Ju-52/3m Build

Hello everyone.... Here is my Monogram Ju-52/3m 1/48 scale Build.

Historical Information and build details of what I went though to finish this beautiful German WWII model.

Making masks in Illustrator to paint the decals on the corrugation so they look correct. Paying close attention to the build sequence so everything works. Adding brass rods to open cargo doors for strength before glueing the pieces in place and an intense color scheme via masking. Note: the dust bin on the bottom of the model... used to aim bombs and fire a defensive machine gun. I also added a good amount of stowes to this kit.

A great looking 1930's and 1940's era transport that went on in time to serve many nations.

And as you will see, the finished photos show how Tante Ju turned out. Es ist Shoen! (it is beautiful)

It looks so much better in the aircraft forum!
How did you achieve the streaking on the upper wing surfaces?!
— Besides the plane, I just noticed your dust treatment on the vehicle.
I'd like to do something similar with my Autocarretta, I think it would look good on the Italian greygreen.

Thanks Barley! The corrugated areas are a darker value of the original green by brushing in to the deeper green with oils and the engine streaking is with the airbrush (Tan and black). The little kublevagen is a 1/48 old Frog kit..... pretty nice actually!

Have you gone to the link to show the entire project?

Can you or someone else remove the Posting in the AUTO area? How did it end up there? Did I post it there?

Yup, when you first posted it.
You can Direct Message @Blackbeard , I think he can delete the thread.
Of course you can delete your own individual posts, but the thread would still be there.
– Folks on here are pretty chill about this sort of thing, so no worries!
