About product

Junkers Ju 52, volume 81 of the Warpaint series

A publication, not a kit. Volume 81 of the aviation series from the British publisher Warpaint Books, by Kev Darling, is devoted to the Junkers Ju 52. The text is in English and the softcover format is close to A4.

The real subject

The Ju 52 is one of the most recognizable aircraft of all, because its whole surface is of corrugated duralumin sheet. It started out as a single-engine airliner, but fame came to it with the three-engine Ju 52/3m version, used by Lufthansa and by a number of foreign carriers. In the Spanish Civil War it served as a bomber and as a transport, and in the Second World War it became the main transport aircraft of the Luftwaffe: it carried paratroopers in the operation against Crete and tried to supply encircled formations, most famously at Stalingrad. The soldiers called it Auntie Ju. After the war it continued to be built in Spain and in France and flew with civil carriers as well, so the same outline can also be built in postwar colors.

What the book contains

  • the development history of the type and its combat service
  • photographs of the aircraft in the individual versions
  • color profiles of camouflage and markings
  • scale drawings as a basis for the build

Who it is for

For modelers who build the Ju 52 in 1:72 or 1:48 scale and want to tell the airliner, military and postwar aircraft apart, and for anyone interested in the airline flying of the 1930s. The extent of the volume is not stated here; the page count differs between the individual titles in the series.

FAQ

No. It is a printed book about the real aircraft. There are no plastic parts or decals in the package; the publication serves as a reference for building and marking a model.

Corrugated duralumin was a design principle at Junkers: the corrugation increases the stiffness of thin sheet, so the skin carries the load. For a modeler it is at the same time the main pitfall of the build, because the engraved detail has to stay crisp even after painting.

The type continued to be built abroad after the war, and the volumes of the Warpaint series follow the history of a type throughout its whole service. The actual arrangement of the chapters is not stated here; the text is in English.

It is not stated here. The extent differs between the volumes of the series and the figures given for this title do not agree. It is a softcover format close to A4.
