Junkers Ju 52 ("Tante Ju" - "Iron Annie") 1:72

The Junkers Ju 52 (nicknamed "Tante Ju" - "Auntie Ju" - and "Iron Annie") was a transport aircraft and bomber

manufactured 1932 – 1945 by Junkers. It saw both civilian and military service during the 1930s and 1940s. In a

civilian role, it flew with well over a dozen air carriers including Swissair and Lufthansa as an airliner and

freight hauler. In a military role, it flew with the Luftwaffe as a troop and cargo transport, with a secondary role

as a medium bomber. The Swiss Air Force also flew the Ju 52, with three machines remaining in operation until

the early 1980s.

I have chosen the non-military version decals, as the aircraft's miltary history (i.a. bombing of civilain Guernica,

Crete, Holland) is not a very noble one (actually it's not the plane's fault).

The version shown is still flown today, and enjoys taking passengers to view the magnificent Swiss Alps. You

will see that I have remained true to the corrugated sheeting of the fuselage and wings.

Page 2: Building Instructions
Length: 18.90 m (62 ft 0 in) Wingspan: 29.25 m (95 ft 10 in) ----------------------------------- Building Instructions Print all sheets on between 160 and 230g card, except Instructions and Sheet 6 which should be printed on 80 - 90g Paper. When gluing card parts at right-angles to another piece (eg bulkheads to the outer skin), holding together with fingers until dry usually results in the 'skeleton' image of the bulkheads - not nice! Hold together with 2 flat pieces of wood or plastic.
Page 3 Join the LOWER portion of each wing together with connector [10]. Glue the long tab of the left-hand wing (upper part), to the lower part. NOTE: the width of the lower part of each wing is 98% of that of the upper part, to give the correct profile. Insert the Dihedral [11] (glued on bottom, but only the top left portion) into the left portion of the wing about 1/3 from the leading edge .
