Those sunset photos are superb, really captures the magic of these early airliners Thanks Woody37 It was not easy at times, but fortunately things ended well. The shape of the plane has something of a fish or stylized marine mammal to it, a sort of stretched dolphin, giving the sensation of low drag. 5 hours ago, Sky Keg said: Moa my friend..........I am running out of adjectives to adequately describe your continuing series of masterpieces.

Nicely done. Martin Thanks, Martin! To out great fortune the aviation realm is so vast, that we can keep finding strange, exceptional, odd, funny subjects, as long as we care for. Expanding the limits of our knowledge and interests through these lesser-know types (or known types in lesser-known guises) brings refreshing air to the hobby.

I too like these unusual subjects for modelling and always enjoy your posts. Those sunset photos are simply stunning. Cheers John Thanks, John! Always nice to find a fellow modeler that also appreciates other aspects of the hobby! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Moa: first-rate work on this, and of course the shots are outstanding! Ah, California by the coast. What did you use as a clear-coat? Forgive me if you explained elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, California by the coast. What did you use as a clear-coat? Forgive me if you explained elsewhere. Thanks! I have been using different brands of the arch-known and widely used acrylic floor polish for the last decades, and the shine and transparency is still holding. I started with the ubiquitous "Future", but then formulas changed, brands went down and others came, etc. As we all know happens with "progress" in general, every time things changed, they were just a bit less optimal than the original. I am using at the moment Pledge Floor Care. I have also bought a few "new" clear coats (of the so-called water-based types) of different brands, among them Alclad Aqua Gloss Clear and some Japanese stuff whose name I don't recall, but didn't have the nerve to try them yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) My goodness, Claudio- that is a gorgeous model and the photographs just add to the effect! Soooo much better looking than the military versions....too bad neither American nor Eastern AL bought them- I can just imagine the Junkers in either livery! (Hmmmm...having said that, what an intriguing possibility for a what-if!) Keep 'em coming- I have learned a lot about modeling from the WIP on both of your Ju's; thanks for sharing your skills.

Bengalensis Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 This is again a work of art with photography to match. I just love the passenger aircrafts you build from this older era. I never like having to fly in today's modern contraptions, but every time I see your photos I get the feeling of wanting to be present there, with exciting traveling ahead... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike You are extremely kind, Mike. It is always a pleasure to share and to learn from what I see here, since the hobby by nature restricts the building activity to our boards; but then our models take off, fly, roll, sail, rocket away to other skies and for other eyes to see. That makes the hobby so much more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are too kind, Jörgen. As I research old photos of airfields for my diorama for the Junkers F.13 I am also building, I fall in love with those small, almost mom and pop facilities, with their little sheds, barn-hangars, a few tea and sandwich tables in front of a mere open wood logs fence, the flowers beds, the grass and some trees in the distance. So magical, so evocative... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro1 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Another beautiful airliner Moa! Also great to see it in the more unusual colours of LAN Chile, rather than LuftHansa or SwissAir. Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbofan Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi Moa, As always a superb build but those seats don't look too comfy! I didn't know this airliner existed, as was previously mentioned it's so much prettier than the bomber version and those sunset shots, awesome! Just like the real thing especially the first one.

Long ago I just wanted to build the darn kit. In recent years, I discovered the joys of research, historical context and function. It adds to the mix, no doubt.

During the sunset shots it was blowing a stiff wind, and the board almost flipped with the model on it! That flight would have been very short, and the subsequent emergency landing would have been hard! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
