Who if anyone makes a JU 52 in 25\28 mm scale? I need 5 or 6 for a game. Thanks a bunch John

If you are interested in assembling models, go to Squadron, squadron.com and do a search for "Junkers". Heller makes a 1/72 for around $15. USD There are some 1/48th scale that run $50-80. There are also some paper models available: link

There are also 1/72 scale kits by Airfix and Italeri, and Revell have probably also issued the Italeri one. Revell have their own one in 1/48 scale, but half a dozen of those would take up most of the average table.

Nappy, what are you doing with the Tanta Ju's? If it is for a airdrop of some paratroopers, then 1/72 would be fine. If it's an air strip raid of some kind or with landed JU 52s on an airfield, then I suppose 1/48 are a must.

Nappy, the scenario we play often is the LRDG night raid on a german desert airstrip. We use inexpensive ME-109s (5 of them) and a bomber. It's fun when they blow-up.

I did the 1/48 Revell one and it is about $35 USD IIRC. It isn't a bad kit and I am someone who hates kits.
