1to1scale Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Well, this was not what I expected! I thought it would be a British phantom... 2 1 1
HubertB Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 The Tante Ju has been announced for some time (hmmmm..... a civilian Ju ! Yummy ) by HKM. But it is apparently not the mystery release by HKM, supposed to arrive this month. Our resident mods with close ties to HKM are apparently in the know but can’t tell yet Hubert 5

recon Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I believe WNW had that at Phoenix IPMS convention! Mike 3
smitty44 Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I may do a Lanc nose with clear plastic to sit next to my bigg un. Why do they have some other name for Victorious Virgin in the dekkals though? Maybe soeone can enlighten me. 3

HubertB Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 After all the (self-generated and self-inflicted) hype, I have to say it is a bit of an anti-climax ( the analogy that comes to my mind is that we went to the theater for a Hollywood cliff-hanger blockbuster, to find it was in the end a verbose French « Art et Essai » film) ... Still, let’s hope it generates plenty of cash, to support other HKM projects ... And, btw, in as much as I would love (and buy) a 1/32 Ju-52, I have some doubts whether HKM would be able to recoup their design and tooling investment In such a kit ... Hubert 3
GazzaS Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 They knew announcing that they were gonna release a 'new' model would generate hype. Bunch of assholes. 2 1

Just can't see the Ju-52 being a big seller. 3
GazzaS Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 The Ju-52 mightn't have been a big seller. But I'm sur e a P-38 or Beaufighter might've. Or even a new, top of the line 109 or 190. 2
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 14, 2020 Administrators Posted July 14, 2020 I’m more interested in the thousands of civilian possibility of the Ju.52.. 1 1
smitty44 Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 ^^^ Those are missing a few radial engines, Ern. 2 2
1to1scale Posted July 14, 2020 Author Posted July 14, 2020 I was definitely thinking about Lufthansa Airway plane. 4

Made its name as a flying freight car long before Hitler took a shine to it. The three radials gave it better performance where the air wasn’t super thick at -30 degrees. Notice the original counterbalanced rudder used on the first few off the line and was soon changed to he straight style, along with being retrofitted to the entire fleet. I assume the rudder must have been way too light compared to the elevators and ailerons 2

SOP these days so far as advertising techniques go... In late June, Mazda teased a short video online about a new model release; a week later it turned out to be a new AWD turbo Mazda3 variant to be made in Mexico for the North American market, that may not be manufactured in right hand drive so might never come to Australia. Quite a few here on the Mazda Forums a little disappointed with that let me tell you. S 4

DocRob Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 These one engine Zombie JU's look horrible, if I ever consider one, it will be Lufthansa or one with floats, but with three engines for sure. Still shivering with the sight of these JU's and consider myself lucky, that I haven't seen them before, but now I will get nightmares . Cheers Rob 2 1

With careful setting you might be able to take a nice outdoor pic of the dio in front of the old Flughafen Tempelhof in the middle of Berlin, which is now defunct and an open space for everybody, a great area for recreation. Cheers Rob 2
HubertB Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Last time I flew to Berlin, it was in Tempelhof, in the early 90s ... Goes to show I’m getting old ! Hubert
