Junkers JU-86D1 Italaerei 1/72

[T Bolt]

This was an old kit I found on the used shelf at the Hobby shop. The JU 86 was a bomber that I hadn't even known existed until I bought the Model. Believe it or not it had Diesel engines!
The kit went together well and my only complaint was that the panel lines were raised so I couldn't use a wash to highlight them. The camo was a lot of fun to do. I enjoy masking. I know it's a sickness and I intend to seek help.
Italaerei made the JU86 as the airliner version also and if I ever see it somewhere I might have to get it to put it next to my Lufthansa Ju-52.

Agreed, that looks lovely Glenn. I've a couple of these to build myself, there's a radial engined version too and a civilian airliner, both marketed by Italeri. Nice job on the splinter camo.

Looks great Glenn! Sweden bought this aircraft, not with diesel engines though....

Good work!

It's incurable so save your time and money.

Great job on the Ju86.

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks every one.

Kgambit: I know, my wive tells me I'm incurable too

Jan: Here's a picture I found on it net of a JU-86 that's in Swedish Air Force Museum, Linkoping, which I'm sure you've been to.

Very cool Glenn!

I have this exact same kit in my to build pile.

Nice work.Looking foreward to the airliner some day.

Nice job on that Glenn. The early 3 colour camo scheme is definitely attractive.

Very nice model. The camo seems to really set it off. I just did the airliner. How did the canopy fit on the bomber ? I want to do that next.

I had to do a lot of blending in on the canopy Ed as the fit wasn't great. I used thick superglue as a filler with accelerator and hit it right away with a needle file and fine sand paper before it hardened too much.. If you do this make sure you dip it in Future first so the superglue doesn't fog the canopy.
