1/72 Airfix JU52
(1/1)
Mr. Bill:
Greetings!
Another old Airfix kit - this time the classic JU52. Out of the box build with a few minor enhancements. Poor fit in many areas, especially landing gear! Maybe I should have done the float plane version. Decals were the most challenging part of this build - the corrugated surfaces are not very decal friendly. Kit decals were very old and unusable, so I used the PrintScale set 72-075 which finally worked with repeated applications of decal solution. Paint scheme is from the PrintScale decal painting guide. I think the actual machine may have had a splinter pattern? Had a mental lapse and forgot to mask the side windows before spraying clear flat coat so they are a bit fuzzy looking! Many thanks for having a look, comments and questions always welcome.
Happy New Year!
Bill
