1/700 Junkers Ju 52 'See' Float Plane - (x2)
[Ju52-see-700]

Nicknamed 'Tante Ju' by Axis troops, the legendary Junkers Ju 52 was the most famous German transport of the Second World War. Originally designed as an airliner, the Ju 52 saw extensive service in every theater that Germany participated in. Interestingly, the design of later Ju 52's allowed for easy conversion to floats instead of landing gear. Hundreds of these conversions saw service in the Mediterranean and, although they constituted a relatively small number of the 4,845 Ju 52s built, their value was immense in this theater where they ultimately suffered catastrophic casualties.

This set actually includes two different models: (x1) full-float model and (x1) waterline model that simulates the aircraft as it would appear in water. Photography of these little gems is a challenge for our equipment and limited skills, but check out the well proportioned model including the fuselage with detailed cockpit, dorsal gun position, windows and doors; the tail assembly and the wings with the floats mounted on struts. About the only thing missing is a tiny ladder from the port side door to the float.

Although the surfaces are not perfectly smooth (3D printing is done in layers), the plastic used can be sanded and painted much the same way you would handle resin or styrene.

NOTE: While we currently maintain limited inventories of most items, some items may be "printed on demand", which usually requires 10-15 business days from order to shipment.
