LCM & sails, red : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

[jcf]

Two Ju-52 (D-AJYR and D-AQAR) were fitted with Jumo 205C-3 diesels and designated Ju-52/3mho.
The center engine was later changed to a Jumo 206A which had a 60% increase in horsepower over
the 205C-3. One aircraft was later used to test the larger Jumo 208 which had been intended for the
Ju-90.

thanks a lot for the reference !  I didn't know these hybridizations :
mine was just the result of having those Ju-86 wings in the spare box 

[jcf]

Yours is the rare Ju-52/2mxd.

I swear I tried to swot that blue one the other day

S-51 (1/72) & Skymaster (1/50)

WON-DER-FUL !!!
This is one of the most beautiful twin-boomers ever built!
Uh, is a model with no scale 1 equivalent counted as "built"?

[NARSES2]

That really works and as Tophe says is darn attractive to go with it 

[PR19_Kit]

That's a real gem Ericr.

I've got that Skymaster laying in to back of a drawer all busted up waiting for a resurrection. This is a brilliant idea I'll have investigate further. I don't have the helicopter parts so this would require a rummage through the spares.

[ericr]

thanks ! 

I had the Abrams P-1 Explorer in mind :

[Tophe]

I prefer your P-1B with high wing

[NARSES2]

I prefer your P-1B with high wing

As do I Tophe
