JU-52 Lufthansa Italeri 1/72

I thought I would keep going with the old airliners.

I made this one a couple of years ago, and learned that you should paint the solid colors before the silver the hard way! Had quite a bit of black touch-up to do!

The scale 'tarmac' looks great, is it a 'printed' one or something you put tohether yourself?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Beautiful!

 

[Lucky13]

Awesome! The Lufthansa logo must be the oldest one still in use, right?

 

[Airframes]

KLM I think is probably the oldest still in use. (the crown and KLM lettering, that is.)

Pete, the base is a piece of foam board with a pebble pattern I bought at a local craft supply store. I laid out a 5"x5" grid (works out to be 20 x20' IN 1/48th) on it at a skew to the edge of the board using a straight edge with a ultra fine point Sharpie permanent marker, then went over each line again free hand with the marker widening and thickening the lines to make them look like the pavement joints had opened and aged. Then I went back and added cracks and spalling. The whole thing took me about an hour to do. I'm a bridge and highway construction inspector so I've seen a lot of cracked pavement and knew what I wanted it to look like.
