Thanks guys. Transall NG - have a look at the Aeronaut Books book Junkers Aircraft of WWI Vol. 1: Junkers J.1-J.4. Plenty of photos of it in there, and some nice 1/48 scale drawings that I've reduced down to 1/72

Welcome aboard! Work on the exterior is almost done (although I may need to beef up the wing roots a bit when comparing to the drawings). Next I'll have to figure out a cockpit interior.

A little bit of re-profiling of the nose section, based on a closer inspection of photos of the real thing

It is nice to see an update after a year 👍
You mentioned down scaled references from 1:48 to 1:72. Where one can find those drawings? I checked your project but found no assigned books. Thanks!

Thanks for the comments and likes. Bughunter, yes, haven't been doing a lot of modelling in the last year - work getting in the way. Anyway for references I've mainly been using the Aeronaut Books book Junkers Aircraft of WWI Vol. 1: Junkers J.1-J.4 (vol. 30 of their Centennial Series). I haven't really looked at adding my reference books onto Scalemates yet.

Thanks! Here it is: Book: Junkers Aircraft of WWI (by Colin Owers)
Just link it to the project like a kit. SM is wonderful 👍
