John1 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I suspect that we are only going to get a Ju-52 Forward Fuselage version. Rick Griewski, Archimedes, Alburymodeler and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one in the stash, too. It looks pretty nice for a vac, but corrugations are pretty much just raised lines. I do have a float conversion for the 1/48th Monogram kit, probably the one I will finish first. LSP_K2 and Archimedes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are more than one fascinating Ju52 floatplane airliners. Add to that the crazy dustbin gun placement on a Spanish Civil War Ju52. Who could ever decide which one to build?

Fred Jack Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I’m still waiting on a DC-3/C-47. DeAgostini makes a detailed DC-3, but The skin is too saggy plus it’s way too pricy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot discard any float model, kit or built. All aircraft wearing clown shoes are Ultra Cool as far as I am concerned. None can be discarded.

Sabre F-86 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I too would love to see a Tante Ju in 1/32nd but god knows where I'd put it. Floats, for sure, skis maybe, for a Stalingrad bird. ( have to check photos on that. Not sure they were actually on skis) Paint schemes? North Africa, or Eastern front. Norway, would have to find some good photos. That said, I think I've pretty much come to the end of my buying kits. Since all the COVID stuff started I've been spending money like a drunken sailor. I have the HK Dambuster Lanc and the DO-335A in transit now, bought the Special Hobbies T-2 Buckeye, and the P-39Q. About a grand worth of PE. Tamiya's wonderful Mosquito FB.VI. All sorts of other stuff. The oddest one would be the Lemkit resin Yak 25M. So the idea of spending what i figure a Ju-52 will cost, is mind boggling. If the 32nd Catalina is a grand or more, I expect the Ju would be in the same league. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite ... HKM DOES have one in development (unless the project has been canned!!) ... Even if the supplied artwork doesn't originate from them ... I think this photo originates from the Telford stand at sometime in the past ... Rog Edited August 14, 2020 by Artful69 alanash1963 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog A bit more than thinking about it 58 minutes ago, Jennings Heilig said: He said they had thought about it, but that's as far as it got. So, thought as far as a large vinyl poster at a major modelling event, then canned. Wonder why? I'm getting the impression we're getting a lot of half truths here. Same with the Spey Toom saga. I'll refrain from using terms like b/s — oops! If HKM produce something that interests I'll gladly buy. And after four fri**in Pfeils If they want to maximise their tooling just get a fighter Mosquito out: a fighter nose assembly with three different radomes and there's at least six potential NF variants, probably eight. An utter no brainer. Tamiya doesn't appear to be doing anything further with its FB.VI and that kit is, let's face it, unnecessarily complex. Failing that, do a PR.XVI with peepholes and cameras/mounts. Tony thierry laurent and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for posting that Rog’. Who knows? Hopefully then this has not been canned. I’ll keep my fingers crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
