Thanks for sharing with us the pics. I personally like more the winter and european versions posted a few months ago, but this one makes an equally great and unique model.

Wonderful and creative choice for the paint scheme on the JU-52. One of the most striking aircraft I have seen. One small note, the Red Baron's name is spelled RichtHofen, with a second "h". -- Al

First let me show you the plane (Ju52) Göring used during the years 1935 and 1936 it was registered as" D-ABIK". It was destroyed while on visit in Hong Kong when the Japs bombed the city( 1942)

Hitler also used a Ju52 as his personal plane . The plane was called Immelman

The plane JU 52-D 2527 I found that Göring used during the war was red yes, but according to my sources the engines were painted black and not red.

It's amazing that fat bloated windbag wasn't shot down in that red plane. It is a great looking model though.

Yes, maybe so, but red looks pretty cool :wink2:

The price of this model today I'm sure will be the price of the actual plane during the war.

Goering had 3 JU-52 painted red so there may have been variations. He used these planes in the 1930s on Nazi Party trips and during the war. I was curious about the registration change from D-2527 to D-AGUK. I don't think Goering chose those letters. The change from all numbers registration to all letters registration was done as Lufthansa policy after 1934. And it is not clear whether planes with a 4 digit registration were changed to 4 letters or just new aircraft built after 1934 got the all letters registration. As for colour, I don't think I have ever seen a colour photo of one of Goerings JU-52s - just coloured drawings.

So there is some confusion over which and when registration number and the exact colour scheme or schemes.

The colour scheme won't stop me from buying one:wink2:

Hi Guys,

Many thanks for the appreciate comments on about this beautiful aircraft…

Re our friend Guy’s sources that say the engine covers were painted black… For my primary source I relied on Martin Pegg’s excellent “Luftwaffe Transport Units 1939-43”. See photos attached.

Generally speaking I have found these books great value and extremely useful.

So, I think it’s fair to say that there is a degree of latitude sometimes when building a 75 year old aircraft.

Aircraft liveries can and do change with amazing regularity. I made the choice with this particular scheme.

BWHC,
Andy C.

Did these aircraft go to specific collectors as these with the Lancs did not seem to hit the warbirds collection on the site?

These wooden warbirds are sometimes listed on the site, sometimes not. However, if you ask Andy what production he has in mind, he will tell you. Also, check Bill Sager's site. He has a complete list and as he's a collector of them, he usually has them up before they come out.
