by Roland Sachsenhofer on September 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Junkers machines with names such as ‘Herta’ or ‘Annelise’: as creative, imaginative and revolutionary as Hugo Junkers' work was, when it came to naming the first Junkers F.13 aeroplanes, he showed himself to be very much a family [...]

Operation Gisela

by Michael Turner on September 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I built this kit way back in 2009. Having seen Rafi’s (@blackmopane) recent posting of his Ju 88G-6, I decided to take some new photos of mine and post them here. This model represents the night fighter flown by the commander of 7/NJG [...]

by Roland Sachsenhofer on August 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Whichever of the numerous stories associated with Hugo Junkers‘ amazing life and work you take in, you can be sure of one impression: whether as an Aachen professor of thermodynamics, entrepreneur, innovator in aircraft and aircraft [...]

Italeri 1/72 Junkers Ju 52 3M

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on July 4, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

The film "Where Eagles Dare" left me with a lasting impression. On several occasions I saw the Ju 52 used in the film during visits in Switzerland. It crawled in the sky and I could not imagine that this big aircraft would [...]

by Spiros Pendedekas on December 6, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Alles kaputt! A Junkers Ju 290A-7 crosses the Atlantic.

by Roland Sachsenhofer on November 15, 2022 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

To the original: Junkers Ju-290 A-7 "Alles Kaputt" (Everything Broken) The story that the Junkers Ju 290A-7 shown here can tell has undoubtedly earned the title "highly unusual". Even a first glance finds some [...]

Junkers flying giant, the first: Ju-290A-7

by Roland Sachsenhofer on October 29, 2022 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

About the original: the Ju-290 The sight of an original Ju-290 must have been extremely impressive. The sheer dimensions of this large aircraft were awe-inspiring: at an extraordinary 42 metres from wingtip to wingtip and a length of [...]

Revell 1/72 Junkers F.13

by Spiros Pendedekas on September 28, 2022 · in Aviation · 47 ≡

First flown on 25 June 1919, the F.13 was Junkers' first commercial aircraft and the world's first all-metal transport plane. Aerodynamically clean and without external bracing, it surely stood out in an essentially biplane era, with only [...]

Revell/MPM 1/72 Junkers Ju 290Z Zwilling w/He-178P

by Spiros Pendedekas on November 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 40 ≡

Hauptman Steinhoorn was a true envisionist (some called him mad): upon seeing the first Ju 290s developed from the civil Ju 90 versions, he put pressure on everybody to adopt Junkers concept of joining two 290s with a common central wing, [...]

The First and the Last: Junkers G.38 & Arado E.555

by Spiros Pendedekas on November 15, 2021 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

It might have been another very cold January 1945 night, but for Hauptman Ziegel and his crew, the situation could not have been hotter: there they were, flying at 30,000ft with their Amerikabomber fully loaded. Took off from Bordeaux at [...]
