I thought I could do with some larger aircraft for my 1/144th scale Heroes of the Sky scenario hooks, so what better than a Ju-52 'Iron Annie'. Those of you who, like me, grew up reading Warlord when I was at junior school, will remember the eponymous cartoon strip along with Kampfgruppe Falken, Killer Kane and so on, which heavily influenced my interest in wargaming. I have now got hold of an Altaya 1/144th scale Ju-52 for a good price, so will repaint it in an Eastern Front camouflage scheme and add it to the line up. Excellent!
Nice, a good idea to go with a smaller scale.....has got me thinking
ReplyDeleteIts actually scaling up fir me, from 1/600 and 1/285, partly to give my eyesight a rest.
DeleteCracking looking model.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Just needs some weathering and a spot of repainting here and there, otherwise it's a cracker!
DeleteI've loads of Warlord comics and annuals in loft. Couldn't part with them. Memories of UJJ, Killer Kane etc. Also have several hundred Commando, War and Battle comics. Will have to read some!
ReplyDeleteMy Mum chucked all of mine in the bin!
DeleteHi Jim,
ReplyDeleteI’m trying to get a copy of knights of the sky, so that I can try to convert to ww2 using 1/144 scale aircraft, so the same as you really, but I can’t get hold of knights of the sky, as the link no longer works.
