Michou Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I have been looking through my books and browsing the Internet thinking that, perhaps, I could help Graham with his still unanswered question (29 June) concerning the 1936 Olympics Ju 52 and I came across a photo of a Ju 52 on this site -http://www.flugzeug-lorenz.de/index.php?id=51It is captioned "Hermann Görings dunkelgrüne Ju 52 landet in Dessau."I have found that there was one green Ju 52, D-ALUG named "Joseph Zauritz". It was light green and was the personal transport of Polizei-General Kurt Daluege and there was a brown Ju 52, D-ALUG, used by SA-Stabchef Viktor Lutze. All references indicate that Göring had three red Ju52s:D-2527 (D-AGUK) "Kurt Wollf" D-ABIK "Manfred von Richthofen I"D-ABAQ "Manfred von Richthofen II"Holger Lorenz gives the impression that he has dug quite deeply into the Junkers archives. Has he unearthed something new or is it a simple mistake? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test Graham Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Thanks for looking: I find it difficult to believe that a Ju52 carrying the von Richtofen name would be in green. Note that this one is D-2527, which presumably was initially "Kurt Wollf" in its airline role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michou Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Hi Graham, I find it very hard to believe that Göring had a green Ju 52 but Lorenz appears to have done some serious work. Ref. "Kurt Wollf" - not "initially", but subsequently. It was returned to Lufthansa service in September 1935, repainted in standard Lufthansa colours and carried the name "Kurt Wolff", a WWI ace. As for the lack of replies concerning your project, it would seem that nobody knows which leaves you the possibility of choosing for yourself :-) . I would go for L.40/52 Hellgrau as the easiest to use. It can be matched with RAL7040 plus 40% RAL9001. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test Graham Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I was settling on doing that too - I do have a number of suitable paints of which the old Precision Paints RLM63 appears the most convincing - if there's any left in the tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
