1/48 Scratchbuilt Junkers JI

[Marklo]

Been a long while in the works but finally done. 

known as the flying tank, nicknamed the flying furniture van. Unique in being the only purpose designed army cooperation plane in WWI and extremely successful in its role. 
 

Not modelled after a specific machine but hopefully representative of the type.

I might just add that the real thing was noted for the roughness of its metalwork and the photos look more like the side of a barn rathan an aeroplane; I think I’ve captured that

Nice job Marklo. I’m afraid I lost track of the WIP thread somewhere about half way through this project. Will get back to it later today.

I think I did too  hadn’t realised I’d started the build in 2019, of course in the last year or so I’ve had a lot more modelling time.

Looks very good. For a scratch build that is quite a difficult subject, given the corrugations of the metalwork. You have pulled that off well.

Great job, Marklo -

 

I always admire you scratch builders - true model makers.    I especially like how you achieved the corrugated metal look.
