Title: Junkers D.1, 5185/18 Baender (1/32, Wingnut Wings)
Post by: PrzemoL on April 24, 2025, 06:45:14 AM: The red variant of the famous Baender, usually believed to be black with red-white band. But I preferred to follow the track of the inverted option slightly suggested by the Wingnut Wings instructions booklet. This plane was apparently used by MFJG in the last weeks of the war and then captured in Hombeek by the Allies - when photographed it was in a quite demolished state. My vision is rather presenting it prior to its demise...

The additions include - the carved Axial propeller (Kotebi veneers), timing gear for Mercedes engine (Taurus resin) and a couple of cables for electric, fuel and control installations (barely visible after the cowlings were attached).

Post by: NigelR on April 24, 2025, 06:46:42 PM: A lovely job on what has turned out to be quite a quick build. The finished model looks fantastic, you've definitely convinced me to do the same scheme! I really like the overall finish on the paint and decals, you haven't been thrown by the corrugated surfaces at all.

Post by: DaveB on April 25, 2025, 02:32:26 AM: Wonderful as ever, Prez -

This was a lovely kit from WNW - I also avoided the black fuselage when did mine but opted for red/brown instead.

Regards

Dave
