some WIP from our current work...
Something different than the last spitfire...



So what do you say???

[Baron]

looks good!

Let us see some details of the corrugated sheet iron! Maybe the section bedind the nose engine?

Cheers,

[Baron]

Peter!

Check your corrugated sheet iron on the top of the fuselage! It wasn’t parallel to the fuselage.

Here is a great detail shot of the nose!

That’s the reason I will never do a Ju 52 profile. The corrugated sheet iron is horrible. First of all the passage to the flat sheet of metal.

More really great detail shots you will find here:

Nice start Peter, but like Simon says and from the look of those images that corrugated skin looks crazy. Possible but time consuming.

cheers simon,

saved me telling him, those bloody corrugation ends look a real bitch to do

[Clint Mitchell]

I think the word bitch is being a little too kind John. They even warp in and out where the rivets are fastened. Good luck Peter. It will look great if and when you pull it off. You've got some nice detailed shots to work with, shame they are not all like this.

Fernando Estanislau did a great job for Classic Publication. He did many details, but of course not all, as I think it's impossible to show all.

Here is one of his Ju 52 profiles.

Nice effort! Trust Milka to have a Ju52. Did the wing engines twist out like that then? Looks a bit strange? (i don't know this bird that well)

[JMSmith]
