Guy RumpCockpit & fuselage painted (mainly RLM02 ). Hardly any flash which is a nice surprise. 🙂

Guy RumpInternal windows (masked where appropriate) and internal items to be added painted with RLM02. 🙂

Guy RumpCockpit glued to fuselage. Door and windows painted. Windows masked and added to fuselage. 🙂

Guy RumpThe fuselage went together quite well Lukasz. More of a concern is the wings on to the fuselage as there doesn't appear to be many contact points for the glue 🙂

Guy RumpWings added (no spars on these), these were difficult to glue on. A bit of filler required, probably because of me having difficulty getting the fit right. 🙂

Gordon SørensenMy biggest fear for a build of these Junkers (I have a W.34 in the stash) is gaps and trying to fill, but still keeping the corrugated details. Looking good so far, Guy!

Guy RumpRear gunner now in place. 1st engine complete. Quite a bit of filler required. 🙂

Gordon SørensenLooking good, Guy! Saw the WCAM single-engine JU-52 in Winnipeg this morning. That is a scratch-built I would like to do…. some day

Guy RumpMany thanks Gordon. It's always a real pleasure to see the real thing, it always makes me want to build the model of... 👍

Bas TonnFollowing. Curious to see "the ring" in place.
Nice to see how some planes and helicopters are fitted with strange tools to do a task they were never designed for in the first place.

Guy RumpMany thanks Bas and Argento 👍 @Bas Tonn, I'm curious to see how the ring will turn out! 😉

Guy RumpPrimer added to the top fuselage and a bit of shading now added ready for masking and painting. 🙂

Guy RumpVallejo Model Air RLM71 added to the top of the fuselage and wings. Next stage will to be add RLM70 🙂 .

Robin (WhiteGlint)The paintjob looks real nice, though some of the pictures are a bit dark. 👍

Guy RumpMany thanks Daniel and WhiteGlint. 👍 I'll try and make the next photos lighter WhiteGlint 🙂

Harald BesoldDas gewählte Tarnschema ist sehr gut gewählt und sehr realistisch aufgebracht. Gefällt mir sehr gut.👍

Guy RumpVielen Dank Harald. Ich freue mich über Ihren freundlichen Kommentar. 👍

Guy RumpUndercarriage has now been fitted. Vallejo gloss varnish applied and decals affixed. The main issues were trying to ensure that the decals fitted into all of the corrugated shapes. 🙂

Robert PodkońskiLooks like these conformed perfectly. Congrats, Guy! (I remember a disaster with decals when I built Arma Hobby resin PZL P.1 kit, with corrugated skin everythere...)

Daniel KlinkVery cool progress and great performance with the Decals on that more than uneven surface...👍
13 November 2021, 15:01
Guy RumpVery many thanks Robert and Daniel, I really appreciate your comments 👍
13 November 2021, 16:20
Łukasz GlińskiAh yes, decals are hard on such planes - had the same with my 3motor Junkers (Mk.24). Looks great, keep it up
13 November 2021, 20:55
Gordon SørensenDecals look great, Guy. Probably hard to paint them on the full-sized examples too!
14 November 2021, 14:24
Guy RumpI've now added the top and bottom pieces and of course, the mine detector!
All went really well until I tried to get the masking off the side windows... the windows all fell off inside the aircraft. 🙁 After taking the side door off I managed to get the right hand side windows back in but the damage was bad so I painted over both sides. (on the instructions, 2 each side were clear, the rest painted over)
I finally put on the rigging and now declare this complete. Many thanks to all of you who have followed this project. 👍

Andrea BrencoVery nice result! I have an old Italeri kit in the stash, it looks like it is really worth the effort to build it!
10 December 2021, 16:26
Bruce HuxtableThat's a lot of wires to catch the wind! Very neat rigging, Guy, and a super over-all result 🙂
10 December 2021, 16:27
Guy RumpMany thanks Daniel, Roland, Andrea, Bruce, Patryk and Markus. Your kind comments are greatly appreciated. 👍

István SzücsVery good work, nice weathering, interesting subject- who wants more?
11 December 2021, 08:27
Robin (WhiteGlint)A very nice result, despite the broken glas. The mine detector is an interesting addition to this beautiful plane. 👍 Cheers, Guy. 🙂
11 December 2021, 12:30
Robert PodkońskiJust a word of doubt - was it a mine detector or rather an electromagnetic trawl?
11 December 2021, 12:57
Guy RumpVery many thanks to you all, Moreno, Jan, Istvan, Neuling, WhiteGlint and Robert for your very kind comments. Also many thanks to all of you mates who have "liked" this model, I'm very grateful. 🙂
@Andrea, yes please do dig yours out of your stash, I'd love to see one made by you, your skills will do it the justice it deserves!
My error @Robert, the degaussing ring was used to safely detonate magnetic sea mines by mimicking a surface vessel's magnetic field. 👍
11 December 2021, 13:13
Robert PodkońskiThanks, Guy - I was just not sure about that, but remembered reading about such a device 🙂 It is interesting, nevertheless, how did they shield the instruments from such a strong magnetic field...
