Junker Ju52 Build

[Tim Marlow]

I would go with a fold of fine wet or dry, using the fold edge, or perhaps a fine round file Carl. Build is looking good by the way....great detail in this kit.....

Thanks for that, I’ll give it a go later. Yes the kit does have very good detail. Also the fit has been pretty good so far. I put the wings on and there's virtually no join gap at all. Just got to watch that detail does not get toomkch glue on it like I managed

Latest update, wings on and a few external bits. Some placed just for picture. I also placed a dusty Messerschmitt for scale.

I see you got your canopy sorted nicely. How did you do it in the end?

I have ordered some of the strip stuff but decided that the gap was not too large at the front so used some filler and reshaped and sanded it to suite. I’m satisfied that it should look fine once painted.

Well it worked and that's what matters.

It looks very accurate with those black scorch marks on the fuselage, I must say.

Wait, what’s that? This isn’t going to be a model of one in the Netherlands in mid-May 1940?

Lol, I can’t quite bring myself to do one of those post crash models just yet. (Although some of my earlier models may have looked that way) joking aside I was contemplating painting with the light snowy colours for something different but then I changed my mind and decided to go with the normal two tone green camo, when the paint turns up.

So I e basically finished the Junker, I am waiting for the German swastica for the tail fin and I need to do some minor weathering but the plastic model is completed as far as parts to be added.

Beautifully done.

Thanks Peter, of all the models I’ve made since I started up earlier this year this revell is probably the best one yet to put together. It just seemed to fit very well or at least compared to the ones I built before it. I could recommend it and it’s not too difficult to build if your a beginner like me.

Carl,
That is a cracking result very nicely done.
