now are: Italeri 1/72 Ju-86 - Civilian; Probably DLH Italeri 1/72 Ju-86 - Military; Probably Swedish Air Force Revell 1/72 F.13 Floatplane; Scheme undecided 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Mini-Auntie ... the Zvevda 1/200 Junkers Ju-52 Italeri 1/72 Junkers Ju-86 Airliner Italeri 1/72 Junkers Ju-86 Bomber And my favourite recent build ....

Mop Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Did this kit last weekend and looks quite imposing even in 1/144 scale ... The Revell 1/144 Junkers G.38 Airliner Kit itself went together really well - didn't need a spot of filler anywhere and all paintwork was freehand without any masking. Decals sadly let the side down a little - thick and shiny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Really lovely work The Ju86 caught my eye, didn't these have diesel engines or is old age catching up with me again ? Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mop Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Really lovely work The Ju86 caught my eye, didn't these have diesel engines or is old age catching up with me again ? Cheers Pat Hi Pat, Thanks Been away from the modelling for a couple of years and just catching up and saw your comment. Well observed. The Ju86 initially started with the Diesel (JUMO) engine (the 86D) but fairly soon BMW Petrol radial engines were fitted instead (the 86E). So you would see military Ju86s with both types, depending on the build date. I think the Airliner version (designated 86Z) mostly had the JUMO but some I believe had the petrol engines fitted by the end of production or retro-fitted.

Darby Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Military Ju86 with radials always been my fave Luft bomber. I remember building the Italeri one years ago. Would like to get hold of another one again. Those 'Iron Annies' look good as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 7 more '52s in the stash, and 3 more Ju86s (one civvies with Jumo, one D1 and one E1) - looking forward to getting round to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mop Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Had this old lady hanging around for a couple of years, nearly done, but waiting for her engines and final paint and markings, so thought it about time to finish her off so she can sit proud with the other Junkers in the collection. 1/72 Heller Junkers Ju52/3m, finished as a What-If WW2 COIN aircraft. OOB Build. Decals from spares box I am getting itchy fingers to make another Iron Annie now ... Edited January 3, 2015 by Mop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Nice work here. I have the G38 in my collection too - and yes, the decals were the 'bad side' - but wow. could you imagine flying commercially and having a seat up there in the wings leading edge? Has to be, in my imagination, one of the best airliner trips one could have had. Hopefully, a full bar was on board too. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Boeing could have done something similar with the 747 - fitted a Stratofortress-type front to it and kept the flight deck where it was. Would have been brilliant!

I like that one, its not so far from the movie star one from "Where Eagles Dare" ,on my list of to dos, the Italeri Swiss Ju52 kit 0150 has the scheme for it, just needs the national markings changing. Lots of info in the googlesphere. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to finish as the WED Ju52, with a little dio featuring Burton, Eastwood and the gang (Airfix German Mountain Troops) and the bus with the snowplough (Roden Blitz Bus) slamming into the German fighters at the airfield, but decided to go for a variant If you need the scheme from kit #150 I can post it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks Mop, I think I'm OK for the info on this, I've got a colour plan off hyperscale (?) as well as the one in the kit. I've been looking at it for some time, & the kit in my stock, not confident enough to venture toward it yet. From various sites with screen shots etc, as well as the airfield scene you mention on youtube, I've sorted out the Luftwaffe markings I'll need too, it just begs the day for me to get it all together, at least the Italeri one seems to build without any hassles.

Parabat Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Cool Tante Ju's, my favourite is the Unternemen Merkur fallschirmjager model. I must make one of these at some point to keep my C-47 company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prenton Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Lovely collection, Mop If you are into the Ju 86 (lovely civil version, BTW), then have a look at the RS Models Ju 86 P or Ju 86 R. Both pressurized cabin PR variants, from 1941 and 1942 respectively. Well worth attempting... Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat Thanks Pat Another Junkers is the ever-popular Ju88, but completed in a WHIF finish. 1/72 Junkers Ju-88 from the "Revell H-165 (Night Fighter)" kit, but finished in a Desert Splinter Scheme for a Ground Attack role (as part of my Iraqi 'Dash for Oil' fictional time-line) OOB comstruction. A combination of the Revell Decals and left over/adapted Airfix Bv-141 lettering for the markings; Fictional Camouflage scheme. Lovely collection, Mop If you are into the Ju 86 (lovely civil version, BTW), then have a look at the RS Models Ju 86 P or Ju 86 R. Both pressurized cabin PR variants, from 1941 and 1942 respectively. Well worth attempting... Philip I'll have a look out for one of those. I have a SCW Ju86 D-1 variant lined up for some time in the near future as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
