WNW Junkers J.1

Rescued from the bucket: Here's my build of the Wingnut Wings Junkers J.1, the first kit issued by WNW and still in production. I purchased this kit when it first came out, and it sat on the Shelf of Doom for five or six years. I used Aviattic decals for the first time, and I loved how strong, resilient, and tolerant they were! Painted with Tamiya acrylics, Vallejo Metal colors, and oils, with a combination of Flory washes, oil washes, and pastels, with some chipping with a Prismacolor pencil.

 

Cheers, Tom

Peter,

 

Thank you! I had fun with the camouflage, but attempted to replicate the actual pattern. The kit is amazingly heavy when finished!

Awesome build, Tom.

An under appreciated kit. That is one seriously neat scheme!

Ernie,

 

You are very kind! I really admire your work, so I've been using your WWI builds as inspiration. Since this wasn't a version offered by WNW I had to custom print the 6's and small 8's. That was tricky because I didn't have a laser printer, so they printed rough. I ended up using a black 0.005" marker to fix them. The crosses on the wings and rudder are painted.

 

Cheers, Tom

Jan, thank you! For a first release kit, it really did fit well, though tolerances are tight in spots (true of all WNW kits).

 

Cheers, Tom
