Swedish Ju52

I havn't seen any conversions for Swedish Junkers. But it is more than different egines needed to build it. The engines were parallell and not pointing outward like most other Ju52's and the "motor gondolas" on the wings were wider. To this comes the problem with the cargo hatch that need to be removed and corrugation that has to be restored in its place. There is also a door behind the cockpit on the right side of the fuselage. So a conversion kit would almost be a new kit. New wings and engines and a new fuselage side.

I am trying to build one. I havn't found any good drawings so I'm doing it most from pictures. I removed the motor gondolas and ebuilt the corrugation and then mounted the gondolas parallel. When finished I learned that the original gondolas was wrong so I used some from a Matchbox Heinkel He-115.
Some pictures of my build can be found here: http://www.ipmsstockholm.net/forum/works...8cklund.xml&expand=1

I am using the Italeri Ju 52 since it was easy to find and I can use 0,3 and 0,4 mm plastic rods from Plastruct to rebuild the corrugation.
