Revell Junkers Ju52

[aurelien wolff]

Hello, before my question, sorry for my verry long absence. I'm interested by getting revell civilian Ju 58 with D-2527 marking for my birthday and iwonder how accurate the interior is but couldn't find a good (and big) picture of the plane interior to see if revell interior is accurate or not (if not, i'm going for the what if with a different interior or one based on a lufthansa adds from the time).

Wow they even threw in the bathroom sink!

This is the only pic I could find and it shows the compartment divided up with facing seats and a table between. No idea which airline, book written in German but it could be Lufthansa pre war.

Thanks so the interior was verry different to the standard one revell proposed.

Because the D-2527 later D-AGUK (s/n 4022) was for transportation of Herman Goering and knowing his penchant for luxury I'm almost sure the layout of the passenger compartment was entirely different from the standard DLH equipment for the Ju-52/3m. I would say it was even different from Hitler's one too.

Ok, then the one I'll get will have a what if interior (btw, I already have the heller junkers 52 in my stash I got from a meeting at haguenau and had the luck to get inside a military junkers 52 there).

Here is a link to a site where two shots od the interior can be seen. Unfortunately the owner uploaded a small copy of these. But you may notice the difference.

BTW the image of the passenger compartment in the post #3 is of the Junkers G.31.

The seats are already quite different, I wonder what color they were and there seem to be a lot of white too. I wonder if it's kinda like the BBJ planes or when airline customize their interiors (the united 747 being verry different from the british airway one per example).

IMHO that's one of the two shots ...

Thanks so the smoker room is quite different in the revell kit, it doesn't have tables and the seat look less padded (not even sure of the french word for that one so I'm taking a guess here, am I wrong with the word I used or not?) on the revell kit too.

IMHO the Revell arrangement for the compartments of the model is for the standard one used with the DLH Ju-52s rather. It is caused by the options for making different Ju Tente both the military and civilian ones.
