Junkers JU86 D1 build
Well a cold wet day kept me from doing external chores so I elected to pull out some kits from the stock and decided upon the Italeri Junkers JU86D1 and four others to assemble over the coming week of predicted wet weather.
Originally I purchased this for SCW aerial dogfights, but as it is a little large I have decided to add it to my Luftwaffe for the invasion of Poland where I believe the JU86D1 flew its only combat missions of ww2 with Kampfgeschwader 1 /III, (I do quite like the 5th Staffel KG254 1937 colours below).
I will paint in the early war pattern I think, and as a wargaming flying model, as very little information exists for the JU86D1 service.

ReplyDeleteI am not sure I would like to be the chap in the retractable dorsal gun position…😳
All the best. Aly
No, very unlikely I would ever think about sitting there
