imatt88 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hey all, I'm thinking about building a Legion Condor Ju 52, and I need help with the paint scheme. This is the aircraft I'd like to model using Revell's excellent 1/48th scale Ju 52 kit I don't know if the Spanish Civil War markings are available in decal form, but what really stumps me is the tri-color camo, Any suggestions and help would be appreciated :thumbsup:/> Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HistnScale Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The original ProModeller release of the JU-52 had a set of Legion Condor markings included. HTH, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imatt88 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Sweet! I have the air ambulance/transport version. Good to know that decals are available Thanks for the info guys! Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imatt88 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Dave, Which issue number was that? Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VMFA314Knights Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Ian, I saw a 1/48 Ju-52 kit in a show earlier this year finished like that and thought - "I've got to get markings like that as well" it looked so good! I picked up the Revell boxed kit 85-5612 (toting Monogram instructions Kit #5612) in 2003 however it had the markings for a Ju-52 based in Italy or Russia in 1942. (Calling for a RLM 71/62 over 65 finish) If anyone has the Spanish Civil war markings (they are willing to part with) - let Ian or I know as I'm guessing we are both interested in these. (Perhaps you'd like to finish yours in Italian or Russian campaign markings and we can trade.) Cheers, David Email me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imatt88 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Dave, My issue has the ambulance markings and markings for a unit in the Balkans in 1942. I've seen Nationalist markings for the Bf 109s in Spain from about 1936 till the war ended in 1939, but nothing for the Ju 52s If you run across any Civil war markings for the JU 52, let me know Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HistnScale Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Guys, The Ju-52 in the photo looks like it was done using Montex Masks. Montex Mask # K 48070 has markings for two Legion Condor Ju-52s. I do not know of any other aftermarket decals for these aircraft. The original ProModeller release was kit # 85-5944. Note, the Motex system might be easier to work with over the corrugated surfaces. HTH, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imatt88 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 dave, I've never used Montex masks, but I've read where people really like them. I'll have to look for the Ju 52 markings, Thanks, Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
outofbattery Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) I have one of the Pro Modeller ones with Spanish markings that was started 10 years ago but never finished,it'd be nice if someone wanted it.I'm pretty sure I have all the parts together.

outofbattery Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Good news! It exists and it's cheap! With decals! Shocking news! It seems to mostly be there even after all this time! Bad news...it was built by me after about a 10 year break from the hobby.I seem to have lost one of the landing gear for the Spanish civil war version. The skinnier version is still on the sprue but you're going to have to consult resources on if that is useful or you'll have to scratch. I will have a looksee if I can find it.
