Zvezda 1/200th Ju-52

Another plane kit off the Bring and Buy was this Zvezda JU-52, in the rather eccentric scale of 1/200th. Zvezda do this for all their bigger planes, and in some way it is a blessing as 1/144th scale bomber and transport planes are really, really big.

Here it is waiting for takeoff. I did it in early war splinter as per the box art.

I painted over the canopy and picked out all the windows too. That was a labour of love... I did the cowlings in the bright yellow Crete scheme to brighten it up a bit.

Underside was just light blue with yellow wingtip flashes. As usual I didn't bother with the decals.

Aunty Ju off to drop some supplies or paratroops somewhere. Broadsword calling Danny Boy...

Another nice model. I'm not sure if/when I'll use it, but I expect it will come in handy for something.
