Re: luftwaffe alpine camo?
Dragonfly,
if I'm not mistaken, the Ju 52 seen in that movie was a Swiss machine. If you'd like to build this a/c (and no other) you should get the movie on DVD and watch the a/c very carefully (to see if it's the right sub-version). You should consider the following points:
The Pro-Modeler kit represents the sub-version depicted in the third pic posted by Modeldad; it has:
- no door on the right side aft of the cockpit;
- those smaller cargo doors/hatches;
- no cockpit MG turret;
- the dorsal MG position.
If the (Swiss) Ju 52 seen in the movie has no dorsal gun position then the best kit to use is the 1:72 Italeri Ju 52 (airliner version).
There was a very interesting Ju 52 with white segments (bands) over the original RLM 70/71 camouflage (I believe it was coded RI+OA). Unfortunately, the Third Group decal sheet is OOP. Buth there are a couple of color photos of this aircraft in on of the last numbers of Luftwaffe im Focus.
