Kudos to you for the proper pronunciation of Junkers. Here in South Africa 🇿🇦 in the 1990's, we weekly had one of these flying over our home, which incidentally was built on a WWII Spitfire pilot training runway. Sometimes, also a DC3 Dakota radial flew over. Once, the RAF Red Arrows and they wiggled their wings at our house! That was in the late 1990's.

[@ModellingWeekly]

@@afriquelesud that sounds awesome!

[@crackerbarrel6965]

Can’t wait to see how large my FW200 will turn out then.

[@davegoldsmith4020]

Love this kit and Love the JU52, many years ago While in RAF Germany I was on the outskirts of Monchengladbach, near its airport, when I heard an aircraft, over the trees appeared a JU52. it flew low over our heads. I spent a lifetime working on aircraft. but that was one of my best aircraft moments

[@ModellingWeekly]

@@davegoldsmith4020 that sounds fantastic, and a truly memorable experience :)

[@woody3590]

I am building this one now and have not had any problems yet...It always amazes me to see how well you experts do such a great job at painting the aircraft as my airbrushing skills are not that great and to see you do the camo with no masking was jaw dropping..it looks beautiful. I am taking an airbrushing course at night school hobby class and it is helping...CHEERS FROM CANADA 😊

[@ModellingWeekly]

So glad you like the build! Im sure yours will turn out fantastically, have fun with it! Cheers!

[@woody3590]

I found the engines and exhausts and wheel struts (landing gear a real challenge) cant figure out how you painted the engines and exhausts first then managed to get them glued into those tiny tiny holes? I super glued them first then painted and weathered where I could as the engine cowlings hide most of it..lol@@ModellingWeekly

[@dean22593]

I’ve always wanted to build a JU-52 ever since I saw the movie Where Eagles Dare many decades ago and paint it up in the same snow camouflage.

[@ModelNerd]

Great result! The final model looks used but not over-weathered, and I love this desert camo scheme.

[@ModellingWeekly]

So glad you like and appreciate it! ☺️ Thanks mate :)

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

That turned out amazing! The JU-52 is in my top 10 WWII planes. I think it's the surface texture, general shape, and tri-motor layout. Very enjoyable to watch. Cheers

[@ModellingWeekly]

[@Buledde]

I had the same model when I was 14. The gaps and the bad overall fitting of the model drove me crazy, but I loved the rich details. For this build quality like in the video my hands are way too shaky now, especially when masking the canopy and windows, this precision is unreal.

[@ModellingWeekly]

@@Buledde amazing how some kits transcend generations! I agree, the fit isn't great but the detail is very nice indeed. Thank you!

[@kl0wnkiller912]

I have an old release kit of this model. I keep taking it out and looking at it and putting it back. Maybe this time I may actually build it. Two suggestions: I usually paint and decal the instrument panel before assembling it. It makes things a bit easier. Second, Wingnut Wings is sadly, no more but on their website (still running at this time) they have an excellent process for doing wood texture painting. Nice build!

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks for the tips! And maybe one day your kit will be made and turn out brilliantly! 😉

[@johncahill3644]

Nice build, thanks! You mentioned you might try spraying Molotow chrome. You want to buy a replacement/refill bottle and shake it before use. Spray wet coats without thinning (no need for black undercoat). Personally I think it’s amazing. Applying it with the pens can cause clumping, whereas airbrushing is consistently gorgeous.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks for the advice!!

[@johnjephcote7636]

I could never work out how modellers could cut so precisely the masking of window panes. Now I have an idea but 60 years too late! I always used a fine brush straight onto the frames. What plastic weld do people use now - they never seem to shew it - I only had MekPak after using the brush-on stuff?

[@ModellingWeekly]

I use tamiya extra thin cement, it's a fantastic product! I also have a video dedicated to precision canopy masks with 3 easy techniques if that interests you 😉 glad you found the vid handy!

@@ModellingWeekly Believe me I will. I just have to save up the cash for it. I have always loved that airplane.

[@woody3590]

I have finished the painting and all masks for the camo turned out perfect...If I can ask two questions? What kind of wash can I use after using the Mr color GX 100... OIL OR ACRYLIC? and there is two engine cowlings with the exhaust pipes attached (part # 18 and 19) ..are they there in case you dont use the exhausts with the kit?? It does not say anything in the instructions about those cowlings?? Where did you get the nice round display stand?

[@ModellingWeekly]

Once the gx 100 is fully cured, you can use any kind of wash you like! Not sure about the engine cowlings, probably there for another boxing or variant but I'm not sure. In terms of the display stand, it's just a massive circular mirror that I balanced on top of my turntable

[@woody3590]

Thanks...I photo copied the planes for the camo instructions on the back pages at 240 on my photo copier...lol ,then cut the designs out and then traced them onto tamayas masking tape which I taped to my large piece of glass then cut out the masks using my sharp modeling knife then sticking them on the plane then airbrushing...haha insane amount of work but I dont have steady hands and a small enough neddle to do it free hand...all in all it turned out excelent...Thanks again 😊@@ModellingWeekly
