Title: WNW Junker D.1
Post by: djuggie on May 13, 2024, 09:58:55 AM

May 12, 2024

Here is my latest completion of a WNW kit.  I thought it would be a straight forward easy build but that did not happen.  Everything went flawless (or so I thought) with the major construction and even the interior closed up without any problems.  Then I got to the cowling panels and all of the misalignments showed up.  Still not sure what happened.  But after many hours of modelling enjoyment, I got it finished.

The purple and green camouflage was oversprayed as per my customer.  I had used Parafilm for the color scheme and it was very difficult for me to overspray  it.  But it is done and the last photo show my D.1 collection by three different manufacturers.

Nice model. I love the faded look.
Nice prop too.

Nice job. I think the faded look has worked well and it looks like you handled the camo very nicely. I would have hated to spray over that!

A very fine Junkers! The faded camo does look weird but I understand your client wanted it :)

Beautiful, Dennis! The fading works for me, it wouldn't look out of place on a Luftwaffe aircraft twenty years down the road.

Despite your issues with the build, Dennis - this still looks great!

One for you to be proud of.

Regards

That certainly looks different with the faded camouflage, but still a first class model. And a really good looking collection.

My thanks for the positive reviews on a kit I should documented a little more, especially in the painting department.  It will head for its new home on Thursday.  Thank you.
