    Revell Ju-52/3m Civil version 1/48

    Ahoy
    I finally got my PBY done she is hanginmg high now in my modlers den looks like a big turkey vulture hanging from the ceiling. Oka\y fellas here is my next build this will keep me busy until I recieve my Gomix Flymodel Avro Lancaster bomber in 1/33 scale. I purchjased this kit 2 years ago from my hobby dealer for $60.00 a lot of dough for plastic but its worth it a labor of love. upon opening the kit box one is greeted with 10 baggies full of fine ejected molds parts there are a lot of parts most of the parts makes up the intereir detais. The decal sheet is excellent gives you a choice for two different markings the markings and paint schedules are called out in the kit. Paint schedule No.1 is German air ministry of 1938 all red with black trim, No.2 paint schedule April 1938 flughaften Innsbruck, Osterreich All aluminum with black trim. There are enough parts in the kit to build the muilitart version but there are no decals for that version, the modlers has to supply his own decals. The kit in general is a old monogram kit that merged in with Revell so there is a lot of food for thought on this kit and leaves the builder with challenging ideas. Here are the pictures of the box cover and decals hopefully tonight sometime i will post a picture or two.

    Looking good so far, and I guess you don't need insulation in your house - all the models and boxes of unbuilt kits must keep the place warm!

    Interier details and assembly

    Ahoy all crew
    thanks fellas for your replies I am honored as always, Okay Gents back to buisness Been at this for nearly two days so its time to report for a update. Still turning too on the interier details have a little morte to go before i go to the rest of the build In the instructions the paint schedule either calls out for a Buff or light gray color with seats either dark green or Buff. I chose lt. gray color schedule and the seats are dark green. the seat frames were painted lt. gray with a hint of silver, Pilots compartment was picked out as per instructions on the dash consol with all trhe dials were going to be challengeing to paint until I saw the instrument panel decal on the decal sheet and excellent touch saves a lot of painting thank you Revell/monogram. In view of the kit its a engineering marvel there is no filling to be done this kit is optional it can be assembled either a military parachutist aircraft or civilian version. but as mentioned before if you choose the military bird you will need to buy a decal sheet . The interier gives you a choice of seating arrangments either leacve the seating arrangment standard or you can arrange the seating for a smokers section that seperated from the rest of the passengers a good touch. aft of the compartment is where the Loo or toilet is at The face bowl is folds up as you use the toilet after use trice it down to wash your flippers. there is even a toilet paper roll i painted that white. now the best feature of all in the kit the fuselage is assembled in four sections two side halfs a bottom section and top section after the fuselage has been assembled the top section is removable to show the interier details. A kit bonus to say the least. So when tackling this birdt you want to do your Sundays best in the detailing of the interier compartment so everyone can view your craftsmanship a rewarding responce. I added seat belts to the pilots seats another good tip to do is when cementing the canopy section it is best to cement same to the fuselage top section that way everything on top can be removed to view. here is the update for now will have a couple more this evening.

    Looking very nice Boats. But where is a roll of a tiolet paper in the bathroom? As memo serves I have seen the restroom with a towel and an issue of the LIFE magazine on a toilet seat there.
