Re: Where Eagle Dare Airfix Junkers Ju-52-3M
Well done for a great review.
This is a very old kit, I recall building one as a young lad and that wasn’t yesterday another aircraft in that film was a Bell 47 helicopter pretending to be an early German helicopter.

My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Where Eagle Dare Airfix Junkers Ju-52-3M
I have a 1/48 Ju52 and am thinking of doing a wed inspired diorama with it. Where did you get the decals for the plane? I've been looking everywhere for them but am coming up short.

Re: Where Eagle Dare Airfix Junkers Ju-52-3M
Didn't know Mike did decals for this. I have always wanted to do the 52 in these markings because the movie is one of my favorite war movies of all time.
I have the Italeri kit set aside for this build.
Hey Mike.

Cool, I like to see the build process. When do you plan to build it?
