Going to rely heavily on Vic's build for this one, like him i will build, paint and decal this huge kit in 3 main sections, port and starboard wings and the fuselage.
I'll also add the engines, undercart and flaperons at the last minute.

My subject will be the one depicted on the box, though i cant find any pictures of this one so will follow the instructions.

At this rate you'll have this one done before I get mine out of the box, gotta keep my eye on this one.

 

[fubar57]

Junkers sure did like corrugations.

 

[Crimea_River]

Good stuff Karl.

 

[Snautzer01]

I might have some pictures.

Looking forward to his one and seeing how the corrugated finish turns out.

thats thrown a spanner in the works. WL+KLQ is my subject but in your picture it has a lighter colour paint near the tail not the RLM 70, 71, 65 that the instructions call for ?

 

[Airframes]

Good start Karl.
That lighter colour might be a 'left over' from the pre-war colour scheme.

Just found this on Pinterest !
Very confused now, though what are the chances it was repainted in 70, 71, 65 in 1940 ?

Anyway on with the build.
cockpit started

Cockpit bulkhead put together

And glued in place

 

[fubar57]

Good start. Gonna need some of these to fill up the cargo area
